Impressive first game jam entry. Keep up the good work!
Thanks heaps!
I managed to escape the island from those crab bullies. This plays fairly well but I'd consider not having certain objects collide with the player like the smallish stones and coconuts, in the event of running away from the massing crabs they can be a little annoying.
Thanks for the feedback. Definitely something to consider next time round.
Glad to hear you were able to escape. Thanks for playing my game!
Hey seemed like a pretty cool game. I was confused at first regarding what to do but reading your instructions on the itch.io paged helped, so I would suggest explicitly adding such instructions/some sort of objective in game to point the player's towards a direction. Other than that I loved the crabs!
thank you for the feedback and for giving my game a go. You’re absolutely right. I ran out of time to implement some sort of objective/tutorial type system. Again, thank you!
Had trouble finding sticks and interacting with stuff, I’d suggest making interaction boxes a bit bigger so it’s easier to aim at them.
Thanks for the suggestion. You should start off with one stick. You'll have to pickup a stone (smaller than the rocks) to then create the axe and mine trees.
i only managed to find stones. where do i get sticks and leaves from? i cant interact with gras or the trees. am i missing something?
Sticks and leaves can be obtained through chopping down the palm trees. You'll need to create an axe to do that. You should spawn in with one stick/wood.
However I've been made aware of a bug where if you respawn you'll start off with 0 sticks/wood. Reloading the page should fix that issue. Thanks for giving my game a shot!
