nice game

zerbu 2023-10-02 17:43

One of my favourite LD54 games so far! The graphics are so cute, and the gameplay is really fun!

2023-10-02 18:50

Very cute, fun, and with a more fair game over system than other games of this style I’ve seen.

ben-heil 2023-10-02 19:24

Really fun and addictive!

I spent way more time on this than I'd like to admit.

Usually physics games like this just don't end up working because physics are not solid enough. This hits the feeling of physics and objects out of the park! No bug and everything just works as I would expect them to work.

Some of the massive chain reactions were my favorite.

Very solid entry - one of my top entries thus far!

Very nicely done. Impressed with how much of a full game it is, isn't lacking in any aspect :o

a327ex 2023-10-02 20:55

Extremely fun and well executed idea, reminds me of https://play2048.co/ which is also very addicting. Congratulations for making this!

daniel-grinshpon 2023-10-02 22:01

like 2048 but cute

nullcode 2023-10-03 01:07

I played this game for about an hour.

deppong 2023-10-03 01:15

Really addicting! Not really lacking, could be more of an original concept but otherwise an extremely fun game. Embarrassed to say how long I have spent playing it! (Plus the little dudes are super cute!)

game too addictive, spending too much time on this than playing other jam games

2023-10-03 06:25

I love the art, they're so cute.

robbzenone 2023-10-03 06:46

Great game. I have a high score of 1286. I would have liked to see which Denpa I'll get next to plan better. :)

anya-voinova 2023-10-03 06:57

Сute and fun!

pierre-marie 2023-10-03 08:08

It's really cute and fun to play, well done!

2023-10-03 09:57

Very fun game, simple but cute!

wolderado 2023-10-03 13:58

They are so cute :smile: Gameplay is simple but it's very fun!

svkj 2023-10-03 14:36

Brilliant game, played this for longer than I was expecting

dreamscale 2023-10-03 14:47

Really fun and great use of the theme!

kasmilus 2023-10-03 15:54

1580! Nice game. Very cute and it feel really good when you are so close to losing and suddenly a huge combo saves you!

bellicapelli 2023-10-03 18:26

I could not stop playing it!

Both figuratively and literally, I couldn't seem to game over :)

pro4 2023-10-03 19:14

Best I could do was 1773, but it was super fun playing this! I think this would be great to ship as is to mobile and people will eat this up! Fantastic job.

akitl 2023-10-03 19:35

realy fun long life to the denpos

vary 2023-10-03 20:32

As others have said, I couldn't stop playing it. It's simple but done well and it's addictive and fun. Having a chain reaction go off is so satisfying. And the music! The music loop never got old! Great game.

(edit: be honest, did you guys want Tiny Creatures to win? Cause I sure did. And these are some adorable little guys.)

viktorthegreat 2023-10-04 00:46

I swear every time I died, I would think 'OK, just one more time, just one more'. It might be fatigue from playing too much, or maybe it's the way scores are calculated, but I swear there were times where I felt like I was doing really well, only to look over and see I had a really low score (compared to previous rounds). I think that's my only issue with it, which is really saying something!

spike-studio 2023-10-04 04:18

This game was so polished, and the core gameplay loop was so nice. Great job!

neeko69 2023-10-04 04:52

Very well done game, very fun and addictive! The art style is very good

ogelgames 2023-10-04 06:00

Your game is fun, in fact it's too fun! I got addicted to it and played it for way too long XD

vulkaara 2023-10-04 06:19

Saw this on stream and decided to give it a go! Super solid entry, lots of fun! Played for awhile, final score 5140. Concurring with others that any tetris like view next dempo or ability to store one for later would've been great. Was so close to finding another new one hehe.

Love it, much more fun than I expected. Once you start you can't stop

VERY amazing game with cute characters and very satifsying design, i ended up playing this for a couple hours and i still dont know what feedback to give other than it was AMAZING.

benjamin 2023-10-04 11:02

Simple gameplay but good execution ! Some very small animations on character's faces when they collide could add a lot life to the game.

amarokczukay 2023-10-04 11:48

this was so fun to play! a great twist on 2048 that leads to many more strategies! art is very cute indeed, i was not fan of the music but the UI sliders are for that :) this is so hard but so addicting (as you can see, i've played some games lol but unfortunately i can't get the last denpal) great job!

walaber 2023-10-04 18:07

what a simple, great concept! it took me a while to realize that the shooter was turning into what the next shot would be. perhaps a slight bounce when it transitions would help draw the eye there and make that a bit more evident. super engaging to play, great work!

farouchelark 2023-10-04 18:09

This was super fun and addictive. Loved it.

rafael-garcez 2023-10-04 19:15

Loved it! Leaderboards would have been nice! Well done!

blazejmg917 2023-10-04 21:35

this game was very fun! I had a great time with it!

yndajas 2023-10-04 21:50

I used to love these kinds of games and this take on the genre is absolute 🔥🔥🔥! I love the cute art, the physics, the fact that you don't lose by filling the rectangle but by filling it so much that the denpals fall out, discovering new denpals, and the exhilarating rush of a beautiful chain reaction! Fantastic work!

random-storykeeper 2023-10-05 01:11

This game is just a little too addicting, which is an absolutely fantastic thing. Combining the characters together was very satisfying and I like that their larger size takes up less space, but makes them less prone to matching. Sometimes I feel like I'm almost going to lose, but then I get a good combination and seeing all those characters get set off by each other just makes it all the more fun. I also really like the music - it was just the perfect sort of tone for this kind of game and complemented the graphics and gameplay quite well. The art for the characters was also very cute. I'm not familiar with Denpafish but this was an aesthetic I very much enjoyed.

I appreciate the sliders, but I noticed that the game registers actions while using the sliders, so when I tried to adjust the music volume for example, it fired off a character in that direction. Not sure if that was mentioned, but I was playing in the web version and that's what happened to me. The physics also seemed to be less forgiving in this - there were a lot of times when I thought I could push over other characters already in bin to nudge them towards others, but they often didn't budge as much as I thought they would. I think I'd get used to it after playing for a while, though I was a little taken aback by it.

But aside from that, I think this is a very good entry. I really like that you don't lose when you hit the top, rather when a character falls off. That makes for some great opportunities for comebacks when you're just on the verge of losing. I didn't do super well in my few attempts, but I feel like I will be coming back to this one later.

Spent WAY too much time playing this game...

And I regret nothing! Denpo is adorbo!

minjutin 2023-10-05 16:29

Will I ever win denpo? The most addictive game I have found till now (and I've played like 80 games). I can feel my IQ decreasing while my need to play more denpo increases. That's all I can say. I will recommend this to all my friends. You should make this a mobile game too, would love to play it during my bus trips

pro4 2023-10-07 00:03

Finally got a super lucky run with a score of 2786. again, great job on this one. very fun

sean-esopenko 2023-10-07 16:48

I love the cute characters and after a few clicks I figured out how the game works. Great job, it's an accessible game that's quick to grasp and the art's great.

somewan 2023-10-07 17:20

It's just so adorable! The physics-based collisions are perfectly balanced in terms of elasticity. I would suggest changing the cover image. The current cover image doesn't really showcase the game's cuteness, and it almost made me hesitate to click on it.

primed-pixel 2023-10-08 12:13

Really cute, really well balanced, and a really fun time! I loved how satisfying chaining a bunch of combinations is, and overall how bloody addicting the whole thing is. Amazing entry :)

ricardobusta 2023-10-08 13:16

One of the best entries i've played so far! Really balanced game, with fun graphics, good and addictive gameplay and nice level of polish. And very into the theme. Didn't knew the characters, but they really matched the type of game :D Congratulations! :star::star::star::star::star:

notnasiul 2023-10-08 14:09

So absurdly fun!! Would love a bit more juice when you merge creatures, although it already feels great with you make combos! Well done!

jotson 2023-10-08 14:32

Pretty fun based on the number of times I played it!

moonlightbomber 2023-10-08 23:11

5 across the board because of its pick-up-and-play mentality, plus the adorable graphics.

minjutin 2023-10-09 12:36

Okay so, I've spend like +12 hours playing this game, after perfecting my every move this is the best I can do. I still need to know what happens if you combine two biggies (will they disappear? will I win the game? Is there another secret denpo hiding somewhere?). ALSO, figured out that you actually CAN play denpo with your mobile phone. There is no turning back now. Perfect balance.png Tbh I should maybe play some other games too

nadia-pixel 2023-10-09 18:41

Cute. game, interesting to play, but the concept is almost exactly as in 2048. It's no problem though

unitedfailures 2023-10-11 01:20

Damn, I was really hoping to be the top leaderboard score here :pensive:

Great game though, I had a lot of fun!

tpace 2023-10-11 18:39

Dangerously addicting.

wendel-scardua 2023-10-12 14:27

I'm not familiar with Denpafish (I assume it's a vtuber?), are these Denpals something from there or did you created them for this game? They're cute anyway :)

artofluba 2023-10-13 22:24

I love the art because bunnies and monsters are my thing! My fav is the ghost bunny. I'm not entirely sure how to get rid of the grey ones which seem to jam up my screen haha.

le-don 2023-10-15 10:32

Great game! Reminds me a lot of that fruit game that seems to be popular right now. I only thought the readability of the faces and the ascending order of them isn't that clear and intuitive. But again, this is a great game.

deseteral 2023-10-16 00:05

By far my favourite LD54 game :D
