This is my first Ludum Dare entry. Can you save the lonely castaway from starvation? HTML5 game with Flash for sound, keyboard controls. Should work anywhere. IE<9 your mileage may vary.
I died once, and completed it on my second try. I didn't get the hunger/water/energy mechanic at first. It seems like you only regain energy if you move around?
I thought this was pretty fun, even though it was pretty simple.
"It seems like you only regain energy if you move around?"
I got so used to dancing around the fire that I forgot it was a bug and never fixed it. Whoops!
The weirdness of the voice was enhanced by the fact that my kids were sleeping in the next room and I did the sounds at the end when I was pretty exhausted.
Love the mechanics. Well balanced, great that you can understand what to do but still need to do it efficiently enough to survive. Design is very elegant, deserves another pass of polish after the compo!
Haha we really did almost make the same game. I absolutely love the voices and the mechanics are very solidly implemented. My only gripe is that you need to move around constantly to recover stamina but that wasn't to much a problem at all. Overall very nice game, congrats. :)
No, it was a good LOL. The voice cracks me up every time. And... I must suck because I can't seem to make a fishing pole at all. Fun little game with lots of charm! This was refreshing.
I think it's a good game. The theme was shown well, I thought the audio was quite corny :P and I had to keep trying to win, although I wasn't able to before boredom set in. It could look better and the gameplay was there, but it felt like it was still in production.
Solid little game. It's a little strange that your energy goes down when walking over logs, even when you aren't dragging them. Also, the fire dancing was weird, but not really much of a problem.
