The tasks were diverse and interesting. I really like the graphics - they have this console feel to them. The music is great too, and the sound effects fit well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The A\/K minigame could've maybe been made with the Left\/Right keys. It came very suddenly after I thought I just need the arrow keys and space. And it's pretty harsh to start again from the beginning if you fail. I mean, it kind of makes sense, but it's not fun - especially because the world is the same each time, so it's not like playing again up to this point is a challenge.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And yeah, it's too short, but what's there is really fun.

Fun, polished, graphics were great. Personally the game was a little too hardcore for me, the fact that I had to start from scratch if I messed up a tiny bit was off-putting, especially as not all of the game mechanics were explained (food\/water bars) until after I died. Had a few attempts though and still had plenty of fun. Also liked the little bits of story each day. Quite an amazing feat for the time you had.

You kept it interesting by introducing a new task each day, but maintaining a couple of maintenance tasks to manage on top of that. I can see this being expanded into a neat survival type game.
