Well done.
I died a couple of times without understanding fully what's happening, and I'm sure I missed quite a bit of content still. I shall be back to explore this a bit more. Is there a way to pull up the control scheme after the splash screen? You could probably mention the controls in the description on this page.
The breadth of the game is quite impressive for a 3 day Jam. The graphics reminded me of Illusion of Gaia, a real nostalgia trip. The sound, the music, and (for the most part) the mechanics were all pretty smooth even if they took a few deaths to figure out. I agree with the comments that noted that a tutorial might have gone a long to move this game from "overwhelming" to "expansive."
Overall, great job!
a bit of a shame that, in the web version at least, the tilemap has a bit of a gap next to a small stone heap.
Nice entry, fits the theme, good job!
My criticism is really just that the map was too big. It took me a while to figure things out and it made managing things take a little too long. The same with finding items. I think if it was much smaller, the gameplay would be a bit easier to figure out and feel more frantic.
Other than that, I don't have a whole lot to criticise! You have a farming system, fishing, digging, exploration and sleep mechanics as well as a few others. This was really well done and I would love to see this worked on more to see where it could go. I think this has great potential!!

I like the idea of a survival game, like Don't Starve, but I believe is a bit too big. I would recommend this, how about you start in a smaller island, and you can exchange your experience for land tiles? so you have more room for the actitives you like to do the most.
