This is my LD45 submission.
It's a survival game where you're stranded on an island. You have to gather resources to survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies. Crafting recipes and the controls are explained on the help screen.

EDIT: First of all, the recipe for arrows is WRONG! I changed it last second and forgot to update the help screen. It only requires one of each. Secondly, the timelapse video for this game's development is OUT NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqwKaeI15C0 enjoy.

So I like the graphics. Few notes. Player speed seems to be connected to window size. I spawned in a bush thing the first time I tried to play. And I can seem to interact with anything and not sure why.

Graphics are great and vibrant, and the sound design is good too. The island seems to be procedurally generated, and is fun to explore. Unfortunately, right now it seems I can't progress in the game, as I can't gather resources, so I guess that's a bug. Anyway, my first impression was positive! :D

@wie that's strange, can you not break tiles? pick up items?

Same: I can't break any tiles or gather resources.

The ground graphics seem to clash next to eachother. Try adding in some gradients to smooth it out :)

Game mostly worked for me. I found the crafting interface a bit difficult to use, and it seems like the arrow recipe will just craft a bow instead, which was sad. Breaking stuff seems to work inconsistently, I"m not sure why.

The enemies seem pretty hard to attack safely. However, they do get stuck in walls pretty easily.

I like the music.

@honey-pony oof, I think it's because it mostly involves the same ingredients. It worked fine for me. Thanks for playing and sharing feedback! EDIT: dang, I must've broken it during a last minute change to the crafting system. that sucks. EDIT 2: I changed the recipe for arrows. It only requires 1 of each. I forgot to update the help screen. Sigh...

Thats a pity. The screens timelapse look interesting but I can't get it to run:
