Also, the game was already playing while I was at the help screen, so I had to read it all and reload the game so I wouldn't die reading the controls. :P
For some reason, some of the trees I collect can't be planted. I have no idea why.
Also, some of the trees have no fruid at all. I don't know if that was intentional.
The control screen let me believe I should harvest the plants and then eat them, but I shouldn't harvest the plant to eat it: I just stand in front of the plant and press the button to eat it.
At last, the mouse isn't being released at the "game over" screen, so I had to Alt+Tab to release the mouse and close the game.
Anyway, interesting concept! I think it lacks a little motivation to keep the player going, but with some goals or milestones it could be fun. Good luck with it! :)
There's a slight delay on the jump that I wish wasn't there. That's a small criticism.
Loved that I was able to move around a small world. Good interpretation of the theme.
I have to admit I couldn't focus well on reading the help menu when the music was basically telling me I was going to die in a few seconds. I would have personally appreciated it if bringing up the help menu paused the game.
The controls were a bit finicky, with the jump having a weird feel and my character sometimes getting blocked when walking into plants. For some reason, some crops couldn't be planted and some plants couldn't be harvested. I also didn't understand how to get oxygen and I eventually died because of that.
There's also a bug when you die: you can press Escape and still play the game for a second, then the "you died" menu appears again, then you can press Escape again, etc.
I'm criticizing a lot but that's in hope you fix these little things, because the game was a nice experience and I'd love to play an updated version of it!
The god mode was a great touch too, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for sharing, well done!
It's a nice game, but the concept is a bit limited. You just have to plant max of food, water and oxygen at one point and that's all. But the game is well done, audio relaxing and Thank you!!! Is very cool to play with a controller!
Again, well done, this is great.
I reviewed almost all comments above, without seeing developers explain it.
Although, a pretty survival game indeed.
Thanks for the feedback on the lack of a tutorial / the text being overload - I totally agree! To be honest it was all I could manage in the time we were given but in the next game we make we'll be sure to incorporate that sort of stuff as we go along!
画面和氛围很棒,氧气花和孤独的气氛让我联想到了无人深空和异星探险家。
Also, props for the giant flaming stone head!
