1sland is a game where you are stranded on a desert island, with only 1 tool.
The tool is chosen by random and they all work a bit differently! Use what you got to hunt for food, cook it and build a boat for your escape! All in a retro crazy gamish style.
Unity3d, in 2d. WSAD to move, mouse to use tool. Number keys to count sheep when you sleep. Follow onscreen instructions and have fun!
I didn't really understand the controls or how to execute the goals, but what I can tell you is that those turkey-wanna-be birds were incredibly overpowered. Don't they know that a stone is supposed to take down two birds?
Moving the mouse so fast is too hard, If you don't move it super fast, you die (MY ARM IS FRUSTRATED). The tool wasn't in the same place as my mouse and I was trying to figure out if I should use the mouse or the tool (the tool was an inch down and an inch to the left from the mouse). Cool game though. Good job :)
I didn't make a quarter of a boat (I reached about 22.5%), and I felt I had enough. The game is repetitive. Well, I guess you know it. It goes too fast, so I have no time to understand the game. The first time I played I was like "OMG why did I just die?" How could I know birds deal damage? OK, I sleep for the first time. I see one sheep, so I press 1. I get a heart, I guess that means I'm right. I see another sheep. That's two sheep total, so I press 2. What, I'm wrong? OK, so I don't need to count total. But if I didn't see your gif, I think I wouldn't know what to do at all. I feel that's a negative feedback, so I should tell something good... Unlockables? Nice, you got time to implement unlockables. Hmm... graphics look good, too. What, tools work diffirently? Good, some variety. You can move while sleeping. I think you forgot to disable it.

I really liked the concept of being stranded on an island. I wish there was some more feedback on whether I was doing the right thing. For instance, sometimes I didn't know if I was supposed to be moving the mouse or clicking the mouse button.
Didnt quite understand how to play the game, but I do like it :) I included it in part 7 of my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/1dYHR5aknGc

But a little tiring... a mouse is definitely not the right tool to this task.
Always remember: If life gives you a rubber duck, demand to see life's manager and burn their hose down with rubber ducks! XD
