Fun goofy game it crashed a couple times and i like the idea!

ategon 2024-10-08 07:31

@ascenial What caused crashes for you?

ascenial 2024-10-08 07:36

@ategon i had bought a farm i think and dragged the dragon looking guy im it, then the other time was random. I really liked your game though!

Didn't crash on me. I had to crash it or I would played for hours

Nice and chill game. Loved the art.

greaa!I like it!

Nice chill idle game! Cool that Godot is capable of something like this, and definitely something I could see myself sinking untold hours into in between working on other projects. Good job!

Filled my screen with windows, very addicting

Neat game, felt pretty polished overall. Did end up crashing around 60 gold and 10+ windows. I also noticed (when I accidentally hit it) that T will spawn free spaces and ended up with 20+ windows at one point. Overall fits the theme and a good idle game!

I really want to play more!! I can't wait for post jam stufff!!!!!!

Thought this game was so cute! I could totally imagine just having this up in the corner of my computer, clicking on little dragons throughout the day

Came here from Tobugis stream. As I said there - art is gorgeous! I love it. Creatures are cute, and the theme is well incorporated (also tiny screens add to it!)

And I really like the idea of the game with its idle nature. Actually oftentimes I use those kinda games (like Gourdlets, or "games" with timer like Lofi sessions) while working and this is a fresh take for me!

Only the pause button is right in the corner where "x" is for all the windows on my laptop so I can't close or minimize (- button) anything (like Chrome, Discord) while this game is on ^^''

I was playing for a while and never saw any creatures wander into Forest or Lake areas, and then I noticed then I can drag them manually to those areas. Guess I didn't realise they appear in the Wild and then I keep them in those areas?? ^^''

Great job on this entry! I really enjoyed playing it on stream and if only the background transparency worked on my laptop I would have it running now, I will check my driver update when I wake up :id:

I really see potential in a game that can be played in the background when working, with a tiny bit more mechanic and a slower pace, this could be an amazing idle game to have while coding!

The art is really cute too!

Really nice and relaxing game! Love the art style, especially the upgrade menu looks super clean! Kind of wish it matter in while window type each creature wanted to live it and if you put in the wrong one they would leave after a while, or something. Music is really chill. The multi-window idea is are fun to play around. Good job!

yooo i can't believe you made this last minute hahaha xD i'm gonna play again soon so i can put a big screenshot here - i didnt get one from my last run bc my it crashed from an infinite penguin glitch i was exploiting loool 5/5 game ^^ GJ

At some point coins were spawning right after I got them 😅

Everything being so polished, I only wish it saved the progress between runs.

[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=02h05m35s)

This is such a dope idea that I would love to see expanded upon. :thumbsup:

It reminds me of those little Desktop Companions back in the early days of Windows :smile: Would love to see something like that make a comeback!

itsboats 2024-10-13 05:51

yo I love the idea here and it looks great! There's not too much to keep you playing a long time yet, but its got a lot of potential and the execution so far is awesome. here a couple idea I got: -multiple resources maybe? -resource blocks can be in the terrain windows and creatures have a chance to harvest from those blocks -creatures have bonuses+penalties for gathering specific resources and also bonuses+penalties for the terrain theyre in, so theres a little bit of planning on where to place creatures too

sasha20 2024-10-14 00:53

The game brings the theme to life with a fresh approach and stunning artistic design. God Job!

senso 2024-10-14 07:05

Super nice game! Really cool 'idle' concept, and I love the idea of buying new space. Ad some events and I can totally see this being something you'd find in a store, perfect as a side game to enjoy during breaks or even while streaming. Great job!

Your team made something special, something that will last. This is a fount of joy that can be shared endlessly. Well fucking done.

I absolutely love this game! It's so different to anything else I've seen or played on here. There is such a fantastic foundation to build upon for a later full release.

The in-between window movement is brilliant. The art is wonderful, great audio, and the vibes are cozy.

Oh and the upgrade shop was super juicy!

Thank you so much to the whole team for participating and making this game, absolutely a gem!

This is a really great farming sim game! I love how you use the page's windows!

andriana-mantidfly 2024-10-17 05:08

This is a very underrated project.

jajo 2024-10-21 17:25

this is an amazing way of presenting the game! Using multiple windows was fairly well utilised and the upgrade mechanic was great. Although, I wish there was a bit more to do than drag creatures around between upgrades. Was also incredibly impressed with the pixel art, incredibly well executed for tiny windows. The music was also perfect for the game.

Love this as a little idle game I was playing in the background until I realized that I could have actively been playing it because the menu options and store button opened on my second screen and I didn't even realize until I looked down. Not a fault by you but making the windows a little more manageable would help! the game also opened with a giant black screen behind the day and time counter which I thought was normal until I saw the screens of other people not having that issue. Overall super fun and I love the sprite art, well done!

empyreans 2024-10-23 19:36

Especially creative idea of making player grow creatures in a separate windows on your PC, I only wish transparency feature worked for me.

Very addictive experience. Thank you for making my desktop a lively place on the stream :)

If only I could move the black background (couldn't do transparency on my computer darn it) I would have had more fun. but that is my ONLY complaint. Was a super chill and fun game! Just growing my little window zoo. I think I may have also accidentally opened two more actual windows of the game and it got all confusing and had to shut it down lol. Great entery!

I can see myself letting this run while watching something. Sadly it loos like this on my machine. Screenshot 2024-10-26 000633.jpg
