The artwork on the monsters was really great, and I love the way they would sometimes fall over. The game goes from cute to frantic really quickly!

They are everywhere!!! Of the games I've played this Jam, my favorites have always been the ones to give me an ever growing sense of panic. Congratulations on making me panic yet again! Excellent art and music. It would have been nice if there had been some sort of prompt showing that you can move the heat lamp though. It took me a while to figure out how.
Ummm.... Controls please? Also, the audio is nice, and the graphics are kinda cool. It's not very innovative though, since there are a LOT of dragon/animal/other hatching and caring games out there. Also, I don't really see the theme...
Haha fun idea. It gets pretty much impossible quickly. But it's super funny to see all the dudes falling down when the eggs hatch. Good job
The game looks nice, and I especially like the designs of some of the monsters a lot. The actual game mechanics were a bit clunky though. It was very difficult to determine how to make an egg survive. Initially I thought that you just had to click the egg as soon as possible, but that would cause the egg to just die further in the foreground. Eventually I guessed you had to let the egg stay in it's spawn location until just before it cracks then move it forward but I wasn't entirely sure. Can you clarify?
Thank you all for your comments :D we had a lot of fun working on this! Sorry about the controls, we implemented a tutorial that was not working on the original upload :( It should be working now! Im glad to hear you guys found it fun!
Cute game, pretty fun. This fits the theme quite well (I don't get why someone thought that this did not fit the theme). The audio is also really fun. I had a touchable laptop so this game is much easier though. The graphics: phenomenal.
Nice monsters!
My lamp went out of screen :O Hahaha! Nice concept!
@casper thanks for the heads up, i should probably add a limiter to its range. Thanks for the input :)
:thumbsup: It gets really hard really fast:D but it was fun. All those cute little monsters! if only a could save every single one of them! Great entry! Btw good job on the music.
The game is so cute and funny! I'm not sure if that was intended but I love how mobs start just falling down after some time, like even they can't bear it anymore :D My highscore is 5600
This game was hilarious! I loved the fact the sprites just would sometimes fall over and lay on the floor. It escalated so quickly too! Great game for the jam! I had a blast playing this! 8D
Haha, super funny game!
The idea is simple but truly effective, the graphics are great, and the game goes completely crazy really fast! Great great little game you made here. Congrats!
The heating lamp mechanic is cool and simple. Tutorial was also good. It was easy to understand what to do. Cute graphics and your choose of music fitted the game so it created the right mood! Good job. Only con: couldnt play it with a 800 resolution on my lapttop because parts of the game we're cut off.
A simple but amusing and cute entry! The creature art is very good, and the explanation at the start was effective. I would perhaps have liked some additional actions available to deal with rot/unhappiness, right now there's not many decisions for the player to take. Just to kind of try and balance all the plates until everything comes crashing down. :smile:
All in all, a charming game!
What a funny game! I would've wished that the heat lamp was moved with the keyboard (arrow keys or something). But other than that I had so much fun playing it. It really fitted the theme well, at the beginning I was like "meh those two mobs" but just a few second later it was more like "ERMAHGERD I have to click on all those eggs :D"
Thanks for this fun little game!
Nice looking game with a cute little music! Had a great time overall but it kinda feels like I got overwhelmed a bit too quickly :P The more you play the better you get tho and that's fun! ;)
Check it out! https://youtu.be/0uRdwkNwx-E
Thank you so much for the kind comments, and constructive criticism! We really appreciate it! We are working to make the game more comprehensive and to have it not overwhelm you so quickly :) I'm glad you all like the art, @macabre is to credit for all the supper cute critters!
@indie-gaming - Thank you for the review! Seeing other play our game helps a lot in making the experience better!
That's a phantastic game idea.
* The kind music, well-suited to the game * The variety of cutes creatures * The original take on the theme
* I was curious but I didnt see the "wrong kind of attention of the mobs" * game a little short, but really nice ^^
I think I accidentally dragged the lamp off the screen. Maybe you should add a bounding box for that. Very cute game. The graphics and music are top notch and it fit the theme well.
Cool race-to-breed game :P - would have loved a bit more interaction, like 'have to' eggs to breed, small/bigger eggs, etc.
aaaaaaaaaaaaa too many eggs! Short and to the point. Very nice.
The characters are adorable. I wish I could see them more up-close in the game.
cute art. the gameplay would be cool on mobile
Again Thank you all for the wonderful feedback!
@tvance I'm sorry that happened too you! I will add limiters to the lamp so that will not happen again, Thanks for the tip!
@louspirit Thank you for the feedback! “wrong kind of attention from the mobs” was going to be at the end but sadly we ran out of time :( We hope to find time soon to ass some post Jam Features to that effect!
@joror Thank you for playing! I think that's a great idea! i will add it to my list of cool things to implement ;)
@cubeeo I'm really glad you like the art! as you wish, here they are in all of there cuteness! Sprites.png
Cute Game! I think the art, music, environment came together nicely. I noticed the pacing was exponential, which makes it really short with no way to gain mastery over the mechanics. (google "raph koster's theory of fun for game design") I would recommend adding something to slow the rate of failure.
I adore the little monsters! Boy it gets difficult quickly, but that was very fun!
I am really bad at this game :P Great job, fits the theme well.
