Really creative game! It took me a lot of time but I'm still stuck on the level with the boulder/rock on top. Still, it was enjoying!

Really creative game! It took me a lot of time but I'm still stuck on the level with the boulder/rock on top. Still, it was enjoying!
super cute and interesting concept! really enjoyed it
A very good puzzle with so many levels! I used a hint on the level with the stone, but otherwise, in my opinion, it's the perfect balance of difficulty. Awesome!
Loved the puzzles in this one, very clever! I think there was a misunderstanding with the last mechanic. Maybe it was because the first subject wasn't exactly the same as later.
Nonetheless, good job!
"Only 10 levels"? Thats so many, give yourself more credit for one weekend! I'm glad to finally find someone else who went with squirrels as their main tiny animal haha. Super enjoyed this puzzle game, and I found myself actually getting stuck and having to think about some of these, which is not common on game jam puzzle games usually. Great use of the tiny animals theme, but just a note it did feel like placing the tiny squirrels was a bit tedious because of how many (30+ every level) and how they they are. I also think resetting should have been introduced first, in case of a soft lock on the level before its introduced.
I love the core mechanic of the game - it's easy to understand and super flexible to make creative levels with! I had tons of fun gluing together the little squirrels. Art is also charming - nice job!
Amazing level of polish for a game jam submission. The tutorial was so smooth and simple to follow. The art was unique and different. The mechanics were really easy to get a hold of and the levels got progressively difficult.
Well done!
I very love a squirrel. Also a very cool start screen
My favourite game so far in this game jam! Really cool mechanic and you've designed some really interesting levels. I really liked the importance of the environment to progress, and it's an awesome job for 3 days of work!
Very nice and atmospheric
Creative design! I really enjoyed the last level with the swinging rock—it took me a while to figure it out. The impressive number of levels, along with the thoughtful design that builds up to the final stage, is commendable. The music is great, and the pop sound is very satisfying. From the moment I started, I knew I had to finish this! So, a job very well done!
Really great puzzles that get progressively harder. At the moment I'm stuck on the one where you only build have a bridge. I'll get back to it later; I simply *have* to finish this haha
Also what do you mean "only 10 levels"???? That's a lot for a jam game, especially for a puzzle game! This is seriously good work!
SO was looking with me and was giggling how the squirrel moved, and I agree it looks funny yet cute. It took me a bit to figure out the game but soon as I did... Very fun puzzles, the atmosphere, design and all fit well together. I noticed my character in one of the levels slowly moving to the left as if by wind while I was figuring out how to build with the few I had.
What a fun and cute experience!
Others have said this already but this is one of the most creative games I've played so far! I love how the building is quick and intuitive (e.g. to make a bridge I can just aim where I want to go and spam click). I could see this being a full-release puzzle game with some polish and more content. Great job! :smile:
How can you not love a game that lets you build things like that out of squirrels :grin:

Nice level design and good difficulty progress. The levels feel creative and unique, each having its own gimmick. The squirrels physics :upside_down: feel good and work well. I also adore the jumping animation with the wiggling. I felt that jumping did not always "fire" when you were trying to jump off your squirrel buddies while running. But that's really the only complaint I have, and it might just be me :wink:
A successful level design that ensures the perfect progression of difficulty in the game. At first, I thought it was too easy, but after a few levels, I changed my mind- it's good. The art is minimalist, but that’s what gives it its charm and beauty. The music and sounds blend perfectly with the visuals. Well done!
I like the mood of the game, the paper Mario style movement and the peaceful music that fit the wildlife. Good job :)
The main mechanic is quite clever, and it's so fun to think how you can create the shapes you need to solve the puzzle. I also really loved the art style, is simple and cute. I could imagine in the future you could animation the little squirrels and it would look so cute like they're trying to help and hold the shape together. Great work ^^
good mechanic with some challenging puzzles, the super dramatic music caught me a bit off guard but i liked it nonetheless, would love to see this get expanded upon!
I liked the bridge building mechanic and the puzzles! Physics felt a little floaty but overall felt nice to play :)
Was very pleasantly surprised how intuitively everything worked.
Verrry creative game, and genuinely ingeneous puzzles for such a short development time. I'm very impressed with this and would love to see it expanded into a full game :)
Really great game... I had heaps of fun with it and could see it being developed further.
I'd love to be able to just click and drag to place the squirrels. And my only real complaint: please change or remove the audio, does not match the vibe of the game.
But that's nitpicking, because I had a great time with the game overall, well done!
perfectly ballanced, as all things should be-

anyways, i love this mechanic! It is silly and really fun to play, i really felt like an squirrel enjeneer B) Oveall a solid game! And 10 levels is a loooot for just a weekend, really cool!
It was a very fun time playing and I finished it without ANY hints héhé :) It lack just an ending screen after the picky stone (to screenshot for those who finish the game.) Very epic choice of music haha and i love the player face ^^ Nice gameplay idea that evolve with levels !
This game has such a fun idea! The puzzles are creative, clever, and challenging (that stone was tricky!). And it's hilarious to see so many squirrels tied together lol! The art is also super cute! Overall, it's a well-done fun game. Great work!
