amateur game there are some bugs / obviously there is still work to be done But you can already see the potential. 3\5
I saw this game about survival, it was free at the time of writing, and I thought of trying to play it. The game itself is a well-known survival on an island with mobs, with the extraction of resources, crafts, and so on. The game was released 4 days ago and of course there are bugs in it, but I think they will fix it. +The graphics are quite simple and beautiful +The game is not demanding on the computer at all -The main disadvantage is that there is no multiplayer, if you add it it will be a very good game for a couple of evenings - Rarely encounter mobs +Crocodile is cool +It’s cool that there is a lot in the game that is made by AI and I think it would be nice for everyone to try it Crafts, weapons, mobs are all good, but I want more variety. The game is really interesting, I hope the developer doesn’t abandon it 6.7/10

Cool pixel game, beautiful inventory animations, but the anomalies and animal attacks could use some work.
Gonna keep attempting this simple but worth a try game. I wasn't given too much of a tutorial and I can't git any animals to progress until after I died where I was presented with notes and an ax which got me jump started. I pressed esc, when I was safe to save and exit but then I couldnt find that so then I resumed and apparently I was dead, then I tried esc again and then I could exit the world, then I had to get to desk top to exit. I think there should be an exit button after the incredible intro of it being made by one person which is definetly a bragging right!

+++ goooood pixel vibes
It's the start of something beautiful. There is a lot of potential for integrating new features, like story elements, obstacles, multiplayer, etc., and the framework in place so far provides a nice zen experience. Keep going!
Fun game but needs more content
