Hint 0
Hold "action" to runHint 1
Look around for a triangle markers, and use "action" button to interact with themHint 2
Cook a potato salad at home before going awayHint 3
Explore the mountain for wood and something for dinnerHint 4
Go home at eveningHint 5
Split the wood and cook a dinner just outside the houseHint 6
Have a good nightHint 7
Observe its behaviour before doing anything, try to spot the best timing
BTW there is a nasty bug with fireballs: they remain invisibly floating in air after you die, so please restart the game if that locks you, sorry for that!
Hint 8
Shooting will only give you some timeHint 9
Next hint will spoil everythingHint 10
Shoot when it's head is down, and, while it is not moving, interact with the headHint 11
Go have some sleepHint 12
No more hints, you're are on you own nowHint 13
No, really, there is nothing left for me to teach youHint 14
What else do you want to know?Hint 15
Did you try to get a better time?Hint 16
Some of actions you do are not necessaryHint 17
Some of actions you do could be combined with othersHint 18
Some of actions you do could be combined with others because of a bug that lets you move while doing something elseHint 19
Like shooting (you probably got that already)Hint 20
Or some other full-screen actionHint 21
Like woodcuttingHint 22
Next hint will spoil my 1:02 strategyHint 23
Run straight to the woods skipping everything else, shoot a right-most duck, start woodcutting and run back while cutting the wood, split the wood, cook a dinner (by spamming action buttion), run fast to the shooting spot, activate it as soon as you see it starts moving, shot it while the head is down, attack, go back to the shooting spot and repeat doing that (so you won't let it to take off even once), and then finish the last cooking sequence and run to bedHint 24
Actually, my best time is 1:00, but I am pretty sure it is possible to complete it faster than 1 minuteHint 25
Thank you for going so far, no more hintsHint 26
For real, I don't have any hints leftHint 27
Seriousely, you've done everything in the gameHint 28
But you could play it more if you want (during the last 3 days before the submission I played it hundreds of times, and even now I ocasionally return here trying to beat 1:00)Hint 29
Cool, let's wrap it up and go play some other games!Hint 30
See you later!Source code and devlog could be found here: https://github.com/mattekudasai/guardian-game

Interesting game that with simple graphics, lines and mechanics manages to convey a lot.
I only reached two endings though (both of them bad: “lost in the wood” and drowned), I can start a fire but I am not exactly sure where.
Thanks for playing!
Yeah, the game is half (or less) done, so many features are not there yet (and probably won't be, since it is a game jam project, and I only have 3 evenings left).
