Really nice game! 😊 I enjoyed the survival and crafting mechanics. Everything is well made, and it's clear you have a lot of experience with game development. I did struggle quite a bit to find the feathers though! 😄

Thanks again for organizing the jam and for playing our game too. Great work! 👏

A more gradual tutorial and clearer mobile controls for storing boiled water could make getting started smoother.

I like the beginning drama. A lot of effort was put into the art, but why not go further and get better than procedural art? There is a background hiss through the whole game. Is that the stream? A lot of depth in the tasks. It was fun. I didn't play through, but I get the idea. Really nice overall. I think you should try something like Klein through Cloudflare for better art.

Great survival/crafting game! The amount of information at the start of the game is a bit overwhelming, but other than that it was fun to play.

Only played on mobile. I get it, and think there is something here, but as a mobile game I think it’s too clunky and hard to understand. Like I made a fire, boiled water, wanted to put water in my water bottle and could not for the life of me figure that out. With some work it could end up being really fun.

It was fun, I liked that you went deep into the survival aspects and obviously used lots of crafting elements. It was challenging, I did end up getting mauled by wolves a few times, and even more by a bear + wolves, definitely don't go out wandering at night. The music was a nice touch. Sometimes, when I was near some object (I think) a random "song" would briefly play then the main music would play, I'm not sure if I had found something of interest or what. For example, it played when I was near the crashed airplane, once only. Then when I wandered further north. Overall, a like it and it definitely a game I would play more. 


P.S Also dont drink the river water!
