I really enjoyed this one! Trading animals for more room on the raft or supplies made for tough decisions, and I love how different animals can interact with each other (Like how the bear would eat smaller animals). I also liked planning out a route on the map. I do think it should be a little more clear which map points are connected to each other, even before you reach them. I once ran myself into a dead end, and had to move back a single time, causing me to get stuck in the storm the whole way through. All in all, the game fits the jam theme perfectly!

Thanks for the feedback and kind words! Iām glad you found the decisions tough! It was my major design goal here.
Thereās a lot I wish I couldāve improved about the map. Thereās a speed / weight system thatās supposed to let you dump your animals overboard to go farther, but itās never explained and not tuned enough to make a difference even if it was. For next time!
