This game wasn't really feeling it. I'm pretty certain that the assets used weren't made in the 48 hours. If they were, then man, you'd have the skills to make everything else *not* a white cube. With compo submissions, the requirement is that the project is all you, in 48 hours. Also, the controls are unintuitive and hard to get used to. Also, missing a way to exit the game without alt+f4.

I don't understand what is going on

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-15 05:54

@vegeo My bad.I thought opt-out of Graphics category will be ok

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-15 06:20

@lightningst I've added some descriptions for the rules.

Interesting game! I like it!

@kirass Thanks a lot for playing and commenting

This game is super addicting, i love discovering everything you can get in the game! I did stay in Day 1 for a very long time, forgetting to progress the game LOL but it was a lot of fun!

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-18 02:12

@xry Haha, thanks for playing, the numerical aspect of the game is not very well done, will adjust and add more item types and items in the future

xry 2024-04-18 06:07

My friend needs to know, Is there a dinosaur in the game? Thanks

Also, it's not very relevant, but I found a lot of joy in using momentum to throw large objects like the animals up and out of of the play area into the sky.

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-18 11:20

@xry There's no dinosaurs.I realized while developing it that flinging your head and dropping the item can make it fly extra far

Seeing a zebra o crocodile appear out of thin air is funny. I wish there was something in game to keep me going, like a story. You could also add an in game tutorial to make it more clear what we're trying to achieve.

I think the animal & food mechanics are clever and unique: I don't remember seeing them anywhere else. Great job with coming up with all these ideas and putting a game together! Good luck with your future projects!

@woona Thanks for the play and feedback! I'll be adding some new, more driven goals afterward.

Choosing animals and foods is a trade-off between short-term gains and long-term gains. I want the player to make a trade-off when they're just a little bit short of money: gamble on the luck of the draw, or deduct life points to stabilize gains

Pretty interesting game. Overall quite confusing but fun to just play around and discover the mechanics.

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-21 07:19

@julian-france Thanks playing.I got the submission rules wrong, I should add some newbie tutorials

djtequila 2024-04-22 22:22

Once I understood the rules, I was getting hyped for lions and urns! Weirdly scratches the gambling itch :laughing: Can be a bit hard to tell what's going on at times. I suppose chaos is part of the fun. Some feedback to the player would be nice though (sound effects, particles, UI, etc.)

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-23 02:28

@djtequila Thanks for the play.Next time I'll be sure to add some sound effects and a tutorial!

joe40001 2024-04-27 12:17

Quite innovative. The gameplay loop didn't hold me for long, but I appreciated how out there the idea was and how many mechanics seemed to be underneath everything.

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-27 14:38

@joe40001 Thanks playing, When I have time I'll make the game's objectives a bit more clear and engaging

petr-vejchoda 2024-04-27 16:55

How do you feed the animals???

xuanqiuyun 2024-04-28 09:43

@petr-vejchoda Animals will eat at the end of each day
