The concept is interesting; you have to control the wild animal in the wilderness and you have to secure that you have enough supplement (food) for a next period and dominate the area you're living in. Also using the different and clever solutions to control your 'food income' makes this game logical and to have a strong base. While it is hard to get starved while you are on the top of the food chain, but the general mistake there is to make short-lived decisions nor living with the line of sustainable development. This game atmosphere really works and is partly an addictive game
Good game. I like. I played about 10 times) Sometime it's crush - you eat big group of zebras, all freeze and you need restart. And scores from last game does't reset.
Thanks for all your feedback. I love the time of DOS games and early nes and SNES graphics. Really made me happy to see people playing and liking my game. Thank you
I've realized I missed my first pc and games. Good job! :)
I liked the retro thing and the gameplay idea.
Thermodynamics and games cant go wrong ♥.
I loved the concept, and it is really fun to play!! A detail for future modifications perhaps, add a restart botton! I reloaded the page to start again :) Does it have an end? i lost every time! lol. (I played it many he) Great job!!
Retro feeling and great idea to the theme.
@laau Thanks. I fixed the restart button. I also fixed the resolution size. This was my first time uploading a game to itch so bit of a learning curve. Thanks so much for playing
The music and sound effects are amazing! Loved the idea and the atmosphere. I tried pressing 2 buttons at the same time in order to move to a diagonal tile (haha wanted to cheat a bit) but the game crashed so my bad! Despite that a really fun entry.
I'm sure this was fun to code (at least I always wanted to make a simulation like this), but I'm lacking an objective and a reason to keep playing after the first couple of games. Maybe you could add levels/missions to the game to give an objective to players who don't just enjoy watching the simulation.
The graphics and the sound are functional, matching this kind of game. One thing I'd change though is the timing of animation (when the tiger moves to eat a zebra, it's not completely clear if the zebra died before the move, or after). It would also be nice if the game moved faster - with the current speed, it felt like I was waiting for the simulation most of the time...
@ondrasej Great points. I agree the pacing isn’t great and the waiting is the least fun part of the game. I basically started with the simulation and worked backwards to find room for player interaction. I learned that was a really hard way to do it. I also agree there is confusion in what is actually going on. I think this could be cleared up with more animation and more time. Thanks you so much for your thoughtful comments and thanks for trying my game.
This is a really fun game and the virtual ecosystem is wonderful. Waiting to move can get somewhat tedious but everything else is well done.
Cool as a simulation even if the gameplay isn't super interactive/interesting from what I could tell. I also accidentally softlocked my game
The music really get's you zooooned out while playing but I still like it for some weird reason even if the loop is super simple. I liked the simulation and I think I ate most the animals on the planet but I'm not sure what influence the weather etc had. Good work!
Interesting game. It was difficult to herd them because the tracks disappear quickly and they move as much as the player.
