At this time the game needs more to do, there is some promise to it, like I love the nightmare stuff the most right now. I kinda just want the nightmare stuff right now lol. When the game gets more content then my review may change but as for now it needs a lot more work.

Honestly i love the game ad i cant wait to see what they do with it.
I hope they add a little more detail on how to get rescued.. i used both flares at the start of a day and nothing happent, I lasted 6-7 days ad by the 5th i was running completely out of food and juice ad barely strugling to get more that 6th and 7th day literally maybe took 5 min because there was no more food or water. Hopefully they add a way to boil snow ad make fishing a bit more reliable
-the runing away from the boat minigame i always get and iv never been able to beat it.. i think the last jump is a little too big.
However all in all i think its a great game so far and cat wait for them to add new stuff

In all honesty there isnt actually much you can do in this game.
You can fish, you can search for things to help you so you can fish more....
You can go insane... and you can throw snowballs at zombies.
Its an ok waste of time.

old review
A unique take on the survival game genre. instead of some sort of abandoned island, you're stuck on a giant floating piece of ice. you must traverse different ice blocks in search of supplies and items, while not falling into the water. great sfx, too. i really think they could make this AMAZING.

It's a good game, but needs some improvements. There are some bugs, needs more polish. Like better random generation. You always spawn in the same area with the items at the same area. This game has a lot of potential, but sill needs improvements.

I can't believe I paid $13 for this...
Get the demo and save your money. Great concept and was fun for about 15m but the dev said that's all you're getting out of this game. They thought about a desert skinned version but no.
For $13 there are so many other games you can get and you'll get more than half an hour of entertainment out of them.
If this game were $5 I would recommend.

I can't see how its worth 13€ with such little content, my main problem is that the world isn't randomly generated but always the same.

It might seem odd, but I keep coming back to this game because it is relaxing. Once you know how everything works, and turn off nightmares, it's like a small vacation from the world.
It took awhile to get to that point though. Learning what to do and what not to do was a challenge. I died a lot at the beginning. I didn't even realize you could jump to the other ice sheets at first. It also took me some time to figure out that you aim and fire the flare gun using the mouse buttons. Staying on top of hunger, thirst and energy, and trying not to do dumb things takes some effort. It doesn't take long to play through, in fact the ability to save only came recently. The map changes each time, which can randomly make each run easier or more difficult. If you like more action in your games, keep the nightmares turned on.

I simply cannot recomend this game in it's current state, thirteen dollars is far too much for such a bare bones game. It is fun, I will give it that, for a little while. It feels good and is difficult in a good way.
Now onto the parts I dislike... I think the minigame part is ridiculous, it does not fit the game in any way, like trying to put a corner piece of a puzzle in the center, it just doesn't fit, I appreciate the devs allowing you to remove this.
They also have too little things and actions, why can't I fill an empty bottle with snow and boil it? Why are the only foods you can find sandwitches and chocolate bars? Why are there no water bottles, only juice? The devs act like this is a finished game, when it is only a skeleton.
There is no way to see how your score adds up, my first game I got a thousand points, only lasting two days, another I last five or six and only get two hundred more points than that. I then see this guy with three thousand on the leaderboard, and have no way of knowing how many days he lasted, it is a disfunctional scoring system when you ahve no idea how the points add up, giving you no way to compare it with other people.
All in all, a fun little game, I'd price it at five to eight dollars in its current state. If the devs update it regularly and flesh the game out more, I might be able to recomend it, but until I see improvement, I cannot.
