Kia ora e hoa. Love the music, really nicely matched and great vibe for the game. It matched the speed I was navigating around the place - smooth movement and descriptive pop-ups. Found the game fun and engaging. Was really easy to use and navigate. Well done , I enjoyed it! I agree, would be fun to play a more developed version in the future. Thank you for being a part of the Jam. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe ^KT
I enjoyed exploring in your game and love the idea of having the moon at the top to show the time changes! The arrows were helpful in getting me to explore the different distinct areas. I also like the informative descriptions of the different items. Would be fun to play a more developed version in the future.
yep what I wanted was for the maramataka (lunar calendar) to drive and set the pace of the game play, lots of possibilities, but its 48 hours, whaddayagonnado - thanks for feedback
I'm guessing some of the gameplay isn't developed yet? Can't do much beyond gather. Also seem to be some issues with terrain blocking the player - should I be able to get to the bow or not, for example?
What you have is very fun, though! The music is a BOP and I loved it. The MS-Paint style aesthetics are actually pretty fun and goofy and make the movement animation enjoyable. The movement itself feels quite responsive as well - perhaps for future upgrades he might get a bit of acceleration. I think that would feel really fun to play.
I loved the text descriptions of tools, buildings and plants! I wish I had an inventory to review what I had, but I did enjoy learning new concepts just through gameplay!
Great work!
yep correct its incomplete and buggy - but all good
