It was too easy to kill yourself with coffee, and it didn't drop the sleep bar enough to be useful. Plus, there was plenty of time on the game timer to harvest all the necessary materials without a drop of coffee. I also would have liked for there to be more sounds beyond the simple footstep noises. I think if there had been background music or other sounds, the footfalls would have been fine, but as the only sound in the game they got kind of annoying. Still, a good effort for a solo comp game. Nice work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"NikorasuChan","author_uid":"1053494","time":"2017-12-07T08:28:54Z","epoch":1512635334,"modified":1512635334,"text":"The low-poly art certainly looks good. However, I didn't like that every bar looks like a slider knob (that you can't control). The loud footstep gets really annoying after a while, I suggest you to decrease the volume, at least that minimizes the problem. There is a huge lack of feedback for when your inventory is full, and I had to constantly look down to see if its full. The coffee screen effect after you drank it doesn't fill up my screen (it fills up a small portion of my screen in the center, and my screen resolution is 1920x1080). The coffee doesn't even help that much at all, probably will need some rebalancing, and there is no indication of how much I can drink before I die (discount the redder screen, which again, only fills up a portion of the screen). Finally, its hard to mine the stone because it is very picky about where im looking at before it allows me to interact with it. Overall, good effort.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Shess","author_uid":"1009649","time":"2017-12-08T14:42:19Z","epoch":1512744139,"modified":1512744139,"text":"Nice visuals and overall gameplay.

At least I haven't overdosed myself with it in real life... yet.\n\nI think a mild nature ambient would be a nice addition to the experience.
