Such a beautiful game, the art and music really draws you in. It's easy to tell that a lot of effort has been put into this game. The narrative and the puns made he chuckle several times.

Very very very nice visuals. A strong point of the game!
The polishing is very good as well. The controls are fluid, no bug spotted.
Ok, maybe it's a bit frustrating to lose the log you were looking for because of a misclick 😅😅
And you took the time to do a bit of world building and write the dialog.
"I'm a snake, please accommodate" => You killed me 🤣
I guess it could be expanded into a more elaborate game. I contemplate a nice mobile game or something like this!
Good job

A Very Small WorldExtremely polished and beautiful, from the menu, different letters with different styles to all those gorgeous houses. That being said, the gameplay (as fun as it is) is a bit simplistic and nothing much changes later. Sure, the blueprints get more complicated, but you're have a lot of time and the right log will come sooner or later.
I was wondering whether this could've been like more of a puzzle game, where logs are fixed, always the same for a level, but you have to figure out how to gnaw and rotate them. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud.
Anywho, it was a visual feast and that's really what mattered to me in the end.

Higher! Faster!!That was such an incredible experience! The art was super good, the mechanics were simple and effective, its crazy how much got done in 4 days. The only real feedback I have is that it would be cool to have one more mechanic to do with the log just to add some more dynamic levels but that's a tall order for 4 days.

Cosmic ChaosAn excellent game with incredibly pleasant and detailed graphics (praise the artist), excellent voice acting and music. Addictive and interesting gameplay.

Project "Scaler"It's not everyday that a game will bring a physical smile to my face as I play, but today is one of those days. Absolutely STUNNING. the design of the houses were charming (Mr snake's was a GROOVY house I have to say :D) such good humor, music, artwork and everything felt very satisfying and polished. I set myself the challenge of not allowing myself to gnaw at any of the wood pieces which made for an interesting challenge, so maybe in the future if you wanted to expand on this even more you could have the residents have special requests like that in their letters. Also I was NOT prepared to be greeted by a full on voice acted cutscene, incredible stuff.
If I'm being EXTREMELY nitpicky, since Im playing on a trackpad it was a bit difficult sometimes to drag and drop without lifting my finger, so maybe it could be a click to pickup - click to put down kinda thing, but honestly Im just searching to find SOMETHING to give constructive criticism on, this is nothing short of a masterpiece, congrats!
