I love the adorable little guys

Hey! I actually just saw your other work, Summon Dots the other day. Glad to see you in this jam as well! I think you're onto something with the game, and it's reasonable that with the time scope, things won't always end up perfect sometimes. There's no need to feel sorry and I'd say you're already doing an impressive job completing this!

Observing the "little creatures", slimes, and affecting them from a human perspective is such a great idea, and I love the vibe you're creating with your art in this game. The change of the shades and time goes by, the passing clouds...they're shaping up a great mood. Player agency is something I would like from the game--how would my actions matter? I see that the slimes are having their life, eating stuff, mating and dying. Perhaps if I do something, I would help more slimes to survive, or a colony might grow, instead of die out because of my actions? All in all, I love your art style, and the concept behind this game definitely has potential. Good job!

Funny game. I like style :thumbsup:

I like the concept a lot! Almost like a choose your own adventure: you choose what part of the story you want to see, and you don't get to see the rest of the field, but that's alright because that's part of the experience.

There wasn't a whole lot to see the bugs do to fill all 15:00 hours in game, so the hours probably could have been a bit shorter. But otherwise didn't feel like it needed much else than you put into it, and I enjoyed the experience.

Nice art style of this game, like to check ii from new perspective. Good entry!

Loved this one! It's an extremely simple idea but you managed to get a lot out of it. The idea of using a magnifying glass to get a better look at these small critters is fun in itself, and it was honestly pretty fun even without much going on, mechanically. Very well done.

The perspective of observing the little creatures through a magnifying glass is awesome! I really enjoy doing that.

Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!

Cute idea! Always feels good to find an effective art style given the game design!

karamelika22 2024-10-09 21:10

Cool game idea, quite fun and interesting to play it

stormburpee 2024-10-10 05:08

The idea is great, and you found a great way to merge it with the art style. Good work! Please keep developing this!

look-for-happiness 2024-10-10 09:05

@stormburpee I'm quite glad you like it, but it's just a little sparkle in LD giving a cozy feeling, that's enough, so the further development depends. Thanks again :)

atmospheric game, good work, thanks to the magnifying glass the gameplay is unique, and the musical accompaniment adds immersion to the gameplay

nazariglez 2024-10-10 18:36

Really loved the concept! The magnifying glass was a fun touch, and the cozy art style fit perfectly. It would be cool if the slimes reacted more to what the player did. Gj!

I did not realize my first time around that clicking actually did anything, which completely changed the vibe of the game lol I felt so helpless!

Gave it a second go after checking the page again and got the intended experience, beautiful little game

look-for-happiness 2024-10-11 10:08

@mal I will do better guidance in next game, thanks for playing :)
