alternative title: unexpectedly difficult wood picking up simulator

==

A storm is coming.  You have three days to collect enough supplies to build a boat and escape!

Chop trees and attack enemies to collect supplies.   Careful not to run out of energy--you don't have a lot of time left!

My submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2026, and my first ever game jam!  I've learned so much and had so much fun, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity!  The Countdown theme made me think of the iconic Majora's Mask day countdown and I used the opportunity to attempt to learn a bunch of stuff I've been wanting to try.   I kept joking to my friends that it was basically just a wood picking up simulator for the first couple of days, and I thought there was a pretty good chance it might stay that way, so I'm very happy with how far it's come!
