Wow, such cool art. Little laggy, sound bugged sometimes, but overall, this game actually made me pretty happy. I'd actually really love to see more content once the jam is over. I can imagine this becoming a very cool and unique surviving game lmao

the game is quite good ! but there are some feedback on visual style :-

it feels like i am fishing in turtles tail:3

  • the walking animation or jumping animation needs some work:3 
  • and  it took me too long to figure out how to grow plants

This is one of the most gorgeous games I've seen so far. I really like that the loot tables change depending on the biome you're in, like when you're in the ocean place you can fish in actual fish.

AMAZINGLY CUTE, I love the pun you did as well. It would be really cool if you expand on this.

I love that we can pet the turtle! The atmosphere feels great and I like the fact that we can discover new recipes with the ingredients that we have. Good job!

Option to pet the turtle = 10/10 game

It was mandatory for this game tbh, wouldn't be worth putting out if you couldn't pet the turtle ^-^

Love the pixel art and the feel of this game. I would love to see the ideas expanded in a full game. I wish there was more to do like going inside the house or upgrades.

Super cozy game. I really enjoyed it, and i see so much potential for expansion. Well done!

nice little cozy game, though don't know how bro is fishing in a desert XD, still really nice game!

Wow, the graphics on this are amazing! I think it really gives off a fantasy world kind of vibe which fits the game, and at the same time it is also really cozy. 

The game itself is also really cozy and laidback as well, which is a nice change of pace compared to what I normally play. The only thing I would say in feedback here is that maybe there could be more mechanics to shake things up and make the game even more fun.

I also dig the audio, most especially the music on this. I think the sound effect for walking though has a little bit of peaking and crackling on it which can be a bit distracting, but overall the sounds complement the vibe of the game.

Overall, if you were going for a cozy and calm experience, I think you all did a great job!
