Your talent is very much on show mate, love this game.

Developer

Thanks Marcus. It was a blast playing and a lot of the success and pride I feel for it comes from the amazing play testers that gave feedback early to help me fashion the game in this wonderful direction.

This artwork is incredible, and I really like the idea. For some reason I was unable to move around or jump. But throwing the spears was fun!

Developer

That's interesting (and unfortunate). Sorry to hear that. What were you using for movement? A/D? A Gamepad? Something that would help me look into the matter since this is a first about this issue reported. Thanks for trying it out!

I was using A/D. I did not get a chance to test with a gamepad due to children, but might revisit later if time.

Developer

Interesting. On PC? Or Mac? What browser. I'm surprised A/D didn't work :(.

Oh, it worked this time! My gamepad didn't connect, but that's on my end. Keyboard worked for me this time. PC, Chrome.

Developer

Oh that's good to hear. I wonder what caused it to begin with...hmm.. I hope you have fun! Let me know if you find any bugs. ;)

I really like the concept, it's a really unique idea. I also really like how you explain a mechanic as it happens, but the text is really hard to read, at least for me. Otherwise, great job!

Developer

Thanks Joker. Were you playing on a small screen and/or not at full screen? I'm asking so it's something I can keep in mind for next time (or later with bug fixes!).

Great look and feel to the game.
Such a unique platformer, being able to climb down and up the tree. 
Had fun also shooting the bubbles during the day, and hunting down the blobs to mine as well.
Great job!

Thanks Morgan!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.
