I think the carrying mechanic was well executed and added a skill requirement to the game what is greater than some of the other games in the Lucky Lefty saga. Once I realised you could drop items from above, I realised that there was more depth to the gameplay too! The collectables at the bottom seemed a big investment to get, probably the hardest area to harvest from. Some more UI feedback would have been nice to help me know when I'm approaching an end game criteria.

Good job on that!\nWhat I think could be improved: I felt that game was a little too difficult for me, due to the slight clunkyness of the controls (or rather, their relation to the physics, I guess?). I get that the point of the game IS that you will have trouble to collect all assets and survive, but I got frustrated at some point.\n\nGood job on this, it deserves more attention!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":824960,"author_name":"LDJam user 250905","author_uid":"250905","epoch":1649691723,"text":"I loved it!

At first the floaty feeling of the controls and items didn't feel so great, but I got used to balancing items once I figured out where to take them. However, I felt like it was too zoomed in or not enough clues where to go. I found most things by accident and really struggled to find water; nearly died of water on day 2. Ended up dying of fire on day 3 instead because I'd already lost most of the sticks in the level on day 1, lol.\nInteresting choice to include the actual book the snail is reading, which I assume is public domain. Also glad you allowed the player to skip it.\n\nEnjoyed the general forest ambience, but yeah. Wish I had a better clue where to go for each item.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":932497,"author_name":"Statiko","author_uid":"statiko","epoch":1681217334,"text":"I attended a conference where I met a literature review specialist who was presenting their research work.
