Another awesome game from snoutup. Not quite as satisfying as beating up wolves, but still fun. Great work!

That is an amazing game! The artwork and the audio are truly great :)
LOL!! It is very nice to cut the rabbits down! Very nice music and SFX, rabbits animations are also very sactisfying.
Love the graphics! Nice job with gameplay too
A fun little game. I'd suggest explaining it a bit more at the bottom of the page, but other than that, you did well. The art was pretty great, and the music too. Congratulations on a solid entry!
The overall audio for this game is great, the feedback received when performing an action made it feel satisfying, hard to juggle and balance, with more tweaking could be super addictive.
I resisted the urge to slaughter all the bunnies as long as I could. In the end, though, there were about 20 rabbits on the screen when I just massacred them all. >=D I really like it, though I felt like victory was out of my reach. Couldn't find the balance.
I was able to find a sort of balance but it was very difficult! It seemed like you have to hold back from bunnies when they're at their highest value because that's also your most fertile bunnies and the core that you need to keep alive. I just feel bad about butchering them...
Interesting game! It was very different from other games of this nature where there's a good growth to keep you going, this feels like every moment was balanced on knife edge, everything is expensive, everything sells for nothing. If I can be bothered to crunch the numbers on feed vs age vs production, it could probably be worked out, but I don't like maths :P Once you realise that you just need enough money to keep everyone alive first (have some savings), then things got easier.
I think the controls could use a little tweak - like for example two clicks to do something could be simplified to click, drag, release. Or hover, options, click. Don't get rid of what there is already, the drag and release would be a more advanced option that saves some time. Or heck, keyboard keys replacing the three options so you can just hover and press keys? The reason is that clicking so much gets tedious and tiring.
I also think maybe a bit more visualisation of the mechanics might be good, I'm not sure how the timer works on bunnies - sometimes I feel like I don't feel like feeding a bunny because it's not going to be useful, but is it possible to wait for it to breed first before killing it? I dunno, I can't tell. Should I be able to tell? Maybe, maybe not, but I feel like I don't know, and that makes me feel like I'm being taken for a random ride, when this feels like a simulation game which I should be able to see aspects of the simulation.
The dark humour here is quite good too :)
Very interesting concept, definetely something different that can be devoloped into a full game in the future, the music is pretty good it fits the theme very well, the sound effects are good, but some of them(1 or 2) were a bit too weird, but overal the sound work is top notch, the game is very fun and the art is the thing I loved the most, good work, I really liked your game, congratulations =p
Good concept of puzzle, and beautiful art. I especially liked how the gameplay escalated! Congratulations.
Bom conceito de puzzle, e arte bonita. Gostei principalmente de como a jogabilidade escalou! Parabéns. :flag_br:
Fun idea, I like that you keep your art simple, recognisable and consistent with your work. Would be nice if there was an alternate way to earn money instead of killing bunnies but that's a part of management I guess. Good work!
Wow nice game ! Pretty nice concept.
I really enjoy playing
Want to see post jam versions :)
Thanks for checking out my game! You're right, we really went for a similar theme :D
The game looks great and it's fun balancing your willingness to slaughter little rabbit babies right after birth versus the money it costs to feed them. At one point my money counter broke and only displayed NaN$, also preventing me from feeding the rabbits. Luckily I was almost done and the board filled up before anyone starved. :)
The art and sound is great, well done!
Very cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5HW0fYwhN4
