I enjoyed the open ended prompt of the island with all the objects. The way pieces snapped together were very impressive. I have no idea how to achieve the growth of trees and grass featured in the screenshots. I tried building some trees and sticking the coconut and skull to them. In one playthrough my goal became to see how far I could get off the island by building a bridge of branches. It went pretty well until I drowned. The tension of the sea level rising was also a nice element. Good work."},{"author_name":"zguerrero","author_uid":"65241","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:42pm","epoch":1450208220,"text":"Nice ambiance, also i liked the music that came after a few minutes a play!

(In particular, I couldn't place things in quite the orientation I wanted, or tell precisely where in 3D space they'd be, which is understandably a challenge with any building game using a 3D perspective camera.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The interface was also slightly more frustrating because I chose to play in a window, and the mouse cursor wasn't locked to the window.  Kept clicking outside of the window and switching other apps.  I believe doing Screen.lockCursor = true during Update() might fix that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But I agree with the others, the growth of the trees and especially grass, the selection outline of items, the water and sky, all look really good.  I did wonder where the moon was, though, which one would presume was the cause of the tides.  ;-)"},{"author_name":"AdWARDS","author_uid":"63361","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:11am","epoch":1450256760,"text":"I don't know if this was supposed to be a survival game \r<br\/>(by planting more and more coconut tree to get more and more material, then to build higher and higher platform against the tide?)

Game looks pretty and ambient music matches well. \r<br\/>Oh and i found the goal, you are supposed to get to the heaven and make coctail to gods :)\r<br\/>Srsly though, you can place tree trunks in space infinitely if they are close enough.
