Wow, this is very pretty. Were the graphics assets created over the weekend? Too bad I couldn't fullscreen, or make the window bigger to see everything better. Gameplay was a bit hard to understand what was happening, and using the mouse it seemed that clicking on the windows was inconsistent.

I didn't really understand the controls or objective.

It looks really strange. I like this style.

Beautiful to look at and great music.

I found the hitboxes to be hard to hit, especially when I want to repair the windows. It requires at least 3 clicks before he starts repairing it.

Also I think that it would benefit from more strategy in gameplay, the only thing you have to do is harvest and repair, without much limitations. It would be fun to have a more challenging resource management.

The mood is effective and sucks you in.

Good job implementing the game. I do find it a little tricky to click the hammers (web).

Loved the art and music. Like some others I did find the hotspots hard to click sometimes, but it's fine once you get the hang of it. Fun and atmospheric. :)

Not bad. My suggestion how this game can be easily improved: 1) enlarge interactive area of hammers to make easy to click; 2) give sound feedback for nailing board, to know that you click is succeed; 3) set camera more close to floor (at now you can't see details and most part of screen empty); 4) tune up lowest point of camera for more comfortable angle.

Great art! Adding in more content could make the game more juicy, looking forward to different things.

The web link brought me to a zip instead of the .html! Let me know when it's fixed!

Gorgeous art, although I found interacting with the hammers and collecting planks a little unintuitive. Overall I kind of had no idea what I was doing when all the black stuff comes into the house and it was really hard to tell where my character was or if he was doing anything useful

Very moody game! I collect to much planks but no really action I find out.

Nice graphics, the visual style is quite good! The gameplay gets hard when you need to click several times on the hammer icons in order to repair the windows, sometimes it feels like you are not even repairing them. I think a sound when repairing would make a good feedback for the player, just to know if you are doing something or not!

Graphics and atmosphere are good! Sound could use a little bit more work in my opinion. Overall very good game for a short development time!

Very moody game that looks just incredible! I had the same problem as the others with the hitboxes, but it was doable. Very cool game! :)

This is just amazing. It was a bit hard to understand the gameplay at first but once you figure it out it's a really nice game. And the graphics are just amazing!

Nice graphics and theme. However, the small hotspots with no visual assistance are quite annoying.

Beautiful graphics and very nice concept. I love the shadows pouring in through the windows. I wish the games was a little harder, and I wish I had it on android :)

Looks and sounds nice, but could've used some sound effects. The gameplay was a bit dull, since it took a while to get started and trying to nail the boards was a bit imprecise.
