I expected some kind of rpg but it actually was an interesting puzzle game. I can easily see how it could evolve with maybe optional missions and different outcomes depending on the equipment you used.
It was an enjoyable experience, gg :smiley:
the explanation:
the gather iron mission is actually not the same mission of the gather wood for torch, when you end the torch mission it would change your current mission to "gather iron", but if you went to the board and accepted again the mission, in reality you would be accepting the "gather torch" mission, now it's solved(i think)
I think the potential was there to make a good puzzle game, but it's just not there.
@garymarance Thank you. I'm happy that you had a nice time. It means a lot for me.
@delauraen Thanks :v: I was kinda insecure about it for being so simple, but some people are enjoying, and it really makes the deal for me!
@nanamaki Thanks for the feedback! :smiley: I spend most of the time planning it to minimize the the possibilities of bugs. I'm a big fan of RPGs myself, and I tried to make fun outcomes to enhance the feeling of failure without frustrating players.
Puzzle games are difficult to make in a game jam, especially as your first time, so props to you for attempting and submitting it.
@rose I'm happy you had a good time playing it! And about your suggestion, I really hadn't thought about that, but reading your comment I can see it would really make ir more fun! Thanks for the feedback! :smile:
I like that you needed to think about which items to add to your inventory for each quest which was a nice use of the theme as well. One small suggestion I have is that (in my opinion) it's much more pleasant to read text that appears from left to right rather than having it appear in the center and then move.
As others have said some challenge could be added to the gameplay and such but it plays as a very complete experience and I enjoyed it :)
Is this also your First Game? Its really nice. Keep up the good work!!
The core gameplay mechanic was simple (in a good way) and fun and I wanted to get to the end. The mechanic was also introduced nicely and I had no issues with figuring it out along the way.
I think you did a really amazing job for this being your first game. Even regardless of that, it's a great entry!
@darkmax14 Thanks for playing, hope you had a goot time! :v:
@kobylarz I'm glad you enjoyed the whole thing, thanks! :smile:
@jdegs It's good to see that you liked it, the music I picked some no copyright song, but the rest I did myself. Thanks for the feedback! :smiley:
I love the way the story is told, it's rather linear in the way you have to solve stuff but it doesn't feel like it. Cool art, lovely dialogues and worldbuilding, and nice implementation of the theme too ! ESPACIALLY for a first LD game.

@alexandru-barbanoua Really thanks, I'll sure keep it up :smile:
@myrmyxo Glad you found it cute! :smile: And it's great to me that people can enjoy a little story made by me.
@lincolnsalles Thanks so much! Ou obrigado né haha
@andriybyelikov Thanks for playing, happy that it was fun for you. :v: About the first empty slot of the shelf, it's just the way I ended up coding the game, but while testing I ended liking, so I decided to leave this way haha
