Nice game!

Really well done! The characters are adorable and the back and forth chatter between them is really entertaining. I loved the plot twist at the end too! :D

It *is* charming, but the mechanics are... Just quite torturous to play. You know exactly what needs to happen, but actioning it is another thing. I wonder if the same mechanics would be more fun if you controlled the hand with the mouse cursor? Other than that, the writing is fun, the characters are fun :)

It's a pretty entertaining and interesting game. The gameplay could be more appealing, but the story behind is the best of it by far, and the end is shocking :/

@guadalupe-murgo, @clare-chan1738, @tuism, @braulio-jg, thank you all so much for your feedback - it truly helps me. By the way, there's an alternate second ending. If you enjoyed the game, try to discover the other ending!

Nice entry, I found this to be a lot of fun. I enjoyed the gameplay, but the wind felt a tiny bit too strong, which was slightly frustrating, but didn't keep me from finishing the game. What a twist at the end!

The gameplay feels unique, but gets a little tedious once you're controlling all 10 characters. Othwerise, the story and characters are really adorable! I murdered them all at the end, and then replayed to get the good ending (although I'm not sure what happens if you split between the two endings).

Great game about tiny creatures. Nice art and colors of them, which is emphased when they arranges in various patterns when you move them. Unexpected moral story ending. Level with wind took some time, but well, you can group them beforehand (oh, pun). Liked reference to 4 elements (rocks scared me, but they just staying firm later) Good luck!

I like the color of the creatures, They look delicious, like fruit sweets, good game!

conor-wilson 2024-10-11 14:25

Love all the creature designs, great application of the theme :)

kristirose88 2024-10-11 14:29

The tiny creatures in this game are adorable! I enjoyed the little story, too. Great work!

brinnykk 2024-10-13 13:50

I love the game! The tiny creatures are really adorable!

tritotv 2024-10-13 18:20

Love the game and the character design!

iovorobiev 2024-10-13 21:28

Love how this game does more with minimum.

Very nice art style, the creatures are cute, and the gameplay is easy to understand.

I wish I didn't need to kill these cute creatures in the end! Would be nice to have alternative ending :)

milq 2024-10-13 22:13

@iovorobiev, thanks for your review. There are two different endings in the game. Thanks for playing! :smile:

cronno 2024-10-14 04:03

The character designs and the story are really great. I love the ending. The gameplay reminds me of the goat herding minigame from Twilight Princess.

ronn-fever 2024-10-14 06:57

Yo another Godot game! There's been so many of these, and I love seeing it. I also love the little creatures you've created, their design reminds me of old arcade games, and they have a lot of personality in so few pixels. The mechanics are quite fun, although I do think you could expand on them some, and I love that I don't seem to be able to die, everything just sorta gets in my way and increases difficulty, but nothing is punishing or makes me reset progress. I enjoyed trying to help these little guys get home - great game.

thaprofesional 2024-10-14 07:13

Really cool game mechanics, and enough levels / room to really explore them. Also really cool graphics and I loved the way things jiggled around. Great sound effects - a cool and effective story.

Missed music, and found the challenge more.. frustrating than exciting. Maybe it would have been different if the stakes were higher?

Really cool idea realised into an original and well polished game :)

crocidb 2024-10-14 18:28

I appreciate the simplicity. Really cute and polished, the movement of the creatures is really satisfying! Good job!

chusmimax 2024-10-15 17:05

Neat game. I liked both endings, the good one and the pacifist one (You are missing on a lot of proteins letting your meal escape like that).

byshla 2024-10-17 19:55

Really nice game, made for compo! I like the minimalism in game! Also you took a good idea for the topic. Really good job!

wildcodeplay 2024-10-18 08:37

Thanks for the game. So far you have the tiniest creatures I have seen in this game jam :D. The mechanics are little awkward, but interesting. I think the hand would be played much easier with a mouse instead of the keyboard arrows.

silkworm-sweatshop 2024-10-18 19:17

Great use of the theme! That cloud was quite frustrating but that was the point :sweat_smile:. Nice little story, I got both endings in the end.

henk 2024-10-19 14:01

A fun short story! I managed to get both endings. At first I thought there'd be a special ending if you crushed the little creatures with a rock, but alas, it's not possible.

The hand should probably be bounded to the screen space, since it's possible to move it off-screen and then forget where it is, forcing a level restart.

bradur 2024-10-22 12:07

The story is a bit silly but also sort of endearing. Moving the creatures really feels like a chore but it fits the story well because they truly are helpless little dummies 😅.

untitled-studios 2024-10-23 07:05

I very much enjoyed the story! The characters are cute and very charming. I like the art and sfx here as well.

The gameplay is... bad. I felt unsure if I was missing something the whole time, and at its worst it almost led me to abandon the game despite my investment in finding out what was going on.

I loved the twist ending.

luis-priego-cuenca 2024-10-23 16:56

Better late than never, I've finally been able to play your game and I really loved it. It's true that it's much shorter and a more reduced experience than the previous edition, but other than that, every year I've seen improvements in your quality and personality, which I would say is the most important thing. Your games, despite being simpler, have more and more charisma, you know that I'm looking forward to us collaborating again in some jam, let's see what comes out of it.

zimny11 2024-10-23 18:25

That was fun! Tere is something really satisfying in moving creatures in this manner. The sound effects for text appearing is a bit much in case of some creatures, beside that good job with the game!
