Lastopia by aweelex
Lastopia is a survival/puzzle game with time-traveling mechanics.
You are a colonist, delivering life not to another planet, but to the other times also.
Disclaimer:
I had not enough time to make a proper tutorial, so some details are here (in case you are stuck).
- You can build using the “J” button, but in the past only.
- Windmill can mill wheat, if you put it in the past.
- You can put Flour/Bun in the furnace.
Controls:
- [A]/[D] - to walk
- J - building menu (in the past only)
- I - to pick items up
- K - interact with buildings, plants
- L - to throw items, cancel building

Almost everything was made in three days.

But i really like graphics and music
I offer the following minor changes not as critical notes, just suggestions: I wish the movement animation was a little more fluid, and one arm moves behind the survivor's body. I think a slight change in sky color (morning/afternoon? Cloud cover?) would have helped indicate when the player was in the past/vs future alongside the AWESOME musical cues. I think a could of items should have been producible in the future as well as the past. Bread in particular seems like it's useless when I can live off of berries and apples in the future directly. Should have been able to bake in the future. I'm eating ten year old loaves!
Very limited inventory had me juggling in a good way and thinking. Really love the pixel art, aside from the main character's animation. Would have loved a few more mechanical sounds from the mines and whatnot to help show that I'm slowly bootstrapping up a civilization and give even more ambience.
All of that aside, I spent more time with this than any other entry so far and enjoyed it over my morning coffee. I wish I had gotten to see the end! I can't help but think some item was meant to randomly drop to unlock the next tech.
Still, I really enjoyed my time in this world, and I'd love to see a tighter more polished version some day. Thanks so much for sharing!
