One of the best interpretations of the theme I've seen yet. Well done!

Great work on making this in 48 hours!

My feedback would be to add a tutorial on what to do.

A nice snapshot of frontier life. Very difficult to stay alive - I kept accidentally dismantling the fire. A well constructed little world.

It was an interesting idea, definitely needs a bit more to it though imo

I had some trouble moving the man around. And it took me a sec to figure out the trick to getting extra wood lol. Neat game idea!

Thank you very much! I will upload a fix for the man not moving as soon as the jam voting period is over :-)

Submitted

Good proof of concept! The idea could definitely be pushed further into a very fun game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! :-D

The man is basically uncontrollable for me. I click him and he moves slightly but I can't click to control where he goes? The woman works intuitively.

You basically have to harvest everything and go back to the fire to get warm, but nothing else really seems to happen.

Thanks for the feedback!  I ran out of time to fix the bug with the man unfortunately but glad that the controls would have been intuitive if it had of worked!

The game doesn't feel finished and is lacking polish. What was the "colonists saved" counter all about? I tried putting them on the boat and it didn't do anything. On my second attempt I found out that you had to destroy everything.

Still, congrats on submitting a game!

Developer

The plan was to have it that you needed X wood and Y Food to get on the boat but I ran out of time to implement it. (As well as polish things and fix the bugs):-(  

Good to hear that you got the idea though! :-D
