So... anyone dares to escape AND survive? :)

Man the screen sure is busy with stuff. Maybe a bit too much. I ran around for a while collecting things but never figured out any recipes. Perhaps if you could provide maybe one or two recipes to start out? I really like the art style for the game. It reminds me of attack of the paper zombies (probably because of the graph paper).

Very cool looking game, I only wish I could figure out how to win. And that damn cheetah! It would be nice if we had a little more direction of what to do.

Too much stuff on the screen and if a animal hunts me im doomed

The recipe system totally killed the game for me. I tried several items, and then stick and stone, and it told me that "I have to invent something else first". But the graphics and the gameplay are very interesting.

The Windows link goes to Recipe.txt now...?

Sorry for the link, fixed (I really don't know how it got there, must be lingering aftereffects of the sleep deprivation)

Very well done, lots of depth. Perhaps a little oversaturated with objects when you first get into it. Combat is a bit clunky and collisions are "weird". I escaped the easy way :)

Great idea and graphics style, but I couldn't make any recipe.

I really like the charming, animated-notebook-paper feel of the game. There's just too much going on though, both in terms of gameplay and especially what's on the screen! The same game with a sparser (or more spaced-out) level probably would have been more fun. Per-pixel collisions probably would've helped a boatload as well.

You added color to some things, which was cool, but it seemed pretty random as to what had color and I felt like there needed to be more (or less). I'd have expected what was colored to fit into a category. Like, just the HUD has color or HUD stuff and items you can pick up are colored, background and animals are not (or something).

The collisions just seemed - weird. When so many trees and bushes and junk were overlapping and almost-overlapping on the screen, figuring out were you could walk was a bit of a guessing game.

I managed to invent a firestarter but that's it. Despite having _plenty_ of flammable inventory and environment, I was just told there was nothing to set on fire, which was quite frustrating.
Actually after writing that I realized I needed to go back and BUILD the firestarter. So I did. I had to get more rocks (guess I used up the ones I had on a non-functional prototype?) and was told "now I can build fire." What'd that do? I don't see "Fire" on the build menu. Where's my fire!?

Ultimately, this game shows promise. It's innovative. If it were simpler and easier to get into, and had sound, I'd like it more. Picking up stuff you can find on a deserted island and combining them to build inventions that ultimately lead to your escape (I assume) has got to be the best integration of theme I've seen so far. 5* there.

+1 To this

yeah - bananas and water hole... I planned to remove it later and redraw those, because it IS inconsistent and I've done it only in an attempt to improve visibility, but I've planned a lot of things :)
I've already fixed the most stupid things for the postcompo version, color changing is one of the stuff which remains to be done.

You could have advantage of the graphic style by coloring the more important items (animals, food, water, etc). It's pretty, but there's just too much going on in a very small space (this hasn't got so much to do with the graphics, though. There should be a big space only with trees and rocks and only a few pick-ups, but have 40 different objects on the screen while a lot of them moving around, it just overwhelms the player. You need to introduce things bit by bit. The mixed keyboard-mouse controls aren't very good, either. I recommend using the mouse for attack and picking up stuff, etc.

I don't understand why the Firestarter can be made with 2 small rocks but not 2 big rocks... Also, the game sort of crashed when I tried to make something. Again, the crafting system is kind of confusing, since it's all thrown at you at the same time.

Overall, it has potential but needs a lot of work to be fun.

i really liked the graphics, but i'm mad gay for anything "hand drawn" looking. i couldn't really figure much of the game out beyond trial and error. pretty hectic.

I am sorry, but I am not going to install Mono for GNU/Linux just to play a game… Such a shame, because it looks nice on screenshots :-)
