I like the concept. And i love that you must explore for do and make stuff. Also love the surprise of every time you go back home

Not so much 'keep it alive', as 'bring it back to life', but a fun game nonetheless! Very polished and simple game play loop done well. My only criticism is that the grid-based movement feels a bit strange at first; almost floaty.

At first I thought "a bit gray" - but yes - it looks nice and is different to the other islands I saw in the game section!

Loved the feels well done guys!

Very Pretty game :O

nice concept, very good art and sound, Good Job

Cool game. I had a hard time figuring out how to switch my item, and I kept accidentally exiting from the "pause" menu.

Very nice. Got too greedy and didn't return in time :(

The art and music are nice, but I don't know how to cut down trees. Where do I get an axe? Also, the controls are not mentioned anywhere. WASD to move is easy to pick up, but I can't figure out the rest of the controls.

Beautiful pixel art and music!

I really liked the game, but couldn't figure out how to equip the different tools I found. Next time you should probably put a tutorial or in the description, a list of the buttons/action you can take.

Love the music and the artwork! The controls seem to stick a little bit when moving in a direction. Enjoyed how the island gets progressively move vibrant!

Really like the art and music! Cool concept and game runs smoothly. Nice job!

The music and graphics are great, but the gameplay feels incomplete. This would be great with post-jam work done on it :)

Really nice and cute game! I really enjoyed the graphics and watching the island slowly start to gain colour - the music changes as the days progress is a really nice touch as well!

It took me a while to figure out you had to place the seeds in the big boxes, and I also couldn't find a way to switch between my items (the only way I could do it was by using my mouse to switch them around?).

All in all, I enjoyed the game, and I think it has a lot of potential if you ever feel like adding more to it - Great work!

Really amazing game! The atmosphere was well-crafted.

It's lovely and peacefull! Love the mood, the music, etc. It's quite hard to figure out how to plant seeds but once you know it, it's nice! Really a nice entry, I liked it.

An in-game helper when you pick up your second tool could be helpful to remind how to switch between tools. I had to restart the game to read the tutorial again.

I has a good idea, great graphics, but the controls are a bit janky

I love this game! The atmosphere it creates is soothing and makes you want to stay in it.

Cool game, nice idea, i like the fact that the viligers wake up after some days, it gives a feeling of progrssion.
It is realy a cool and complete game with some nice music.

Really nice idea, could play this continuously. The returning home feature is a bit of a pain as I couldn't get to the far side of the island and back in one day. Wanted to make everything colourful. Really nice feeling of progression.

Loved the time I spent with it! The first few days where I was exploring the island, finding my way around the games mechanics, and seeing the colour slowly return to the world were honestly magical. I think the fact that I didn't know about the colour changing going in really added to that moment.

As it went on I found the days to get a little repetitive, especially towards the end where I had to go from one end of the island to the other just to water two trees. I would love to have kept playing if there was more to do. Perhaps talking to the octopus-people that live on the island would have been a great addition - give them something new to say each day. But, I know it was a jam game and scope is a big issue. Please keep working on this though, you've got something really great here!

The only other thing I would address are the controls. They worked, but felt very clunky. It's as if there was a small delay between me changing which direction I was pressing, and then the character actually going that way. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but should definitely be fixed up.

Overall though, great job!

Beautiful game! The art is amazing. The music is also very nice. The idea is good and the game is full of things to do. A bit hard but fun game. Good job.

I couldn't figure out how to get/use tools.

Really liked this! I'd like to see it fleshed out with more content. Music and art help fill a great vibe.

The game is interesting. I did not immediately understand everything, but the gameplay is fascinating. Nice visual style and cool idea.

The monochromatic theme changing into the colorfull one is a really good idea and works perfectly for this game

I figured out the confusing item selection eventually (drag item into first slot) but then my axe somehow moved out of the item box and on top of a torch where I couldn't pick it up again. Pressing a key to cycle through items would have been much better.

Apart from some gameplay and level designe issues, it's a nice little game! The art is cute, the music well fitting and relaxing. I enjoyed playing through. Like some other mentionned, you could make a quite nice post-jam update to make it complete.

Little things that could be improved to make it more fun :
- **Key bindings information in game** would be nice. I came from itch.io, and couldn't figure out the inventory at all, even after trying every key.
- **Looping music** between days? The last track is beautiful, a shame it goes silent when going home.
- **Key for inventory items**. Using mouse seemed really counter-intuitive at first, even if I got used to it, could be nice. Or maybe mouse scrolling. Drag-and-drop, while efficient in the end, doesn't really fit the style imo.
- **Longer days**. It takes a while to go from on point of the island back to the boat, and that's okay. But the time passes very fast, and it takes *forever* to chop down a tree. Considering the amount of trees...
- if not longer days, **faster tree chopping**. It took me far too many days to cut all the trees.
- **Less seeds** or **more tree planting**. A bit of a shame we cannot plant tree wherever we want, but understandable. I had gathered more than 3 stacks of seeds by the end, and only used a very low amount. (If more tree planting, and not longer days, maybe shorten watering too?)
- It took me a while to figure out that the watercan was actually not for **waterings and growing the flowers**. Could be a nice addition!
- **Endgame**. It was enjoyable that the world evolved as days went by, but a bit of a disappointement that nothing happened when every task was completed.

I noticed two places where a patch of grass is missing, I think : to the north, and to the far east.
