How have you integrated the theme "Freedom but at what cost" in your game?
The game is arctic exploration. The main idea is about balancing your freedom to explore with the physical and mental costs.

Like the shader , but visibility and collider issue , i fell down into mesh i guess .
Interesting concept though :)

Developer

Thanks for letting me know! That's not one I ran into myself, I'll look into it (:

The game is plenty fun. I couldn't read most text so I just found one tower, gathered the readings and then got lost. I should have used the flags better. The "compass" worked a bit unexpectedly. I think I'd buy a game like this.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Sorry about the readability, I think I changed the font out like 5 times in dev, with some more time post-jam I'll be considering some much-needed accessibility features (:

This is amazing! What a scope - I was able to find my way to the tower, but was unable to climb it to take readings. I love this game; the flags are super intuitive, and the atmosphere is just chilling (ba dum tiss)

Fantastic work, I love it.

Thank you so much (:

I hope to come back to this one, patch it up, polish things. I'm glad you felt the chill! I don't know if I was just listening to it for so many hours, but I eventually got annoyed by the wind sound and it stopped feeling atmospheric to me haha.


Thanks a ton for playing and sharing your thoughts!

I like it, the atmosphere is nice. The text is a bit hard to read

The visuals are so clean! The shaders do their job really well!

This was sooo cool I love the art!

Developer

Thankyou! I'm glad someone thinks so, I spent the whole time really questioning that..

Really!? It's simple and clean and easy on the eyes. It also looks super professional :) You got the effect of a sand/snowstorm with a limited color palette. Its a job well done. Keep it up!

Aww this idea has so much potential!!! shame you had to stop development.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you think so, I hope I get some more time in the coming weeks or months, I'd love to try and 'finish' it up (:
