How does your game fit the theme?
Silent Harbor incorporates the "Calm before the storm" theme, where you, the newly appointed Lighthouse Keeper, gather resources and maintain health during the peaceful days, while bracing for the storm that comes at night
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Holy cow I freaking loved this!! The animations and the particles are soooo nice it made me love doing anything in this game! I do feel like I regretted building so many bridges on day 1 since I had to walk so much the later days after using all the wood already haha but it was still a fun time. Really really loved the animation and polish, amazing job!!
I like it, it's very polished. I think a compass or a map that shows the direction the lighthouse is in would be nice. Another thing I'd like to see is an alternative way to use rocks, you need wood to get to other islands, but rocks are only ever used to repair the lighthouse.
Consistently good pretty much everywhere. Sorta reminds me of Forager a little bit
I really like the visuals, music and sfx, everything just feels right. Also the story is simple, but fits the theme well.
Just wow, polish is actually crazy. Artist has gone mad, music is good too. Concept and game design is also top.
For some reason, I got a well/food box notification that it's drained, the day before it happened.
But everything else worked perfectly!
Great cozy game, enjoyed every second of it!
Great art and music. Really enjoyed it. The stakes were high for me. Like build a bridge while you are able to cause if you use the wood now you wont be able to build a bridge and lose potential resources next run. Pretty challenging.
Kudos!!
cute game, great art style and mechanics. The addition of a new resource, like the stone, as you progress make it feel pretty organic
Thie game is amazing! The graphics, audio, everything fit perfectly together, and it's so polished! I like that it's very cutesy and calming but still gets a bit stressful once you start running out of food and water. Love the little details such as fish swimming around in the water. A tiny thing you could add is maybe some messaging during the storm because I wasn't sure if I had to wait for something or could just skip it.
I absolutely LOVE this game!!! I was totally immersed and sad that it ended after 3 days haha. I love that the game progression really gets to you when you realize that the trees don't regrow like they typically do in video games, and your well and food supplies run out. In the beginning, I was taking my leisurely time exploring various islands and building bridges, but soon I realized that took a toll on not only my hunger and thirst but also the time, so I quickly changed my strategy and just greedily grabbed rocks and trees lol. Luckily, I didn't ever have to go back to grab any supplies form the lighthouse since I had built so many bridges already. The gameplay mechanic here is so unique and I think there should be a whole genre of games like this! Also, the music pairs so well with the game and the art is so cute!! If I really had to offer a suggestion to this perfect game, maybe there could be some varied messages at the end of the day to spice things up a bit so I can be motivated each day. Overall though, I am sooo impressed by the polish and the concept! Such an amazing game!! (I recommended all my teammates to play too haha)
I am a little surprised how many people though "lighthouse" as the ideal location for this theme.
The art was so cute, there was a bit of stress of course for a challenge and the game poses some interesting choices, building bridges is very much needed and im glad i didnt waste my wood, the last twist of your water and berries running out scares me a lot and barely got out of the last stage lol
Such a well made game, great job!
Loooove the art, idk why but it feels really cozy to me to go grab some tree / berries / water and walk around ! I would love to have a mini map to know a bit better where I was, other than that I loved it !
I loved the art for this game, makes for a really pretty and relaxing vibe and atmosphere. The gameplay loop is simple yet satisfying. I liked the concept of having a choice to use wood to make bridges to get more wood or to take the wood you have directly to the lighthouse, nice design there!
Awesome game. Simple and interesting and very pretty. The music is nice.
I was able to survive the first night, I got a window that said it was the first night of 3 and that I had to press the space bar to play further. I pressed it, but I was thrown back to the main menu and there was no way to continue the game:(
This is such a cool and unique game! I love the art and music, the gameplay is fun and intuitive, and I really like the speed-up-time feature. Great work!
