This is a game where Taia (the character) explore Taipa. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it in time, so this is only a prototype. The objective of the game would be to explore and explore and play around. The run would end where you either die or you get to leave the planet(win).

As my first jam ever I am sad that I couldn't finish it, but I learned a lot and hope that next time I can get around to finish my entry. I had no idea how much I could do and seems I was off by quite a bit.

Nice little entry. The graphics are super sweet (especially the animations for Taia). The turning mechanics work solid. Unfortunately there is not much gameplay, but I would love to see all the objects like the crafting table in action.

You have done a great job in the art area... it's actually quite a lot done for the time period. Don't be discouraged about not finishing, there's always next time :D I hope you might try and finish the game in the future (the direction you were going seems very promising).

Gosh, it's too bad you don't have more gameplay! It looks and feel really cool I have to say.

I liked a lot the concept. I expecte to feel awkward when going to the side of the tiny planet... and it was, but not for long, got eased to walk sidewards and upwards.

I believe there is interesting ptential here, I'd recommend you to keep pushing this idea, it might got to interesting places :).
