About:

The faith of your tribe is on to you. Hunt wild animals with your spear to provide food nessecary for its survival. Keep number of your tribesmen in ballance, because each one is an another mouth to feed. Without food they'll start dying and this can lead to the fast fall of the tribe. Each day is a new challenge.

How long can your tribe survive?!

Controls:

WASD - walking

Mouse Movement - targeting the spear

LMB - throw spear

Rules:

On each day you must gather food for all of your tribesmen. Information about time of the day and gathered food is shown on the top bars on the HUD.

The more food you gather, the more tribesman you'll feed. If you'll gather more food than needed, your tribe will grow. If you won't have enough food for everyone, some tribesmen'll die and you'll lose one of your lives.

Try to keep your lives as long as you can.

Amazing graphics and sound! I like the pace of the game and the fact that you need to think your and try to anticipate the animals' movments, especially the smaller ones. Keep up the good work :).

Great art. Very cool. The idea of being painted on a cave's wall is awsome. Really neat idea. Good job!

This was very pleasant to play! Some of the UI was confusing and it took me a while to figure it out, but once I did, it was a lot of fun!

I love its aesthetics and the mood it sets. I think that it would be nice if your tribesmen would be able to come to hunt with you to hunt bigger animals. I would love to see a more developed idea. Nice work!!

Great game, music and art work so well, reminds me of a game I saw from Ludum Dare 33 "The Mammoth: A Cave Painting". Good Job

I liked a lot the art of the game. Good job! I dont understanded where is the cave. If you put something to mark wherer or if you start the game on the cave help the player to locate. Good job.

Gorgeous entry you have here.
Loved the aesthetics, the music was on point. I don't know if I would've added some sound effects to aid gameplay but it looks pretty great nonetheless.
I think I would've changed some stuff, like the spear speed and stuff like that, but that's my personal preference, the game feels really solid.

I truly enjoyed this game! Great pacing, mood and connection to the theme :tada: You could really feel the weight on your shoulders! Couldn't say that I understood the logic of the meat-o-meter though, or it's exact correlation with the tribe.

I like it a lot! Beautiful and fun!

Took me a while to understand the meaning of the paintings at the end of each level, but well, it fits the concept perfectly.

Great job!

Amazing visuals and fun gameplay!
Mood and music felt tied together and made for a novel and good play experience.
If anything though, I had some difficulty understanding my objective at first, a tutorial or something similar might be good.

The game is incredibly climatic, probably because of great graphics. Whole hunting system is really well done. Everything seems to be in correct place. GJ :)

This games visuals are so beautiful, I love the mood. It's a bit of a challenge to figure out the throwing mechanic, but I managed to master it soon enough. As someone in the comment section already mentioned, I would really love to see my tribe coming to hunt with me perhaps in some sort of a separate level where we bring down the mammoth! Great job!
