This was a good play.  I have to say the concept of using UI elements to move your character was different, but not in a bad way.  Personally I hate keyboard controls.\n\nI feel like you payed close attention to User Experience because I felt like I could pick up the game real fast despite no obvious explanation of controls. So good job there!\n\nWhile the graphics are free assets, I still appreciate the art.   Using free assets so you can dedicate more time to development is a skill in itself.  It's one I can learn better since I tend to spend too much time designing the game instead of handling logic.\n\nOverall, what a good first game jam!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"karreg","author_uid":"1004926","time":"2020-04-22T17:27:25Z","epoch":1587576445,"modified":1587576445,"text":"The pixel is very good, but the UI is horrible :( \nIt needed 4 minutes to me to understand how to grab the items on the ground. \nThere is a lack of objectives also.

I would be curious to see where you would have ended up if you'd had more time.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Defiant Genesis","author_uid":"1200352","time":"2020-04-22T17:39:28Z","epoch":1587577168,"modified":1587577168,"text":"The game is rather short and isn't very intuitive, especially with out any sort of tutorial to tell you how to play.

But after some time of play, I feel like you could exploit this mechanic even further and make something great: maybe using upgrades to make some things like pickup automatic, discovering new features that implies more complex UI interaction, using all sorts of inputs (sliders, switches, wheels...).","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/192172-320654a77432f7b6c8c4242b004bf34d.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1h9Mf5zBb0OSx0FmHD1EiccIgoGmR9Fx2","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"61247","g_author":"1116953","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"274426","g_title":"Through the Woods","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"5","g_site2_node_id":"192172","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"192172","n_urlkey":"274426","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/through-the-woods","n_slug":"through-the-woods","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"116953","n_created":"1587152618","n_modified":"1587402818","n_version":"586646","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":192172,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":116953,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-20T17:13:38Z","created":"2020-04-17T19:43:38Z","modified":"2020-04-20T17:13:38Z","version":586646,"slug":"through-the-woods","name":"Through the Woods","body":"This is my first jam game.
