Cute game. Was there anything special to do with the beachball in the back or was that just to toss around? I tried to feed it to the shark but it just went through them.

Really likes graphics, this can be used in other projects. Btw gameplay is missing. Can't even control camera.

I love the graphical style of this! The dither shader is neat. I was unfortunately unable to make any progress in the game, though... there were a couple interactable objects on the island, but I couldn't figure out a way to accomplish anything with them. Perhaps I'm just missing something?

Cute and silly (good) game. The character control was a bit unintuitive to start with. The visual design is excellent.

@nidoprince nothing special to do with the beachball! Just there for fun :D

@stixffo hmm sorry that happened! Not sure what could have caused that

@python-b5 @pastmoments @miclefirst Thanks for playing!!

Haha, that was a fun, silly game.

The controls were a bit unintuitive, and I didn't get what to do at first. I wish you could control the camera, and that the mouse wasn't visible.

I thought for sure if I walked into the shark's mouth it would eat me, little disappointed it didn't, that would have been hilarious.

Still, loved the music and how silly the game felt. If it were longer though, I'm sure the music would have gotten annoying.

I absolutely cracked up the first time I got sent flying. The art style is adorable, it's got this really cozy, heartwarming feel to it.

Very fun and very funny, lol. movable camera would be nice, but it does what it wants to do very well. 10/10 sfx also. Found it very intuitive and wasnt stuck on anything.

画风也太太太太太可爱了！！！The theme is interpreted and executed perfectly. The game's concept design is fantastic, the art style is unique, and it's a truly innovative game—five stars! We hope you'll give our game a try. Thank you!

Gotta echo what a lot of other people have said. Really dig the art style. Definitely what drew me in, and I think it fits super well with the game you made and the humor you added to it. The controls were a bit rough, but honestly nothing too unwieldy. Turning towards certain directions was a bit tricky on occasion, and never being able to just... place something you have down (or maybe you could? I only ever got left click to drop) made things like box-stacking much more difficult than it needed to be. But I liked the game, and made it to the end! Nice work!

Good game, I loved the graphics. I got a little confused with the axe; I tried using it on the trees and it kept throwing it, and the tree wouldn't cut it. The physics of the objects is a bit strange too, especially the axe when it's attached to the player, but nothing that interferes with the game. Overall, I liked the game, it's simple, and has cute art. Congratulations!

This was so delightful, I really loved the sounds and animations that all gave the vibe of a kid playing with toys. Did you just do everything in an AnimationPlayer? I was confused by the locked camera initially but only for a couple seconds. Then I saw box and ledge and I knew my mission as a gamer. I didn't struggle to figure out what to do from that point onwards. The only thing I wanted was more! Great job!

very silly and charming! the style kind of reminds me of old edutainment games. wish I could give the beach ball to the shark :D

This was really fun! The part where the shark yanks the main character down just to make them pick fruit is hilarious, and the way the fire drifts around has a uniquely funny charm too. The music is super catchy as well. Aside from the camera not being rotatable and the tree interaction having a few minor issues, I think it’s an excellent game overall.

A fun little game, and I especially liked the voice acting. It wasn’t immediately obvious what to do, but a curious mind will figure it out! Unfortunately, the shark swallowed the ball (I thought it would do something), so I couldn’t take it with me onto the ship. Great work!

Humor, of course, is subjective, but it didn't work for me. For some reason, the logs didn't break well. And like the commentators above, I didn't have enough interaction with the shark (I thought I could at least feed it a ball). Well, the music quickly started to annoy, yes. And there weren't many mechanics for the jump, but that's a small thing, considering that I was doing it alone. The main thing is that you were able to finish the game, and that's great.

Okay, this is wonderfully bizarre. The visual style is so playful and unusual, it really stands out :)
