Theme Challenge!
I overlapped with Wind, Alien Life and Branches but the main goal was to make a surreal first person crafting game. Hope you enjoy it!

Going for surreal first person was a surreal experience since I didn't even understand the alien on the other island yet. Nice job making an odd and new biome that isn't a forest like most other crafting games are.

Wow! this game was weird, but in the best way! The title screen, the stars, the weird looking water, the horrifying alien noises, the green bean on legs. It was so fun to explore and see what kindof crazy alien life was here. I ended up not lasting too long, but I had a lot of fun.

Overall this is probably the most interesting game of the jam, very cool!

That was certainly surreal, but in a very, very good way. Despite it being a bit lacking I was absolutely enthralled by what was going on here.


Excellent work!

Thanks!

Idk how far you got but there's actually quite a bit of content in there -- it's too difficult to get the ball rolling though and I think it does come off as lacking until you figure out a couple of not so obvious things.

Someday I'll come back and tighten this game up. Anyway thanks for playing!

That is an awesome idea. I love the slight creepiness of this game.

The controls are a little bit tricky and I couldn't figure out much stuff to craft. A little bit of in-game explanation would be great.

Also I like the audio environment, it really adds to the surreal feeling.

Yes, explanation would probably be good and I think the size of the environment makes it a little difficult to find all the crafting components. There'll be an updated version in the near future (not for jam purposes, obviously). Thanks for checking it out!
