Unfortunately I did not know how to play this.  I ran in circles and tried hitting every button but nothing seemed to work.  The graphics are amazing and the music was super fun.  Keep at it!  If you make more games in the future remember that a tutorial or brief window with the controls is incredibly important.  Even if you just have them as part of the environment.  Look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future.

Hi! Yes, you are absolutely right! Next time we'll try to make at least a windows with the controlls. Thanks for the feedback!
However, have you seen the description of the controls on page of the game? Or does it not work in the game?

I saw them after I played it.  I tend to not view the game page too closely because I try to just get into the game.  I will do that more in the future.

But you're right, the game itself should tell you how to play it

Harder than the cute graphics would let me think so. Simple and efficient gameplay, GG

Graphics are pretty cool. The dialogue past a little quick and I understand a bit later that it was left click to fire ^^' anyway i had fun and theme and object implementation are so far my favorit for the moment !

This was quite fun and the graphics were quite charming. It was quite unlucky to get a digging spot close to the edge and have a monster spawn next to you!

Dude, that's cool. But training is really lacking. The graphics are very beautiful and fun to play, honestly stuck for 15 minutes. Good luck with your next projects!

Thank you! Glad to hear that you liked our game!

There is not enough training, otherwise I could only understand that the E button is doing something next to the truffle. But that's all. There is some variety in the screenshots, but I just don’t understand how to play (Very cool graphics, there is also music in the background. Therefore, it’s a pity that I can’t fully play.

Yeah, you are right. Thanks for your remarks.
