This is so cute

Love the look and feel of this. I know the feeling of not getting more then 20% done for a jam :-D

Cute but I don't get the game, a better UI for the UX could be good.

This game looks great! I really loved the production values of this one! The walruses are totes adorbz and the gameplay loop is engaging, having more than three walruses is hectic and fun as heck! I have only encountered a small glitch where it would select water dispenser when I wanted to buy a chair, but that sorted itself out when I reopened and closed the menu. Well done, this is a great entry!

@didine-sama Thank you! Our walrusses are happy you like them! :3

@fragment-games haha, I know right? It's good to remember oneselfes that the main goal is fun and that 3 days is really really short :D Thank you :)

@revitalia I'm sorry to hear that and I agree! Unfortunately there wasn't enough time in the end :( Thank you for playing :) If you wanna give it a second go: you have to choose the employee with LMB first to be able to make them go somewhere or do something :) you can rotate with RMB and exit the minigames with RMB too!

@sodoj ohh thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it! :3 we we're quite ambitious with all the mechanics and had to cut down on quite a few features but I'm glad you still enjoyed playing :D That's definitely the feeling we wanted, to have a little stressful fun trying to oprganize everything but we wanna improve this for sure! Also thanks for letting me know about the bug ^_^

Cute game with cute animals, the scene is very fresh

Very cute walruses and the concept is really cool altough quite ambitious for a Gamjam. It toke me quite a while until i found out how to get to the shop i think it would be helpfull if it was marked a bit clearer(but maybe thats just me). I really like what you managed to complete with the time given was fun leading the tuskforce ^^

ahah, so cute, but i like most of all sound of moving! nice work

Really fun game! The music & sounds are really charming. Wish it was explained a little more in-game about what kinds of benefits you get from your purchases, wasn't really sure what I was buying for until I came back and re-read the page.

Hey there!

I love this Tusk Force and a humor around it :smile: Music is playing a big role setting up a cozy and funny mood. Also got a joke about the "not-a-placeholder" car :D Sounds absolutely legit. Didn't get how to get more workers at first, but then figured out :smile:

As a room for improvement there are two things that I can point: 1) Even tho I really like the idea of optional micromanagement - it's really refreshing for the experience - I don't like that game is forcing window every time worker starting it's activity (even if worker is not selected anymore) 2) It would be nice to have some result screen once per 3-5-7 days maybe just to undertand if you are getting better and overall what's the result

Aside of that I do like the approach and humor around this creation, so keep my :thumbsup: for this one :smile:

I loved the walrus model!

protowlf 2023-05-04 06:29

Love the walrus and the graphics overall! Super cute.

I like the timer element in the mail sorting game. Choosing to click 2 to play it safe vs trying to stretch to 3 was fun.

Nice style of the game! You did a lot of work, also added build mechanic and it feels and looks so good with graphics. But I can't see a lot of gameplay, I only can move tusks for mail and to sort and that's it. May be try smaller idea next time? I have this problems too in previous jam's and understand it.

This game can be a good manager game, where you start from small office and it bacames bigger and bigger with more rooms, tusks, activites.

I really liked the idea that you can help your tusk to do they work, it's good implemented except mail select, because tusk can done something faster than you.

It is really beautiful, the mini-games are good, but the overall game loop misses something rewarding. Really good job guys.

This is so kawaiii! This is so well made. Love the simple but polished mechanisms and the art style. UI and UX are super clean and smooth. Great job!!

Fun little game with a cute mood :)

Easy to undertstand, works like clicker where you can be lazy and wait or help your characters, but here it's funnier because you really PLAY to accelerate things !

The only things that bothered me a little was the clumsyness of controls when you have more than an employee. I'll asked myself during the play session if seperate character selection and task selection (like one on left click and the other on right click) should have been more comfortable.

But even with that the entry was fun, you have big cute employees, you can make a maze of coffee machine, just great jobs ! :)

Who doesn't like cute little seals! Well done!

a nice lovely game with cute sea creatures! Great work!

The graphics is so cute! Love it! The theme music is nice and it fits very well. Too bad you didn't manage to squeeze-in some more gameplay elements. Nicely done
