You're stranded on a strange island where the day lasts only 10 seconds.
The main goal is to fix your broken boat and get back home.

Nice game! Pretty hard, but that's okay :)
I just could not get the treasure chest. Never :(
And I've got no idea what the fishing rod is used for :P
I made it home! Great idea for a game... I didn't get the last tool though... will have to try again tonight. It would be cool if you could create new huts, so you could explore further
@zedutchgandalf: The fishing rod actually helps out a lot... it's used for what fishing rods are normally used for ;)
I had a great time through this =) It's a nicely condensed version of the island survival experience!
Nice and neat! Great mood and gameplay.
Did you make the hut sleeping area bigger than the graphic? I had a few close calls with night but it allowed me to sleep. That's a very good thing to be lenient with players if it was intentional :]
This was really cool. Once I figured out what the fishing rod did I was able to make progress.
That was REALLY hard for me. Maybe I didn't figure something out to make it easier, but dang, that could be really fun! You should definitely keep at this game, it has potential!
Some background music (even just a small looping audio bit) I think might have added a little bit, but overall, excellent entry!
I loved the concept of the game! I guess the worry-wart in me never lets me wander off thinking I'll never make it back in time! :P
I can't seem to get the treasure safely back home though!
Great job on this! The sprite of the character is so adorable!
Nicely done! Obtained the treasure and got home in 8 days in my second play :-)
Interesting game, pretty hard but interesting. Probably having some huts around the map would help to survive longer and have more fun!
I beat it. You have a nice start here. It was fun, and I liked the setup you had, but I was hoping there would be more. I can see the potential in this though... tons of ways to expand the game.
I loved this! Great art style and I enjoyed the pressure of figuring things out one step at a time and having to be super safe.
Nice game ! Cool graphics ! Miss some music but in overall, I love this game.
Hehe, nice! I like that you can finish it with some undiscovered tools "?", makes you come back for more!
Not sure why this game is believed to be that hard... The hardest part is having enough time to retrieve the treasure, everything else goes smoothly within 10 secs.
Solid survival game, congrats!
My best tesult is survied for 3 day and gained 2 items .. Too hard for me but well done graphics and nice character :) Good work.
Cute little game. I haven't finished it yet, but I'll come back to it. Having the days be only 10 seconds long was a nice way to incorporate the theme.
Quite challenging, but fun to play. The 10second limit is a little bit short, and I don't like the always repeating eating ritual. Some more berry places would make the game more interesting to explore.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Nice survival-game!
