I made a video of your game. It's at the 5:06 mark of this video.
thank you for playing it, it's always great to have people play it on video! Always super helpful feedback!
Game was easy once I knew where to go, but I like your take on the game jam's theme.
It took me several runs to understand where to go, but after that it got easy to just chop ahead and put wood behind when monsters were coming near. Good visuals and music too.
What a neat little game! Loved the simplistic style and the tension of those creatures eating away the forest. I enjoyed it! Keep it up! <3
i love the game over splash art + color palette you chose for this 10/10
Nice concept, also with the feature of blocking ghosts off. I liked it.
The ghosts seem a little bit slow though so after some seconds you wont see any for the rest. I would make them a little bit faster to be more of a threat. I also noticed that their hitbox seems a little bit big.
Thank you for the kind words, and I do want to continue working on the balance of the game! ill also shrink their hitboxes, they are pretty large xD
Really fun concept, graphics reminded me of Dwarf Fortress a bit for some reason. Great stuff!
Thanks for playing it and for that awesome complement! Ive yet to play Dwarf Fortress but its on my list of things to play before i die xD
I didn't do very well at the game but overall I gave it high marks. I loved the story, the graphics and the atmosphere. The music reminded me of old SEGA games.
Great work!
Thanks for playing and for the encouraging words!
i love the color palette and the art is quite nice :) i didn't get to see much of the enemies tho, but a fun concept nontheless
Yeah, i feel like you are able to cut down the trees to quick for the monsters to catch up, in future iterations i need to make sure its a bit more balanced. Thanks for playing! : )
I like the general mechanic here, and I would encourage you to keep working on this after the jam and flesh it out some more. I think there could be something really fun with some better animation, more intricate level design, and a little polish. But there's something really appealing about some of the core pixel art, the palette, and the central mechanic. Oh, nice game over screen too!
Thank you for the encouragement, im planning on updating some stuff in the course of the voting, im shooting for an update after the competition is over!
I like the concept but found holding up and mashing the spacebar meant I never even saw an enemy on the screen before making it to the truck. The sprites and colors are great and I like the music.
Yeah i need to find some balance with how fast the enemies move vs how fast you can cut wood. Im gonna keep working on that, thanks for playing!
cool! it's pretty straightforward and not that scary, but I like the color palette and aesthetic
Thank you for giving the game a try! Future updates ill try to see if i can up the tension a bit!
Thanks! yeah i need to add a little bit more variety in the cutting wood and all that, thanks for giving the game a try!
Nice one, simple game with easy mechanics. Dropping wood is kinda unnecessary now, maybe you could set a state, where I have to use this feature of the game as well as chopping wood. The truck is lovely. GG.
Thanks for playing, yeah I want to add an enemy that does pathfinding, so that way something is always chasing you more closely, so that way you have to drop more wood.
Nice idea!
Unique theme, Love the colour scheme and pixel art, satisfying gameplay loop too... loved it !
Thank you for playing the game and for the kind words!
