This is really unique and cool! I definitely didn't understand that I was supposed to avoid the sun at first but once I figured that out, it's really neat. Great concept and you pulled it off really well.
Great to see such an original concept for this theme!!
The day/light cycle is really really good, once u get the hang of what u should do it also becomes challenging , can't believe u created this in just 7 days :)
Please rate my game too
Really creative and fun! Loved the atmosphere and the mechanics, specially how both Sunlight and Moonlight can be damaging, it's something I don't think I've seen in a game before. Sadly the poor guy ended starving a lot of times with me, maybe the hunger bar could go down a bit slower the first couple of days until you get used to the gameplay?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! In the future I'd like to come back and add varying difficulties. I wanted to make it hard to win but balancing it for a new player is much different than trying to balance it for myself.
Yeah. I understand that perfectly. We end playing and replaying the game so much while making and testing it, that it probably ends feeling way easier than it really is for us.
The tutorial could've been interactive. It took me some attempts to understand the concept, but a unique one nonetheless! Also great work with the night and day lighting.
Thank you! I wanted to make the tutorial more interactive, but didn't have time. I'd definitely like to come back to this project in the future and improve it.
That'd be awesome! Looking forward to it!
Feel free to play my game. I've implemented light concept but in a different way into it as part of the gameplay.
Really like the presentation. I don't really understand the game play though, unfortunately. I think it also lacks a bit of direction. Perhaps more thought should have been put towards the risk and reward of mining things getting rid of your shelter but being necessary for planting. Maybe that was on me though. Good job, regardless!
Once i understood it was really interesting. Actually a unique concept.
Check out my game if you get the chance!
Tricky game! Was able to complete it on my 4th or 5th attempt (mainly because I didn't realise that you had to return to shelter to actually eat).
Very cool concept, reminded me of The Martian, and love the art style.
This is so much fun! I love how you have to worry about both food and staying away from too much lighting. It's a little bit hard though and I had like 10 plants but they weren't growing so I couldn't do anything to survive.
