How does the game fit the theme?
We are stranded at an alien island with weird dinos and aliens, as we try to gather wood to fix our ship to escape, the aliens turn our crew-members into imposters, sabotaging our resources and the sip we are trying to fix. In addition there are obstacles to over-come to finish the ship and get out of this god forsaken island.

Hell yeah! As a fan of sim colony games like Oxygen Not Included and Factorio, this is one of the games I've rated that I genuinely had fun playing with and want to keep coming back to try and beat it. I only made it to Day 3, but I'll do my best to finish the game and fix that wreck of a ship.
The resource management aspect has just the right amount of challenge. Good decision on the dinosaur AI as well where it only follows you when you’re nearby.
I can definitely see this being expanded with more features and mechanics: a helper type that also harvest food, more enemy types that require different methods to kill, and more.
Keep it up!
I appreciate the kind words, glad you enjoyed it. in our team only the artist were god-gamer who actually finished the game. We don't have any future plans but we definitely will keep in mind your suggestions. Cheers!
This was fun! The actions felt snappy, the challenge of fending off dinosaurs AND alien invaders was interesting, and I only made it to day 4!
I'll definitely be coming back to this to try and finish building the ship!
Thank you for your kind words,
you must a god gamer because our programmer barely made it to the 3rd day.
We're glad you enjoyed it!
I honestly had a really fun time playing this! I only managed to survive a couple days before my bonfire went out, couldnt get enough wood in time haha, loved the alien part!
