Almost did it in Day 3. Good game! I like it!

I abused the forward motion of the sword tho! Water can be more punishing to incentivize the player to use bridges

I really like the gameplay loop (heh) of moving around the clock. It's cool to balance waiting for trees to chop against the oncoming hand of time. I did find it was very fast to constantly swing my sword forward.

Super cool concept. I really like look, sound and feel of things for this. Esp the implications of digging further down and being more at risk of being struck.
