I really dig the 1-bit graphics and retro sound effects :) The controls were a bit confusing at first, I also didn't know the names of the items right away as they are only shown in the recipes, but not in the inventory.

Now I've lost my awesome progress =(\n\nI really loved the game, but it was a bit hard to pick up at first, since you only hold two items and must have two specific items to craft a bigger bag, making it hard to figure out from the get go. The world was also instantly open, so I had no clue what I was meant to be doing.

I'm a sucker for the black\/white pixel art aesthetic and this game makes great use of it. You fit an amazing amount of content in. Lots to collect and craft and the island is fun to explore. The sound effects are simple but suit the art. I think the water sound should be turned down though.
