Really cool game. Too short in general and some things just were not so obvious: at the start: You have to "accept" the quest even though you obviously don't have enough wood. Cause if you don't explicitly select accept there, ypou don't get the stone axe which you need. Run back and forth many times before I realized this.
Second: As mentioned in another comment, the importance of the different pick axes is not so obvious. My thought: I saw that my stamina increased quite fast. States of iron pickaxe are among others: 1 stamina per hit. my thought: so when using that, on top of the already ridiculous fatigue rate, on top my stamina will also decrease by 1 more point per hit.
So I didn't use it. Until I learned that i need it for stone. And then realized that the description was confusing to me as fuck.
Except that, it's a nice game. Wish it was longer there.
So looking forward to any improvements on it, especially new islands!
What also kind of disappointed me: Whenever I found some border like rock formation, I kind of expected some sort of secret ruins or something inside. But that was just my dreams there, no problem .
We're planning on extending the game with more islands/content/length. You can think of this game as a work in progress (or endless early access title).
For pick axes, 1 stamina per hit is actually very good. The stone pick axe takes 3 stamina per hit if you hover over it, so by not using the steel pickaxe, you're hurting yourself.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game though! There will definitely be many improvements/new islands/features/content and even secret dungeons buried underground like you were hoping for!
It's not a bad game, but it's certainly frustrating. I've having a difficult time gathering resources without dying after collecting only a few pieces of coal or iron. Maybe it gets easier after playing some more, but I just wanted to express my irritation. It doesn't really ruin it for me, though.
Be careful of going overweight (there will be a notification when you are overweight, and the yellow weight bar next to the inventory icon will flash orange). While you can carry as much stuff as you want, if you're overweight, you get a stamina penalty which if you're heavily overweight will kill you quickly. Drop ores if you're holding too many, and make sure to make return trips to the storehouse to drop off ore and rest in the hut to restore stamina. Bringing food along to restore stamina also helps and can lengthen your trips.
I figured it out after testing on a few computers. The problem with the shader was this line: "precision mediump float;" This is required for WebGL (and the browser version), and most PC shader compilers ignore it so I thought it was safe to leave it there. However, a few compilers crash when they see it, so I simply removed it from the non-webgl version.
Thanks for the bug report! Try downloading the game again and let me know if it works.
It does indeed work now. I was surprised with the amount of content you had for just the start island being available. I can't wait to see what you've got planned for the next update.

My main issue with it is that it's kinda way too short, like 2 hours of content.

craft the iron or , much better, the steel pickaxe.
Stuff gets WAY easier after that!

Its great!
I was expecting alot less from this but this just ate my time.
So far its great.
How do you get the dragon
You need to get the wyrm pen quest from the alchemist (after you get the market), then feed the wyrms steaks.
Why steaks and not its brothers and sisters
Wyrms are cannibals? That could explain their small population on the island...
Nice game finished it in over 1 hour
I enjoyed my time in this game!
Honestly one of the WORST games I have ever played.
maybe try to say what is bad about the game so they could fix it?
Launching just gives a 'Shader Compile Error' both through the itch launcher and with a direct download.
