Nice game! I loved the art and the sound effects, and it fit the theme well.
I would say it was hard to tell when the creatures were close to death and I didn't know what to buy in order to get them to reproduce. Maybe increase how many creatures you start with, or increase how long they live as I felt they died rather quickly.
Apart from that I enjoyed your game :)
Cool game! Loved the art and sound design. The colony took a lot of time to start. Maybe the daynight cycle is a little bit too long
This game is a huge art potential. There's even a story and motivation of the Ctulhu-player to do that farming! But it takes a while to make actual progress or maybe it's just me
Massive credit to the team for this amazing little game, it was really really enjoyable! Let's start with the art because that's my thingy. So. Darn. Cute! And funny! The creatures and the little things they do, makes my heart melt! The comic panels are so good, so funny and cocaine for my eyeballs! Thank you artist(s)! The gameplay is also so fun! I really feel like I'm Mr. Octopus himself, watching over these little critters and giving them all the gatorade, berries and sleepy tents they need. And then collecting my well-deserved souls of course! Scrumptious laid-back game. Was a really nice game all-throughout. Thanks team, great job!
Some buggies/issues: The creatures would often try to enter tents that were already full, walking between them while ignoring the ones that weren't occupied yet. When you splat them while sleeping, the ones that are sleeping nearby were fleeing while still sleeping. One time one fell off the map at the top and I wasn't able to collect the soul.
That's some S-Tier game jam art! Great humor, too! Had fun playing it on stream.
Really solid entry with fun little story. Few glitches but nothing detracting from the game. The art was really awesome and sold the whole concept. It was a little difficult to figure out the exact rules, and I'm not sure I actually did understand but it worked for me... :-)
Well done! This is one beautiful game, also love the simple yet entertaining narrative. Gameplay seems simple enough to enjoy the ride.
Really cute art! I love the little dudes, watching them fall off the edge was heartbreaking every single time
@WitchGF @WitchGF Your feedback has been applied. Thanks for playing our game!
@shores Thanks for the feedback! We'll gonna fix that issues soon
Excellent ! I love it !
oMG they are so cute ;; I was kiling them without understanding lol I love this game
As a big fan of the call of cthulu tabletop game, I am very happy to see a game with a cthulu component :-)
The art is amazing! The mood and the vibe is great! Takes a hot min to get things going and start growing the colony. Really fun game!
Art style is really amazing, I had a great experience overall! It's short, fun and definitly unique! Love it
That beginning cutscene was really cool. Also the art was amazing! It felt like the creature multiple rate was a little slow, but for an idle game it was an interesting take.
They are so cute that I can't believe it's cthulhu themed! Whole game mood really fits my appetite!
However, the simulation part is kinda made me anxious because these "C"s sometimes cannot find a tent to sleep by themselves even if I end up built so many tents that nearly filled the sceen. It means that the outcome of my investment is kinda... random? Well, there could be some randomness in game and it can be fun, but when these "C" dies, no obvious signals are given, like a symbolic sound effect? so I have to stare at the screen all the time if I do not want to have any loss due to randomness, and sometimes it's frustrating. But the game content is not that rich for me to stare at it all the time and just wait for a transparent soul coming out.
But for a 72h jam work it is good enough and core gameplay is fun! If there's further development, more details can be added. And a more complex activities logic of these cute "C"s can make this game much more interesting to play! Thank you for your work!
@jfeeefl Yeah, we aleady knew that problem. Now we are fixing that AI. So we recommend play 1.01 version before we fix the AI. Thanks for meticulous feedback!
@jfeeefl We fixed AI. Thanks for reporting bug
Excellent game, the humor is really incredible. I loved the intro at the beginning in comic mode, it made me think of a French comic called Mutafukaz, There is a really cool animated film for your information. The game is very well thought out, and the gameplay mechanics work very well, the character animations are very fluid and fit well with the theme of the game. I just find the difference in outline between the background of the game and the characters a pity. In any case, it's really an incredible game, and the work to achieve in three days is really substantial, especially in animation. Having made the choice of procedural animation for our game, precisely to avoid all this work, which people do not always see. Congratulations.
I have no clue what youre doing in those 3 days... But producing this much high quality art is jaw dropping! You definitely deserve a top 10 in art, good luck!!!
Impressive art, the character is so cute, I want to grab some

From an art perspective this game is pure beauty! The colorful sprites, cute animations, gorgeous backgrounds to the wonderful music and sound effects. Can't beat that. Reminds me a lot of cult of the lamb which is a good thing.
There are minor technical nitpicks: Wrong z-ordering of sprites is unfortunate. I wouldn't put the exit button so prominently near other gameplay buttons (Was not sure what this button was for). And this would be a perfect game to keep running in the background, so I'd not pause the game on lost window focus.
Gameplay wise it's very simple, but just takes a lot of time. Fortunately the cute minions make this still an enjoyable process. Feels like a cool tamagotchi simulation.
Well done folks and thanks for the game!
i am really in love with the art. clearly very talented.
The game looks really good. Those arts are wonderfull. And the story really add something to the game.
The music fit perfectly.
But the gameplay is really hard. I feel like we don't win enough souls when killing Cs. And since I can't tell when one of them is gonna die, it is hard to keep a good amount of C.
By the way I don't know why but your game is 3go big. Maybe because of the images.
I love the art, and the story, only thing i would say is that the begging comic should start with a artwork, not a empty yellow screen, thought it was loading or bugged until i clikced lol
Love the twist on cliker game! Cute game! Congrats!
The art style is incredible, I love everything about it - humor, line art, colors! You did an amazing job <3 Sound and game play are also very fun and arw very well fitting.
I think you also nailed the theme. Harvesting my little souls was very pleasing :smile:
Keep up the good work!
Amazing art, gameplay was very simple and took a ages to get anywhere. good job!
Hahahahaha this is so fun! And I love the art and audio. So well polished!
This is super cute and fun, the art and animation is super fitting and the music is fun.
This was really cool! I loved the artstyle, this was almost like a full on graphic novel! The gameplay was a little bland, but all in all this is a super impressive entry for a jam! Really well done!
Great art, great presentation of the story, solid sound work, and the game loop was easy to understand. It maybe took a little longer than preferable to reach the goal number (maybe I'd need to find an optimal strategy), but otherwise a sort of dark twist on what might otherwise be a cozy game. =P
Nice work!
@andidebob Thanks a lot! I'm so happy to hear that! I'm so appreciated. Glad you're Vote and Game play!
Cheers!
@artsyomni Thanks you're comment! Yeah, It takes some time to play, We will add more system and event, maybe next time! Thank you so much for your valuable feedback!
Then, cheers!

Cheers!

@phillip-scott Thank you so much for leaving comments!
Cheers ;)
This game was fun (but also sad, I didn't want to kill the frens). Animations and art were ON POINT. Audio is also fantastic!!
oh my goodness, the art and animation are just incredible for a game jam! love the concept, but i wish the whole experience was a bit more accelerated in actual gameplay, like, everything just running at 2x or 3x speed, to really see the little ones run around, eat drink sleep and multiply, for a more satisfying harvest at the end!
The art and animation are wonderful! The gameplay is a bit slow, but the idea is incredible, and smashing the poor little dudes is great! Overall, an amazing game! Well done!
Cute game with a lovely graphics style, perfect for a coffee-break game at work. Everything fits together well and it's a really polished solid base that could be expanded on a lot later on.
Great Work!
It was very good.
I feel so evil for crushing the little guys ;~; Love every aspect of the game, but a speed-up button would neat.
art and sound was great , gameplay felt polished but wasnt particularly fun .Maybe having thought out the gameplay loop for a bit more would have helped .Keep it up!
Nice strategy game with robust gameplay loop and balance. I adore visuals and the story. Well done!
to be honest, i had zero idea what to do, i crushed some C's but it doesn't look like i'm getting something.
but this game keeps you absorbed because of the fantastic art holding the whole game, great work on that!
The art is **beautiful**. But I **haven't understood** what I should do.
I don't know when and why I should kill them.
Good job with the game. The art was really well done and I really liked the intro and ending cut-scenes. It has a lot of charm to it. The music was also pretty relaxing. Gameplay wise I liked building and developing the area to support more C's but it tended to feel really slow to progress. I felt like there was a lot of time just waiting for them to multiply.
lmao love your ending, he deserves better!
Cool game! I really liked the intro and ending scenes. Gameplay was fun. I had a funny bug where sometimes the sleeping sprite was kept on the creatures as they were walking around :smile: Only minor issue is that it took me a few minutes to realize I need to click again to harvest the souls after I kill the creatures. Maybe would've been better for that to be automatic?
Best game intro so far !
i love the cute graphics, the sound design is nice and fun (i can't stop crushing!), the gameplay is simple to understand.
Well done !
Art and writing are really something. The game play loop itself wasn't really for me, but I still had to play it till the end so I could see the ending (and it was worth it!)
it's the first time i've seen so much work put onto the introduction in a jam game. Super cool! I've always liked this kind of games and the "C"s are so funny (although a little dumb because they all kept trying to enter the same tents and ended up sleeping on the floor)
Love the “pop” of the bunny’s. Impressive amount of scripted scenes! I’m an idle game fan so I liked the slow gameplay:) for me 5/5
cute game like the intro and outro, all over the storyline. the combination of BGM and artwork are great:) Good work
I love the art, everything is so cute. The way the lillte boys drink is just adorable. The gameplay is quite fun. The revenge story on the ex is also a nice. Only thing bugging me is that the placement of things is a bit off. I cant put stuff where i think i should. all in all i loved this game. Which i could play more
Damn, that was a nice idea for game, I should have thought about it. You could definitely extend it to make actual farming/ranching game.
It was a little confusing how to gather the soul, but suddenly I really how it works. The graphic is so cute and perfect while the story is crucial. I didn't expect how it goes when I clicked into the game. And, I also didn't expect it to be such a huge game, when the zip file is 179M, and became almost 4G after extraction.
Great entry! Loved the intro story with the tutorial and had fun playing Demigod for the little hamsters to avenge a spoiled pizza:)
Excellent art, there's even a story for the game ! Unfortunately the actual game part was a bit tedious to play. Great job nonetheless !
It's a great little entry. I loved the art and the attention to detail. Very good work indeed
