Oh this is an amazing game! It works very well for the theme and focus and is a lot of fun to play. The only issues I sort of have is that I don't think I ever saw the tutorial text explain the apples, and that on what I believe were levels 3 and 4, I slept only to spawn with monsters right at the campfire. That last one could be simplified by making sure the monsters aren't right there at the start of the level, or giving a little screen between levels for the player to click when they're really ready for the next level. Like maybe it's just an image of the character sleeping, but it could also give you a moment to not only take a breather between levels, but potentially also see what equipment you have since I was very glad to see the items you gathered carried over into the next level.

I really enjoyed the fact that the night got darker as you went on, making it harder to see so you would be more likely to move on to the next level. The light around the player could have been a little bigger, maybe less of a static circle and maybe more it's a light that fades a little as it gets further out, but it works as is. Plus the fact that later in the night becomes a little more of a struggle means you can't as easily just stick to an easy level to hunt monsters and grab plenty of materials so you can grind your way to be stronger to make later levels easy. 

Lastly, it might have been nice to make the game fullscreenable. I've got a computer with high enough resolution that game game took up a little more than a ninth of my screen. It was still absolutely playable, but it would be nice to resize the game. (I saw you made in in game maker, so it's pretty easy to make it resizable, it's just hidden in a menu that I know I had to look up to find for mine)

Anyway, I really hope to see you potentially add more to this game as it's really good! definitely one of my favorites from the jam I've seen.

Small addition, love the fact that coming here to leave a comment or rate it has the name of the page being 'rate this stick i found' which makes the title even better. yes I would love to rate the stick. that sure is a ten out of ten stick. strong and sturdy but easy to swing.

Great implementation of the jam focus. All applications of the stick are both useful and easy to use. The day/night mechanic works well, making it very difficult to stay up too late. The graphics and sound work well together to create a suitable atmosphere.

The circle of light around the character at night should be a little broader, I think. When using the stick as a compass, I can't even see the end of the stick.  

The toolbar at the bottom looks somewhat squished. 

The hero stands out against the background, of course, but would look more interesting with a little bit of color.

I love the graphic design, but unfortunately it is to hard to play without an qwerty keyboard ;-(

Awesome game! I found the different uses for the stick to be really inventive and original. The night cycle was well implemented, though I kept waiting for some big monster to pop out at night. I was too much of a chicken to stay out past dark and see what happened lol anyway, excellent work :)

Stick it to heaven , now This stick I found , is there's a trend here that I'm missing related to sticks and beating up stuff with sticks? 

• anyways you two made an excellent game your artsyle is incredible      Graphics/Animations 5/5
• the gameplay is fun and addictive and I actually like survival games like this reminds me of "Don't starve" and at some point "dayz" even tho they're entirely the same but I felt like the game was too intense that I compared it to that Fun/Design 5/5
• the sfx you used are incredible and fitting           Music/Sound 5/5
• there's alot of effort and love that went into the making of this game
• can't believe you guys to make this game the approach to the theme was unique and your approach to the focus was unique aswell     theme/limitation 5/5
• didn't really encounter alot of bugs or glitches however the game was a bit too difficult after the second day but thats fine Technical implementation 5/5

It was a fun experience.

I like the interpretation of a child imagining their stick with multiple uses.

The music was also very good, and I like the scribbly design of everything.

The art style is really fun - movement and combat too!

Deserves the 🥇 

A great game! I only made it to night 4 but I still love the mechanics and the setting! 

I dont know how you got this finished in the deadline. This is amazing! deserves the win in my opinion. Great game!

awesome game!!!!  

Just played this, and let me tell you, this is a banger! You guys truly went above and beyond with the theme, multi-use. The graphics, the sound and the simple gameplay. truly delightful. 

I was a bit lost at first because I was reading the text on the top portion of the screen, and I did try using my stick as an axe, but man...little did I know I had an array of tools with this skinny fellow!
I did find the tree chopping mechanic a bit non-intuitive, and a bit inaccurate at times,  unless you understood the same stick is used for everything else. Once it clicked I found it genius!

I think the truly one and only biggest offender was the lack of fullscreen here. I was clicking outside the game window constly, and this was a bit too sad. I must ask...y U no fullscreen mang?

Truly one of the heavy hitters of this jam. Wish I had not decided to play this game so late, and left it for tomorrow to stream it along with the other games.

Great job guys!

Edit: Another thing I forgot to mention, I was never able to go to the next night...where was the tent? i never found it. I''ll give thi sa go tomorrow again on stream. Hope to see you guys there!
treblig_punisher is my twitch page :D

This made me feel like I was playing Don't Starve, I liked the survival aspect and having to adventure out  into the woods to keep your fire going. The art style felt like a coloring book and it was all consistent throughout the game. The only change is maybe lower the difficulty curve, it got super crazy by the third level/day. Also I couldn't full screen the game, I'm not sure if I missed an option or if the game is just windowed.

Still liked this entry and I hope you take the game further!

Even though mechanically you're just switching to different tools, thematically making all of them the same tool is really neat idea!
At first I thought the magic wand was gonna be the best for dealing with enemies, but once the enemies themselves started throwing projectiles, the sword became way better because it destroyed the enemies projectiles way more reliably.
I didn't like how when I get enough green coins to get an upgrade I'm forced to stop moving and choose the upgrade while all the enemies get to keep attacking. The game should pause when choosing what upgrade to get.
At the end, the game crashed when transitioning from level 8 to level 9, but despite that I enjoyed my time whacking all the different enemies. Nicely done!

Art style and premise suits well, feels like a kid just imagining everything. Enjoyed it thoroughly

A very nice little game. The theme is really well implemented in a fun way and the art style and music work really well. I also like the idea of how easily the stick is expandable with more tools in theory! Some of the hitboxes were a bit wonky or at least felt like it, mainly the projectiles and sometimes i felt like i was too close to one side of the screen, especially once there were ranged enemies. I really enjoyed the game though and played it for several levels, well done :)
