Very cool concept for a logic puzzle game! I was also impressed to read that you made this in your own custom engine.

stumped on 5

Clever design! I'm fascinated by this art style

I love it! It's cute and relaxing, but also makes you think. From level 5 things got tough, and I had to change some of my assumptions about the animals to make it work. Pretty proud I got through all the levels:) I would definitely like to play it more. Well done! Screenshot_20241007-095431.png

Great game! 🎮 The idea is charming, and the visual style is simply amazing! 😍 The logical puzzles make you think, and with each level it becomes more and more interesting. In addition, the relaxing atmosphere and music make the process even more enjoyable. I was especially impressed that the game was created on its own engine - that's cool! 🚀

This is cool! I love animal puzzles in custom js engines! :) I feel like I didn't quite always grasp how the 'happiness' mechanic worked, and I ended up solving a couple puzzles by trial-and-error, but I like the idea a lot. The capybara using its calming presence to fix things that would ordinarily invalidate the puzzle was a cool idea, for example. Also the art style is nice.

I'd love to see an expanded version of this with more puzzles to fill out the 'learning curve,' so to speak.

Perfectly quaint! Beautiful game, nice puzzles too!

wow very interesting pazzle and unique!

I love this cozy aesthetic! :slight_smile:

At first I was a little worried that the game was going to be a bit too "cerebral" for my tired brain, but I was delighted to discover just how flexible the game's systems are to allow for multiple different solutions (or at least, that's what it feels like).

Your minimalist UI, and *especially* your "happiness" indicators, go a really long way in easing the player's mental burden as they try to solve your intimidating-looking puzzles.

Proud to say I was able to see this one through to the end! Great job!

Fun game and art style! Overall, the puzzle design was great, especially for a game jam, but I didn't manage to solve level 5; I think it's quite a jump in difficulty, introducing two animals at once. I also found the happiness mechanic unintuitive, so a short tutorial would be good!

Very challenging puzzle this. Excellent presentation of sound and visuals. Clear instructions and a clean interface make this easy to play leaving the challenge to come from the game itself not from any bugs or janky interfaces so well done! A nice game jam game that does what it sets out to do and is a good experience. Really nice work!

Really enjoyed this - a chill lil game, very cute. Had to trial and error sometimes because the dots/moods of the animals didn't quite make sense to me.

Cute, though ultimately quite average. I think it could benefit from a bit more flair.

kirass 2024-10-08 18:17

Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!

Nice that you made it in your own engine! Not totally sure I understand the rules, but seems like a nice puzzle

nick-halstead 2024-10-08 20:26

I don't know how I did #5 but 6 has me stumped! First puzzle game I've seen so far. Calming music to help me think, cool graphics, and fun mechanics that we get eased into from too easy to (for me) too hard!

Update: I had one rabbit left and I just beat 6 :))

Very fun! tiny-territories.png

Cool game idea, I really liked it) It's also a very pleasant style of play and I'm amazed that it was done on a personal engine.

@nick-halstead Ha! you found it

nick-halstead 2024-10-09 15:11

@willby I only just beat it. It was TOUGH!

kultuk 2024-10-10 14:25
