There's two mouse cursors! How confuzzling.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, was kind of confusing to figure out how to chop trees. Didn't realize there was a slider on the right hand side showing that the action was being performed, so I kept clicking on stuff expecting things to happen. Also didn't realize the mouse wheel did anything, or that the crafting screen could scroll either except by accident. So, some more instructions would be appreciated. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>No position indicator on minimap (or indication of what's there) sucks a bit? The map also seems a bit hueg for what the game is (definitely not a tiny world). As an ld entry, it could have been smaller, so people could finish it faster and get the gist of the game. Map generation looks fairly natural. Couldn't figure out where the iron ore was, so I didn't build a boat and win. :( Cool stuff, though."},{"author_name":"Darkwater","author_uid":"11248","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 8:25pm","epoch":1335385200,"text":"I couldn't add sound because I didn't have enough time. (Also, I haven't worked with sound before with this framework, so I had to figure that out, too.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And about the iron? The map generates 50-80 iron ores and you could previously craft 2 bars with 2 ores... Fuuuu...\r<br\/>I'll change that and re-upload right away.

The controls are smooth, I specially liked the transition to the crafting menu by sending the mouse to the right hand side.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That said, as others mentioned, the world is a bit too huge, which, given the time for rating and playing games in LD, makes it a bit off putting -- things need to happen a bit faster :-) The two mouse cursors is a bit strange - maybe instead of a mouse cursor, you should have used a square silhouette to indicate the action square?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the game anyway!"},{"author_name":"robcozzens","author_uid":"10944","time":"May 11, 2012 @ 5:14am","epoch":1336712940,"text":"I would try it if you had a Web or OSX version."},{"author_name":"Darkwater","author_uid":"11248","time":"May 11, 2012 @ 11:55am","epoch":1336737000,"text":"You can run the source with www.love2d.org"},{"author_name":"FireSlash","author_uid":"3130","time":"May 13, 2012 @ 7:05pm","epoch":1336935600,"text":"Neat little game.

The all-in-one .exe requires no other files, but seems suspicious because it has no publisher signed to it. THe .zip looks safe, but ofcourse they both are.\r\n2. This is a fixed version.
