Cute game! My snake SWEPT everyone else. Enjoyed the DIY sound effects a lot. Some more intel on the various stats of the critters would help with coming up with strategies, but it wasn't too tough. Great compo entry. :3

Very impressive submission!
The artwork looks great and the audio was funny and charming. For some reason the opponent was missing their head.
while more gameplay would be nice, for what was done in the time given it was good!
@decadedecaf Thank you! I refined the description of how the stats work in the wall of text above. Thanks for giving it a try and well done crushing your enemy!
@meepster Oh no! That's a funny bug I haven't seen yet. Thanks for giving it a go! I agree that it needs more gameplay. Ran out of time to add more animals, but my daughter game be a whole list of things she expects be to add now :joy:
This is very cute and silly!
Great graphics and sounds. I look forward to more level content!
Neat little framework you have for going forward, as well as charming art. Would have loved to see a special ability. Like it for the bee it would be cool if it killed whatever the opponent had out, but then died itself (cause bees lose their stingers and all that). Alas, those time limits are tough haha.
@phlip45 Thanks! I like that idea for the bee. I was also thinking about having the squirrel be able to avoid damage on a dice roll if it's faster than the opponent. Things like that. But like you said. Time limits are a tough. It seems like people are liking the core though. So maybe I'll expand it in the future.
Cute graphics and audio. I think the gameplay could use some help, atm, it feels a bit basic.
Summon the viper!!!
@ooboob Thanks for the feedback and for giving it a try! I 100% agree. I ran out of time to get it more fleshed out and add more critters.
Super cute graphics for the time we had! Fun gameplay as well, I crushed em hah.
Love the cute art !!
Cute game! Snake op!
My opponent was also missing their head, but what an adorable entry. Clicked around and things happened!
Really great compo entry! Excellent character design and animation, especially with the time and resource limits--they're all very cute
haha i love the tick sound effect. great entry for compo, congrats!
Hi, I had some trouble loading the game on Firefox, but worked perfectly on Chrome! The game is very cute, I like the vibe a lot!
The game is nice, I had a similar idea but decided to go in other direction. You did it well. It's hard to find a good balance in this kind of games. Well done.
Great submission! It's kind of hard to balance a game like that. Currently the strategy is just to spawn one-two cheap critters and then always go for snakes. I think a relatively easy addition for the depth of the game would be extra lines for fighting - something similar to what Marvel Snap has (and many-many other games lol). So if you would add a top and bottom lane I think it would make the game a lot more engaging with some good choices in place. But of course time restrains are brutal and we all want to do so much and are able to do so little :sweat_smile:
so simple but funny, love this game so much,wish for more content
I really liked it. I would have loved some more agency in combat, but considering time constraints, it's fine as it is.
Great job.
Art and sound were great for this! Love the little sound effects for each animal lol. Thought it all came together really nicely
"heya" "dingg" - love it
I like it! My snake were really strong, the art is cool also. I wish it was longer!
The overall style fits nicely together. It need some decent audio? I think it's fine as is. :D Great job!
Like the visuals and music. The gameplay feels a bit random, but it's not too bad. I overall liked it.
