Hello everyone,

I am working on a survival multiplayer .io game and would love to get some feedback. The game is still in a very early stage, and there are many things to improve, but I want to focus on the most important ones.

The art style is pixel art—there’s definitely room for improvement, but for now, I’ve been focusing on the core mechanics.

About the game

Survive the Stone Age in The Caveman! A challenging pixel-art survival game with side-view graphics!

Goal: Kill a mammoth in Standard Mode before the server shuts down!

The leaderboard works only for standard/competitive games and logged in users. A player receives points when they kill an animal.

If you're playing for the first time, I highly recommend reading the "Combat Moves" and "How to Play" section. Start with the LEARNING server to get familiar with the game.

The server is located in New York. I chose this location as the best option for North America, South America, and Europe. To be honest ping doesn't matter the gameplay that much (in my opinion - to be confirmed)

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the game

• What did you find annoying?
• How does the pixel art look? Does it seem low quality or inconsistent?
• Did you experience any lag while playing?
• How does the game feel in terms of balance?
• Is the difficulty fair, too easy, or too hard?
• Does the game have potential?

It's supposed to be long project and in few months I  plan to open long-living world when more content is available.

I  got some feedback via discord.  Added description to items, updated image resolution from 32 pixels to 64 - sprites should look a bit better now. 

I got some feedback on reddit:   https://www.reddit.com/r/playmygame/comments/1ikvfhp/comment/mbtgefm/?context=3

Updated  UI, How To Play and   Added few QoL changes

Bump, there were couple of updates and the game is getting more and more features

I am still looking for feedback :)
