Nice music, pretty relaxing, though the game quickly becomes tedious, as the landscape is very same-y and you get lost wandering around the same place.

Its not a bad game, but you can easily go off screen and the animations have some sort of weird delay, so you can walk forwards while facing backwars...

its still a pretty good game !
keep it up!

I got lost very quickly, but I managed to beat the game anyway by brute force. It reminds me of Don't Starve.

Great character! I always hate it when some kind of tornado comes by and takes my clothes ;)
Good job!

@shinmera Thank you for your feedback! :) I really like the music and sounds design that @freyje have done too. And you're right, sadly I've run out of time to do a true level design and a pretty map, so it end up with a simple flat and repetive map.

@wansou That's true, a bad point for us we didn't had the time to make colliders at the border of the map so the character can get out of the playable area. We also notice that the walking animations are doing weird stuff, we will probably try to fix it for a next release! Thank you for your support anyway ^^

@zhaan I loved the art and especially the color palette, it brings a lot of calm during the gameplay!
And feel free to go play and rate our project, it will be an honor!

Fun project, I enjoyed my time playing it.

-player seems a bit detached from the ground, I feel like the angle of the character doesn't match the isometric tiles
- when you turn and start walking in new direction, it takes about 1s for the animation to swap too
- need sounds or other feedback when picking stuff up.

@marcin-j thanks for the feedback! :)

For the animation, it will be fixed for the v2. Implementing and managing animations in Unity isn't really my forte. haha
As for the sound effects, yep. The sad thing is @freyje had them ready in time, but I didn't have the time to implement them. :/ So they'll be there in the v2. o/

We'll take a look at the angle of the character or at least how to make it a bit less "detached" from the ground, thanks again for the feedback. :)

I love making 'find your pants' the main objective in a survival game :D

I liked the mood of the game. Not a big fan of survival game but you got the execution right! Good work overall!

When moving the sprite sometime takes time to face the correct direction, and in the transition sometimes goes through a sprite of the wrong direction.

The human sprite is very well done! I think it would have been better if all the bushes, items, and trees were isometric like the orange tree.

Some basic sound effects would have helped greatly, but the music is nice and relaxing.

Ok, i have to admit, i missed the bit about using space to pick berries, so i had to run to finish the game before i died of starvation.

A take on a small survival game. Good job.
