Visually, this was amazing. I thought pretty much all of the assets were top-notch and the game generally seemed like it could be a final shipped product.
Mechanically, I probably don’t need to tread too much on the territory already mentioned by others, but me the fact that there wasn’t a clear long-term goal (other than just exploring I guess?) made me feel like even when I was successful I didn’t really know why I cared. I was also thrown off by the fact that some I could go back to islands but it didn’t seem, event-wise, like I was revisiting somewhere I had been before. I was kind of expecting that the point was to go back and figure out what was going on at each island, but that never panned out.
I did really like the core gameplay loop, though, I think it just needed some additional context and feeling of progression.
The world here is great, though, and I’m would love to see a more complete version of this game. Great job!
