Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description. (you can already find several games from the jam there)

Cool prototype and an interesting theme. I like the idea of playing as a caveman and hunting/gathering food. But there is still a lot of work to be done. The screen stopped scrolling after killing the cheetah/hyena(?) but there was still context actions off screen leading me to believe that there is more content there. I wish combat was more than context actions as well.

Really digging the art style though. Keep up the great work.

I love the graphics / animation and the music. The game is a bit short but it shows potentials. I would love to see a game about stone age, not a lot of games uses this theme. Good work for jamming and submitting though! :)

I love the art, especially on the dead carcass!
It's great to walk around pressing Spacebar to see what happens. Especially enjoyed jumping to collect from the trees. I would love to see thought put into what you do with the collected foods but it's a great start to a game. Nice work. :)
