It may be something in the future to just make sure that initial spawn area is clear\/has trees\/etc.\n\nThat minor issue aside, coming away from a jam with a game that really gives the feeling of a famous indie in 3 days time is extremely impressive.

Don't think I've played another game like it, for starters. The art, sound, music, and gameplay concept are all really fun and compelling. I'd say there are two things I don't necessarily love: the animations\/action speed--which can feel slow and clunky in a way that I think undercuts the desperation of the game--and how the controls for item interaction work--which again feel clumsy in an unintentional way.
