Kudos for getting a co-op game going! Unfortunately, I didn't get to take advantage, so I only played single player. I liked having to hunt for the strange creatures with the seeds and the farming seemed pretty good in between battles with the spiders. I do wish the day/night cycle was a little longer because I didn't have much time to do farming in between fights. Though, I assume that would be solved if I had a second player with me. The characters and art overall had a charm to them. I especially love that cover image where they all look freaked out.

Thanks so much for trying it, and for your kind words! I personally like playing co-op even by myself. One character can go exploring while the other character stays behind to work the farm and protect the baby from the eyespiders.
I experimented with different lengths for the day/night cycle, but in the end I stuck with a very short cycle because there isn't too much to do during a day, but you need a certain number of days to grow your crops. This is definitely something that would require very serious experimentation in a commercial ganr.
