Fun game with an interesting take on the tiny creatures theme! I enjoyed protecting my bugs from the other insects! Thanks for submitting! :)

chocolat-endive 2024-10-07 22:46

Nice little game with cute music! Controls are a bit weird: there seems to be a way to bypass most of the game mechanics by drag and dropping the slugs to the other side of the road.

very fun gameplay loop!

paul-viu 2024-10-07 22:47

im too bad but it was very fun ! 5 level for a jam wow !

tori 2024-10-07 22:49

Bohhhh poor animal :( ... I struggled a bit with the control at first but i think you did a good job still :)

mael-rios 2024-10-07 22:50

@chocolat-endive AHAHAHHAHA you found the game breaking bug. This will definitely be fixed tomorrow XD. Thanks for finding it for us, playtests exist for a reason

chocolat-endive 2024-10-07 22:53

@mael-rios that's what makes game jams interesting! :D

pigeonescu 2024-10-07 23:00

A bit frustrating, but fun. Cool game!

telo-philippe 2024-10-07 23:01

@chocolat-endive it's fixed, thank you so much !!

kaviasko 2024-10-07 23:11

Noo my baby slugs!! They had to die!!!! Fun game, very suspensful :o

ionbingo 2024-10-07 23:13

Really neat. Love that they explode too, makes losing one not so bad

jacob-vandomelen 2024-10-07 23:43

This was pretty fun and cute too. Definitely one of the most interesting ideas here with the animal management combined with frogger! I felt like I mostly ignored the first lane by flinging them at full intensity but it was still fun. Gj!

dianavi 2024-10-08 01:08

Not bad, simple concept. It might be a little hard to understand how to play at first, but once you get it, it’s cool!

emmagsmith 2024-10-08 01:19

The slugs are cute and the gameplay was fun! I like the timing element

barryrichter 2024-10-08 01:23

Fun little game. I liked the difficulty of it

pachino55 2024-10-08 03:29

Took me a second to figure out what to do, but when I did, it was pretty fun

sviborg 2024-10-08 07:16

🌟 Great game with an interesting concept! The graphics and music really add to the charm and the gameplay itself was addictive. Although there were some issues with the controls and I felt like I didn't always know what to do, once I figured it out it was a lot more fun! πŸŒπŸ’¨ It was great! πŸŽ‰πŸ‘

telo-philippe 2024-10-08 08:32

@sviborg thanks for your kind feedback! I just added some instructions on the page, it's true that it isn't very clear what the player is supposed to do hahaha

iaroslavik 2024-10-08 09:49

Very fun, good job

kluvenlaroplan 2024-10-08 11:46

I enjoy your take on the theme a lot! - Love to see slugs getting some love <3

I enjoyed it, was a nice take on the Frogger ish styled mechanic, it was quite satisfying flinging over the slugs - I did not quite understand the predator mechanic however, did not notice any slugs being eaten and for me it mostly became just another piece I simply flung over to get some points after domesticating them.

I also really loved how when something died, they turned into an explosiony fire sprite, which was hilarious to imagine these little Slugs just exploding on contact XD

rincat 2024-10-08 14:19

pretty fun once i figured it out

gerrit 2024-10-08 14:24

Very cute graphics and a nice implementation of your idea! I don't quite understand why I lost the game sometimes, even though I saved so many animals!

You game does not become boring, good job!

rum-ham 2024-10-08 14:24

Cute Game! I loved the jingle lol hope it was original. Frogs OP

edali 2024-10-08 14:33

@gerrit Thank you for your kind review! you have a limited time per level, and if there are no animals left in the pen , before you manage to reach the score, you lose the level.Thanks for playing!

telo-philippe 2024-10-08 14:57

@rum-ham It is! It was made on the second day :) Frogs OP

joror 2024-10-08 15:57

Fun throw-er! Sluggies are def too slow to handle - frogs are easy peasy. Chickens... they never cross the road!

Couldn't finish the last level, but I played till I got there, so nice loop!

kirass 2024-10-08 17:16

Funny game! I liked it!

beelzeboss 2024-10-08 17:20

Surprisingly tense game. Interesting idea and execution. Good job!

pijinguy 2024-10-08 17:29

a really fun game. wish there was a sprooch sound effect. but the gameplay is pretty thrilling. would love to see this expanded. great job!

Winnar!!! Pog

rkhadder 2024-10-08 17:50

Had a really great time tossing those slugs! Great submission!

mael-rios 2024-10-08 20:12

@pijinguy that is a good idea! A sprooch sound is fun 🀣🀣

zyppi 2024-10-08 23:06

Really fun to play game.

imberny 2024-10-09 00:33

Too bad you can't do anything if a car spawns after you've launched your critter. It feels like you just need to keep trying until you get good rng.

hotaloca 2024-10-09 05:40

I like the concept of the game it's simple and easy to understand and the goal is cute. I found it a bit hard to pick up the animals, maybe this could have been a bit more generous. Also I felt I cannot keep up with all the spawning amount of animals and it's really not possible to get all of them to safety? Also sometimes it felt indeed unfair you get them started and the truck you never see coming would come and hit them so give me sometimes no chance?

poboy 2024-10-09 05:48

Aw yeah I love this FUCK the government

Very fun, the frogs are too good, they probably had some experience/trauma from Frogger

I got through all five levels. Music is a bop and the smiling slug decal kills me

thegreatcarpet 2024-10-09 23:27

A fun and simple game). I really liked her, and I even got carried away with her... I reached level 3, but I couldn't get any further. Cool game!

alem26 2024-10-10 09:14

This is genuinely one of the best GameJame games that I have ever played. The art is super cute and the entire game coherent theme-wise! I had no bugs at all, the gameplay was super fun and I was actually invested in my little creatures :)

Music was fun too, a seemsless loop would have been a bit better ;) Keep up the good work, this is a prime example of a game jam game!

03gramat 2024-10-10 09:22

Fun play on Frogger, I enjoyed it a lot

enderswype 2024-10-14 16:30

didnt expect wroms to be that fast haha

thatsommes 2024-10-14 20:19

Very interesting take on Frogger, Quite fun and relaxing

conor-wilson 2024-10-15 10:16

This is a great little gem :) loved it and genuinely might come back for it

aviv-levy 2024-10-15 11:28

Cute game! Sometimes picking animals didn't work correctly. Those cars are cruel 😡

nrankin13 2024-10-16 02:32

Three things:

1. As you can probably tell based on my profile picture, I have a certain affinity for those that distrust the government.

2. I love Frogger.

3. I also enjoy sportsball games where a gauge is necessary to hit the ball further (ex. PGA Tour).

This game combines all three. I have no further comments beyond the perennial "Well done..."

EDIT: Ok, there is one thing: sometimes I can't pick up critters, and was unable to do so for 30+ seconds.

sasa-2010 2024-10-19 09:25

Wow! The game is so wonderful! Keep making games!

vodzik 2024-10-20 01:41

Fun little game.

I think interaction sounds could add much to this.

Good job. I like the art style.

philstrahl 2024-10-27 01:05

That game brought the most cynical farmer out in me, "just throw them all on the highway and hope that one survives!" πŸ˜… For your records, here’s the recorded stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eJqrAXg0kg

alem26 2024-10-27 09:52

Coming back after seeing the results. And well, I would have absolutely seen Slug Sprooch in the top 50 at least. Not really sure why you guys were ranked so relatively low, but let me tell you, your game is awesome and one of my favourites this jam as I wrote before!

lou-tremolieres 2024-10-27 10:30

Thank you everyone for playing our game and for the nice comments ! It was a pleasure doing this jam !

edali 2024-10-27 10:30

@alem26 thank you, this means so much to us, i am very glad you loved our game. We are still very proud of our scores and hope to do even better next time!
