Great game, but wish some of the mechanics were clearer. Also, there were these symbols on the paths that didn't match the ones in the notes. They looked like U and an upside down U.
Reviews for "Forest Shack"
4 stars because the rogue lite style and gameplay were cool. Also the music/tone. Would like to get more backstory though on how all these monsters and encounters relate. For example, the end boss was a cool fight but it seemed kinda random to me. Entertaining game, though. Great work.
Combat has little weight or impact

Thank you for your feedback, I didn't want to go into flashing lights / damage numbers territory for the sake of the atmosphere. ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ✎❑
Very unique
Well here was a unique game with some nice pixel style and the mechanics of different things was pretty good, Here was an interesting game What a fun game and that's what I take away from this particular game, Love the pixel like graphics and the music was top notch, while the idea is different one you have gone and made this particular game your own with some added details but that's what makes it fun, but anyways a very fun and unique game

One of the most unique games out there although some parts were a bit confusing to understands like the totem con and pros were confusing and i had no idea what was going on at first but eventually understood.
Solid story line i wish there was a way to understand more fully.
Also divining the path dos not seem to use up any bones so there is no reason not to use divine path.
Also you can buy infinite hats from **** *** as long as you have the bones
SPOILER
the end cube boss was difficult but bland i wish it had a more interesting battle like the magician also i loved that fact that you could choose not to shoot the things i didn't end up shooting any of the boss creatures if i could help it.Also the spirit dear was sick and i also loved all the interesting twits like our favorite wood cutting pall being either killed by or scavenged from by bird boi. As i stated eailer it feels as if there is so much lore but we only get to see a part of it.
Also what was the present from the deer? i did not notice anything
Sadly for some reason i think non of my badges were recorded by new grounds :(
with a bit more polish and maybe some more features like maybe having different hunters like maybe unlocking wood chopper after finding bird boi. maybe he can have new abillites or even a different story.
maybe you could add companions who can fight along side you like pets idk
Anyways great game good job you should try to release this as a beta on steam or something for like 5 dollars and have a sale to attract a player base?

Thank you for your feedback, I'm very happy you enjoyed your visit to the woods of forest shack. ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ❤
Divining the path was *meant* to cost bones, but the game turned out harder than expected so their cost was cut down to balance the odds in favour of our wanderers.
And thank you for your suggestions, I need to improve my design skills with a few smaller projects if I want to be able to give it the polish it deserves before being released on Steam even as just a beta.
If you want to take a look at my next project, don't hesitate to come visit the campfire at our discord! I'm currently working on the first prototypes for its different sections.
And last, check your notifications. I unlocked a chunk of the final medals for you.
