Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) \r<br\/>So we can include also your game in the video ;) \r<br\/>p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description."},{"author_name":"Recursiveanomaly","author_uid":"18179","time":"Sep 10, 2016 @ 2:51am","epoch":1473475560,"text":"Haha, that was fun.

The graphics are okay, although the enemies don't exactly match the 3D models, and the axe is much less detailed than the trees.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sadly I didn't finish the game because I used all the trees on the campfire, and then I couldn't build the boat. :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The music is pretty good and the sound effects do actually kind of make it tense. Eventually I found the scream to be quite hilarious though :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The tree car was a lot of fun :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall nice job!"},{"author_name":"xzippyzachx","author_uid":"92760","time":"Sep 11, 2016 @ 9:32pm","epoch":1473629220,"text":"This is an ok game!
