Works find on Mac, and the win/lose conditions worked for me. Pretty simplistic game but the critters faces are adorable.

I liked the challenge of trying to feed the pups in the back of the group - with the front ones growing bigger and happier, it's easy to see how litters have a runt! Would have loved more indicators of how close I was to winning or losing.
"you know you want to play it ;D cause it’s so cute :3". Yes it does look cute... but the categories innovation, fun, theme, graphics, audio, humor, and mood all get 0 stars. This means that overall gets 5 stars. Just kidding, I haven't even played or reviewed it yet XD

The cave was supposed to have an alot more important role as "the room" but I ended up running way out of time with that, because I stumbled over so many problems :O (But the whole game is within a Snowglobe though :P)
I'm probably doing it wrong? I just kept running over apple trees and ignoring the shelter/den, and the game told me my pups where all grown-up. Lots of food but no love... I'm a bad cute animal parent!
Very cute critters
Such a calm game, ofcourse at first I thought its gonna be difficult to keep all pups fed and warm and worried so much about them showing different faces. Sooner than expected the game said all puppies have grown up! :)
Aw! I feel so responsible for my little cubs. <3 Great touch with the facial expressions. Very cozy game, even if nothing seem to happen after a while, but that's ld for you. Not sure how it fits the theme either, but a nice little experience none the less. <3
Aww! Eat dem tomatoes!
The game is both very fun and cute, but is also super short. But overall well done.
Very different idea, nice job. :)
I found it too short. I just fed the babies and suddenly they were ready to go out into the world, but it's an interesting concept. Would be interesting if you could expand it in the future.
Nice work, I loved the face of the puppies. With more work this can be a nice game for relax. Good job and keep working on it.
Oh this is cute!
I loved the graphics and music.
Well done overall!
The models are all very nicely done, as a slightly surrealist but very cute and painterly little environment. I got flung around the map a fair bit because of weird geometry, but I recognize that building separate collider/visible maps is a bit more work than a LD may allow for.
The game ended a bit too quickly for me. The den seemed to occupy an important space in the world but no gameplay happened around it. Maybe some form of "winter is upon you, hide in the shelter" mechanic would have helped here.
The graphics are so cute! Was kinda hard to feed some of the critters.
I like the concept, and i'm a sucker for cute so also found the critters adorable even without animations (which would really help for feel), it felt like the controls needed some work and was sometimes difficult to get them to actually eat the food. The house looked like a Christmas pudding to me, bonus points if that was intentional. I think the music really helped the atmosphere. With more work it could be a pretty fun little game.
Cute animals! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/ZixdysfW5fU
