Thank you. I'm definitely excited to continue working on it.

Cool idea, but not much gameplay yet

Developer(+1)

Thank you. I plan on fleshing the game out more once the Jam is over. I only had about a day maybe a day and a half to work on it. Work got in the way so I spent most of Sunday and a little bit of the day Monday before the Jam ended trying to get as much finished as I could.

Love the cow picture. I couldn't pick anything up, so haven't yet voted in case you can tell me what i'm doing wrong

Developer

Sorry about that. I meant to add the controls to the page. I will update it as soon as I can. However the items you can pick up are: plant, stick and stone. You can use the E key to interact. Tab will open up the inventory menu. Unfortunately my job took a lot of my time so I was only able to spend Sunday on the game. I was hoping to add a lot more features to it but just ran out of time.

While the idea sounds interesting, I cannot really say whether it was fun since I could not get beyond picking up a few items. When I finally found the crafting menu I couldn't see any recipes and it looked like I only picked up sticks (also, the mouse being visible was a little annoying)

Developer

Yes, sorry about that. The recipes and crafting wasn't finished unfortunately. I was trying to get it all in but time was my enemy. I didn't start the game until Sunday due to some work deadlines that I had to meet. The game will be fleshed out more. I am working on more features now but unfortunately it will generate a new build and that goes against the rules of the GameJam. However once the Jam has concluded I will be uploading a new build that will address the crafting and inventory issues.
