A survival game for Ludum Dare 47 - "Stuck in a loop". After a shipwreck, you've washed up on an island. To survive, you'll have to prepare during the day for the cold night and the days to come. There's limited resources, but you should be able to last until rescue arrives. Make sure you start a fire for warmth everyday, and catch some food too. If you go to sleep hungry you'll be tired the next day. Every day that goes by wears you down, it'll be harder and harder to survive.
Collect rocks and fill up the S.O.S sign so the rescue crew can find you! Controls
WASD to move. E to ignite a fire, and to place rocks. R to lay down a crab trap.
Chase a crab into a trap to get food. Use up your energy to end the day. Ending the day without fire will damage you. Ending the day without food will deplete your energy. Eating food raw (not having a fire) will damage you, but won't reduce your energy as much. Running out of health or energy ends the game. Finish the S.O.S sign to win!
Notes
This project was made for the Ludum Dare 47 compo. All code, art, audio, etc were made by me during the jam. Unfortunately a game breaking bug delayed my submission, so this will be submitted to the jam rather than the compo. I appreciate any feedback, let me know what you think and what could be improved for next time! :smile:
The systems are solid and it is a well rounded experience. However, I with it was more entertaining than going around collecting items. Still, great achievement for a solo project over the weekend! Good job!

The theme is awesome and very innovative! Great job with it
Great game!!!. The art style was amazing and the it controls really well. Just wish that I had a little more to do but nevertheless, great game for a 2 day jam
Amazing solo work my friend. The music captures such subtle emotions when playing this. Not sure how to explain but the music theme glues things together.
Hi, I really liked the cute graphics and a nice relaxing music. The gameplay itself is entertaining too, but I think I might have had some technical problems. I was not able to put down crab traps. I was able to do it only once, but then I wasn't able to use the "R" every again. Maybe check that if it was a bug or anything :)
@iluvatar Hey, thanks for playing the game and for the feedback! I tried to track down the problem but I wasn't able to recreate it. The only thing required to place down a trap is 3 wood, besides that you should be able to place as many as you want, wherever you want. I'll be on the lookout though, thanks again!
Amazing work man! I loved the game and how the graphics fit with it really well. Everything feels really polished and smooth. The audio also fits in nicely. I will be keeping this one in mind when I get bored in class. Good work!!!
Overall solid game, good music, good art, easy to understand. Quite relaxing late at night actually. Could have used some extra challenge, perhaps getting hurt if you touch the crabs.
So nice ! Simple game but really funny ! May be it could have been usefull to have a button in a menu to restart the game once you are dead ! Congratulation !
The art looks nice, and the sound fits the game well. Running around collecting things did get a bit boring after a while, but I really liked chasing the crabs into traps.
nice simple game. I like the SOS sign, it's satisfying to complete it :) the crab hunting could be better, now it depends more on luck than skill (maybe the cages could be pickable?)...

Graphics are great and pleasing to the eye
Congratulation !
It took me a while to realize that the energy meter was based on walk distance and not on time. I was much more strategic the 2nd time. ;)
Well done! A nice, complete experience! Charming!
