This has good, spooky potential! Your art style is also really clean. I'll mirror the suggestion about splitting the actions into multiple buttons, it got a bit stressful to need to stop building a bridge to switch controls. But maybe you were going for stress! Either way, congrats on a successful jam!

There's a lot to like about this game. The aesthetic is fantastic, and the concept is very cleanly executed. The core bridging mechanic is also excellent! A small suggestion I would make, though, is to just remove the "two modes" and replace them with unique controls, i.e. chop on LMB and bridge on RMB. All of my other feedback is already echoed in the comments, but I did enjoy my time with your game!

Developer

Thank you! You make a good point about the controls. I'm glad you liked it!

Really enjoyed this game, I think it has a ton of potential! The core gameplay loop is solid, it was fun trying to learn how to estimate how much wood I'd need to get to a new island, and the atmosphere is a great compliment to that. If you were to keep developing this I'd recommend adding an end goal, as well as making each trip to gather wood more dangerous so you really have to be confident you can reach the next island without getting trapped! For this game jam though I think this is a solid entry, great job!

Developer

I'm glad you like it, and those are great ideas!

It’s got a super cute and appealing vibe. The idea of manually building the bridge is just awesome. The game feels really well-polished overall. I only kinda miss some sound effects that would’ve added a lot, but I get it—the Jam time was tight, I’ve been there. Good luck!

Thanks! Yeah, I wish I had time to add music or sound effects, but I often end up leaving the audio to the last minute and then run out of time.

Really enjoyed your game! 

If you get time, I’d love your feedback on my game too!

Great game! The idea is really interesting! Well done!

Developer

Thank you!

Great game! Core gameplay loop is addicting and art makes great eerie  atmosphere. The only thing I can add is perhaps core mechanic around bridges needs some polish. Seeing trees grow on my bridge was funny, but then I fell off the bridge and began floating on water.

I'll be looking forward for a expanded version after jam!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, sometimes the player ends up in the water...whoops!

I had some fun with this one. It's nice and bite-sized with a simple game loop and an arcade-like feel with going for the highest score. My current record is 1367m. I'd be interested to see how this could be expanded further.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

neat idea! there's a lot you could add to the gameplay of this, but I think you have a decent start going here for a potentially fuller game later!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Developer

Thank you!

Fun idea, but I can’t fight back.

Developer

You aren't meant to be able to fight the enemies. The goal is to avoid them by building out bridges so you can sneak past them to other islands. But thanks for playing!
