and can then stop everthing.You can do it with:
Time.timeScale = 0;//To stop the time
Time.timeScale = 1;//To continue the time
I got bored at day 3 though. so I just wondered to the left to see how big is the map lol...
I think it needs something else going on IDK...
and with ability to plant trees I think you can play forever without dying?
To improve this game, I would consider some more player feedback when you stoke the fire or pickup a log would be helpful also. At night, consider making the UI's health and wood numbers white (but keep them black at daytime as that worked really well). Some more mechanics (and music) would spice things up, like crafting weapons to take on enemies or whatever would suit your game.
Overall, this is a very good entry that fits the theme well. It feels unique and well crafted. The main mechanic works well and keeps you playing. All aspects work really well together and I'm sure you're really happy with it as it was a pleasure to play! Well done!
