You’re a hungry mortal in a strange world filled with other animals. But you alone know how to wield tools and know the art of butchery, so time to get butcherin’! Complete all the achievements to win the game.
\nControls:
\nSmooth animations and cool generated creatures. I found it very fun to figure out how to accomplish all of the requirements. I never really figured out what building is for, though. Maybe to corral the creatures?

From the sleek smooth graphics and animations to the sounds. I really loved it. The gameplay is simple, but not entirely obvious. But in this case, figuring out the game mechanics was half of the fun.\nI feel like maybe you had more in mind for this game than you could implement. What are the pickaxe and the bricks for? At first I thought I had to build a home to be able to cook a home-cooked meal, but not. I also didn’t see the point of throwing items on the ground. And there are 9 item slots but as far as I could tell there aren’t 9 different items in the game.\nRegardless, this was a really fun and polished game. Would be perfect with some music.

\nI enjoyed the running around trying to complete my tasks from the checklist. The graphics were good to see the characters from multiple angles, as were the sound effects.
\nI didn’t find a use for the bricks, I assume building, but they didn’t for me.
\nAfter I played to the end, I went in again for a look around rather than following the list. Discovered that the mouse wheel zooms the level which was cool - I should have read the info more thoroughly.

I have “search as you type” enabled in my browser, so every time I press a key it brings up the search. You should call .preventDefault() for all keyboard events to prevent this.
I was very impressed with how smooth the movements were and how satisfying it was when the speed of the character increased with the button press. Aside form that there was so many other great aspects to this game. The autogenerated character being one of them! I wasn’t so sure about the use for some of the items in the inventory. I wonder if a quick fix could be applied here by simply adding a pop up with the use for each item.

As you run around the map, you’ll see it populated with both items and animals (some of which look strangely like yourself!). Pick up the knife, and when you run into one of them, blood flies everywhere which you collect. Stab them enough times, and they die, leaving you a little joint of meat.
\nAnd thus, your journey continues. Collecting, using items, and stabbing your way to the end of the game. I’m not going to lie, I felt a little bad about using the love herbs to make two animals breed, only to then stab them all in order to fill up my meat quota! But that was how I needed to complete the tasks assigned to me.
\nI picked up several items I didn’t need to use to complete the game, which made me want to go back and see what they actually did. The graphics fit well, the sounds are nice and retro, and it all controlled smoothly. Dark but fun.

\nVisual effects are smooth, it’s easy to control the main character and there are plenty of things you can equip or craft.
\nI didn’t see any flaws in the current state of the game but I would love to see it expanded, with more mechanisms, this could be a really fun survival game to play.
\nNonetheless, congratulations on your hard work, it was a pleasure to try out this game and I hope to see more. Nice work!

\nThe control were good, but felt slightly slippery. It’s cool that we can zoom in and out. I could take a better look at the interesting monsters. I love the exclamation mark above the animals when they come near me.
\nThe game was short, meaning, I wish I could do more because it was fun. Get more tools/weapons and maybe new monsters that can also kill me.
