Good game. The random generated world is a nice feature. Would love to see more events.

I like the idea of the game. I upgraded a few of the houses but then I kind of lost interest. It was mostly just grinding wood and rocks. It would have been nice to add some challenge to the game and make getting resources faster. Some sort of enemy or trap would have been nice. I liked how the planet worked and the random generation was a good idea. The collisions were kind of weird. Sometimes I would be clicking on a tree and it would mine the rock next to the tree.

Wow! The art design is really great!!! Simple but beautiful. Good job. The idea is good, but the game is too simple for me and too slow. I don't discover why interract with people :/
Maybe the upgrade of the house can improve the ressource collected.
Good job anyway!

Your game has very cute art. Very, very cute! It's beautiful! Really. Great job!

Simplistic but nice art-style, and more importantly, consistent! It really kept me intrigued to see how much a house could evolve, so I kept on harvesting for quite a while. This was definitely a fun part. If you expand on that, add more elements to evolve and polish it, I think you'll end up with a great game! Good job! :D

Hey, I liked your game quite a lot. I had a very similar idea and also made a survival game (maybe you wanna try it out). Some sounds would be cool. The graphics however fitted very well and the theme was also presented in a good way. Did the interaction with people had any impact? Overall a cool game with potential.

I like the core concept and idea, black and white style is really a nice touch, problably is a bit boring for an endless survival for it's limited interaction but it give a good 10+ minutes of game!

I love the graphics, this black and white really works well here. The gameplay is also solid, but it is very slow paced. I had to push the run button all the time, and the upgrade materials were a bit scarce around the world (I restarted a couple of times). Nevertheless a cool entry, I had fun playing the game :-)

The art is pretty good! :grin:

The good:
- The idea is overall simple and good.
- The graphics is very cute and fun.

What could have been better.
- The game mechanics is okay, but there could have been a lot more to do.
- This game really needs some music and sound effects.
- I would for this game have liked a end goal.
- I would also have liked a story, and some real dialog between the player character and the other persons on the planted.

Congrats for the great art.

I liked the simple art and the mood of the world, but there are few things to do and quite repetitive so I don't played for a long time. Perhaps there are ways to keep gameplay interesting just tweakeaning the current game variables.

Nice game. I liked the way the world rotated and the graphics were very fun. Overall, you did a really good job.

Keep it up! :thumbsup:

The concept is cool but there is too few things to do, it kinda "just" scrolling, harvesting, upgrading. It also lacks some sounds, that would have been amazing with sounds.

I really enjoyed the graphics and the animation by the way.

Great job guys !

Cool realisation and nice gameplay elements. I would have wanted to have a short tutorial before and a goal when I played. Otherwise nice entry :)

Geckoo133717 May 2017, 15:54

Interesting project which fits with the theme. First time I didnt realize what to do, but then, in the second try, I was able to play a few minutes. I had fun playing it. I like mood and aesthetic. Thumbs up. Highly rated ++

PS : it is not too hard to be rated. You should rate other projects and promote your game, writing a brief post - exactly as you did :)
