I've noticed that this is often related to full-screen mode—sorry you had to deal with audio issues. 

That's one of the most creative game ideas I've ever seen. And it taught me that, to live a happy life, I should just do the opposite of what I enjoy doing. Then I'll have lots of money, a house, a family—and that has to be enough :D Joking aside, it's an awesome concept with depth—I think it's really, really cool!

The ratings on itch are sometimes unfair. How can such a great and insanely good-looking game have so few ratings?! The music and atmosphere deserve a 10 out of 10. The visuals are a 9 out of 10 (the player character could stay as is, but I’d prefer something else—something animated). Because of a few glitches, I’d only give the mechanics a 9/10. But man, this is an awesome game. I got stuck on the level where you get the freeze ability, though. My brain just can’t wrap its head around it today after work :D Insanely awesome game—please keep developing it!

I like this retro-style arcade game design. The sound is authentic, but really annoying. The gameplay feels intuitive but is a bit difficult to master. All in all, it's well done.

I like trains.

And this game is a solid foundation for a game that I’d love to see on Steam once it’s finished! Right now, it’s still a little too easy—but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Visually, it’s wonderful, and the audio is fine. The concept is wonderful, and this game is destined for great things!

This is one of the best games from this game jam. It's so polished and finished! It just has everything! The theme is executed perfectly, it looks amazing, and the sound doesn't get on my nerves right away. Wonderful! It really makes me jealous!

I'm having a bit of trouble with the game mechanics. But I really like the tabletop approach. For a game jam, this is actually pretty good—maybe you'll want to keep developing it afterward and add an interactive tutorial for dummies like me.

I actually think the game concept is pretty cool, and I like the visuals, too. The music gets really monotonous after a while. I ran out of wood and had to wait for my inevitable death—but that was my human failure. 

Exactly my kind of thing—but unfortunately a bit unfinished. At first I'm completely overwhelmed and play so badly that the band only lets me play the drums lol.Actually, it's a cool idea. My score was 147,700. No idea if that's good or not :D

Cute little game. You really have to think of the idea with the penguins first—Noot Noot!

Not only does it look awesome, but it's also a ton of fun. Bonus points because it reminds me of a Game Boy Color game—though I've forgotten its name... 

From a purely visual standpoint, the game is really impressive. It looks really polished and complete. Kudos—especially considering how little time you had.

I think it's a great idea! I found the second stage the hardest. After that, it went smoothly—as long as the fuel gauge wasn't too low. It's fun, but it's also a little frustrating at the same time. 

Okay, I really messed up in my first round. By the second round, I got the hang of it. An (interactive) tutorial for dummies like me would have been great. But the game itself is already a lot of fun. An endless mode would be awesome.

That's insanely good! So well-rounded and polished! I don't even need to write anything else! Awesome stuff! (I'm stumped at around 15...)

It's way too stressful for me. I mean, with this kind of game, stress is pretty much inevitable. But here, it's a bit too much for me. First, you have to be careful not to click the wrong spot with your fat fingers, then read the text, and suddenly click in descending order and immediately look for another number under 20. The idea is cool, but you can really tell that I can't handle stress.

This game is a blast! The concept, the artwork—top-notch. You’ve done a great job designing the Itch page, too! The music does get on my nerves a bit after a while, though :D. And since I mess up so often, I have to start over all the time, which is a little annoying. All in all, though, great job! 

To be honest, this game is a bit too much for me. It looks great—I love the Game Boy aesthetic and the 8-bit sounds. With this kind of game, I just like to be guided through it. A creative approach and a rare entry in a GameJam—good job!

Wow, just WOW. This is so unbelievably funny! Even though I keep thinking, “Dude, write faster.” I think it could have been a little shorter. I used the rest of the time to play the platformer, but I totally sucked at it. I really like this game!

Thank you :D

It's really great to read that the game's take on this theme has been so well received. I'm also glad that the game manages to get people's minds moving. Thanks for your feedback!

I'm glad you like my game. You're absolutely right—a skip button, even if it only appears on the second playthrough, would have really helped. 

As for the endings, I designed it so that the supposedly most pacifist approach isn’t always the most effective one. In my opinion, that’s not how the world works (unfortunately). Thank you so much for your constructive feedback!

I'm glad you like this approach so much! 

I'm glad to hear that—I mean, that you like the music and the performance, not the part about nuclear war :)

Thank you!

Hey, thank you for your interest. The game was developed during a game jam, where there was very little time to develop a game from scratch. We simply didn't think to add a skip button, and we haven't continued developing this game since the end of the game jam.

This game looks truly promising. I have been searching for a survival game that includes familiar survival game features, but without a twist such as zombies, mutants, or silly dinosaurs.

Hey there, thanks for your interest. 

TL;DR
Sadly, this game is not playable but you can watch gameplay in this YouTube Video

I like games like that too. I've been inspired by some of the other idle games on Itch. Glad you enjoyed it.

One of the best games of this game jam, in my opinion. I wasn't quite sure how to proceed at first and the game froze once, but overall it's a very good basis for much more. I'm very interested in the progress!

Visually, the game is a bomb! Really appealing. The game mechanics are also well implemented!

I have a small vocabulary. Really fun game. I really like it!

The audio sounds great. Unfortunately, I had a few scaling problems and couldn't enjoy it quite as much. I used to play a lot of games like this. It reminds me a bit of ‘Natalie Brooks’, if that means anything to you.

With a little more time, it will certainly become an interesting game. I think it's a very good idea.

I think the game is a solid basis for more. It reminds me a little bit of Age of War (a browser game).

The swing mechanic reminded me of the game Teeworlds. I liked it, but it's too hard for me to beat :D

Thank you for your feedback. I didn't have time to fix the error in the end. As a result, the beginning seems rather slow.
