This is a game about choice, a hostile environment, and limited resources.
You must survive the Loop Desert trying to reach the city before you run out of water.
Choose wisely the right direction. You will find two bottles of water on your path to help you reach your destination, but only one can save your life.
Controls: right and left keys to move the explorer.
Very entertaining. The combination of fixed position and parallax background elements worked nicely. When I finally realized how to solve the puzzle I felt a genuine sense of accomplishment. Nicely done.
A nice piece of work! Graphics are gorgeous, love the pixel art and animation, the sense of scale and the time transitions are all very nicely done. Combined with the background sound it all creates a really great atmosphere.
Took me a few tries to figure out the game mechanic but made it to town eventually.
Once I figured out the result of which direction I chose, this game became one of my favorites so far. Awesome graphics, and the solution is so simple but not immediately obvious. Great work!
Great game with great graphics and audio! I like that it looks so simple and than you need a few attempts to figure out how the game works and the puzzle is solved.
Really cool great work! Love the day night cycle you pulled it off nicely. Your art is actually really nice and does the job well. All in all a great effort!
Nicely done. Although the player has few choice what to do, the result of the actions is the difference. Nice done. I enjoyed to have a quite 'special' game mechanics.
Cunning. Once I had figured out the mechanic though it got boring walking the whole time. Maybe other elements that changed your health status could have been cool. Or simply other animations you could make just to keep the interest high.
Really good art theme. I drooled at the color transitions between day and night. The running animation is great. Really good minimalism on the art. And nice victory dance at the end, haha.
Ha! It was fortunate I read in the comment that it was possible to beat this game, so I took the time to figure out the solution. You managed to design a clever puzzle that goes with an interesting atmosphere, congratulations.
Control of time was the crucial discovery. Once I understood that, I was led on only by the hope that whoever designed this game had left a reward for surviving so long. Lo and behold, my patience was rewarded with water. I enjoyed that initial discovery.
Wow, that's a really clever puzzle! I felt really cool when I figured it out :D
I think the graphics could have used a bit of a touch up, the main character's walk cycle was a bit weird, and he didn't seem as 'clean' as other pixel art I've seen in that style. Still thought it looked pretty good though.

Really good job!
It took me some time to understand how it worked, but I was really amazed when I did. Great job!
I like the final "whoo".
