Island Survivor by TC5550



The goal is to leave the island by building a raft. Find items to your raft on the island. These items can be crafted into the raft. Eat berries and mushrooms so you won't starve. Be prepared with a fire and a sword before the night falls.
Controls:
Use W, A, S and D to move the player. Use E and R to pickup and place items. E can also be used to eat food, chop down trees and attack with the sword. Use the number keys or the scroll wheel to select items in your inventory.

For me, it would feel best if I could cycle between items with Q and E for example and use with F.
The game gets a little boring after a while, but that's understandable given the time constraints. This is a very solid prototype that I can see getting made into a small game.
All in all the gameplay was pretty fun :)
I also loved the aesthetics and the sword animation slicing through the player like a hot knife through butter would have gained you some stars in humor, if you had opted into this category.

Keep going boys
My biggest complaint is probably the lack of music in-game, that would have improved the mood a lot!
Graphics are nice, day night cycle too. You can abuse spawn rates. Overall good game.
I picked up the fireplace by mistake several times, maybe there could have been a different key for that or maybe player shouldn't be allowed to pick it up, adding more difficulty. I got the raft built after the first night, but I'd love to play an extended version of this game.
I managed to finish it without any confusion :wink:

### Here is a list of bugs I stumbled upon:
* You can walk on trees & water
* Sometimes objects can spawn on trees (see screenshot below)
* You can't fight monsters near a bonfire, because then you pick it up
* When the item's count goes to 0, I think it should be deleted because otherwise it's just taking up space in the inventory
