The original was going to be in 2d and movement is programmed for 2d. But as your see, it evolved into 3d. :s\rOh well, we live and we learn.

Congrats on your first entry!\r\rI think the graphics really stand out in this game, because they are pragmatic and do the job well. It was very hard to tell how far away the lake was (and it was more like a giant blue blob?). I was also confused by the marine coyotes.\r\rPerhaps a little terrain would help spice things up, as well as allowing you an easier way to show where the lake is. Check it out, really nice terrain tools are built into Unity.\r\rIn any case, good work. I look forward to seeing you around in the future."},{"author_name":"Diptoman","author_uid":"25325","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 8:33am","epoch":1387355280,"text":"Well this was pretty nice to play. The music volume was a bit too low, I think? Nice graphics, the controls were a bit stiff, but okay. And man, the wells were too sparse and most of the time I had no idea in which direction to find them. And OH, once I turned around and the the sheer number of those little coyotes was overwhelming xD"},{"author_name":"RhysD","author_uid":"30493","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 1:09pm","epoch":1387371840,"text":"Good job, I made it to the lake!"},{"author_name":"Thecoolestnerdguys","author_uid":"17792","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 3:05pm","epoch":1387378800,"text":"I agree with most of the stuff everyone else said:\r - The wells are too sparse\r - The coyotes look cute\r - It's a little disorientating navigating in a desert without reference points.\r - The music volume is too low.\r - This game is pretty fun!\r\rOverall 4\/5!"},{"author_name":"LoneStranger","author_uid":"203","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 6:22am","epoch":1387433820,"text":"Not very challenging.
