Randomly generated open world roguelike with crafting. It feels almost too ambitious for the compo :wink: \n\nI liked it. The simple graphics work in favor of your game. Since the whole concept of the game is figuring out what the items do, it would have benefitted from more feedback when using them. Most of the time I wasn't sure the item did anything at all.\n\nNice game overall :thumbsup: \n\nOh, and you might want to rate some games yourself, otherwise the system buries your game. I wouldn't have discovered it if I wasn't explicitly looking for games with zero ratings.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld45\/170796-f67bd764edb05d683350fe26d32e0ae1.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/fermatsfish.itch.io\/stay-alive-2-survive","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/fermatsfish.itch.io\/stay-alive-2-survive","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"56193","g_author":"1002280","g_event":"LD45","g_eventkey":"78","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"264218","g_title":"Stay Alive 2 Survive","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","g_site2_node_id":"170796","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"170796","n_urlkey":"264218","n_parent":"159347","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/45\/stay-alive-2-survive","n_slug":"stay-alive-2-survive","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"2280","n_created":"1570367267","n_modified":"1570616973","n_version":"525626","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":170796,"parent":159347,"superparent":9,"author":2280,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2019-10-06T13:52:06Z","created":"2019-10-06T13:07:47Z","modified":"2019-10-09T10:29:33Z","version":525626,"slug":"stay-alive-2-survive","name":"Stay Alive 2 Survive","body":"## Background and Image\n\n![shot.png](\/\/\/raw\/8e8\/z\/25e09.png)\n\nStay Alive 2 Survive is a sequel to Stay Alive which I made for a previous ludum dare.
