Visually - I'm jealous :smile: Controls were a lil difficult to figure out at first, but once you get the hang of it it's a very unique and interesting gameplay. Great job!

Fantastic artstyle. For such simple mechanics it's surprisingly fun and difficult. The top right window I kept pressing `q` before finally realise it's `a`.

An interesting game, but I didn't understand how everything worked at first, even when I pressed the right keys. it gave an error. Maybe there was a special timing? But then I understood how it works and it became more interesting. There is a real lack of music(

I particularly liked the art style, but I was A little confused at first about the controls and whether to press Q or A lol as others mentioned in the previous comment, but overall I liked it!! (BTW, we also have a jam work, if you can play it and leave some suggestions to us, we will be very grateful !! :heart: thx! :smile:

I liked it, but sometimes the text floats and it is not clear what is written

joer 2024-10-08 16:46

Cute. Hard to get a grasp on controls though.

thatfirey 2024-10-08 23:37

Really cool and clean art-style, but the game doesn't really explain at all what you have to do, so you kinda guess at first, restarting also seems to break the game, but other than it's pretty cool

erasemenot 2024-10-09 00:04

The illustrations looks amazing. But unfortunately I didn't figure out the controls. And restart countdown repeats, so I have to refresh the browser to play again.

What a charming style! a fun and adorable game ๐Ÿ’ž(โยดโ—ก`โ)

Cute art style! The gameplay almost reminds me of trying to play a Bop It :)

megahana 2024-10-09 03:24

so cute! i do think it can really benefit from having some sound and music (unless my pc broke i counldn't hear anythin ๐Ÿ˜ญ) it's an interesting choice to have the creatures/main part of the gameplay at the corner of the screen.

arenavgust 2024-10-09 04:51

Cute, nice idea with work day som silly circle xD

lehmy 2024-10-09 17:00

As other comments already made clear, it's a great art style (super cute). I was also a bit confused in the beginning with the controls, but that cleared up fast. Great game, and good job.

holzez 2024-10-09 17:17

Love the art style! I think you can turn this into a great rhythm game)

james-wilson 2024-10-09 18:56

This is a cute simple game - the art style is great. I think this game would have been interesting if the rooms were introduced one by one, building the complexity and give the player a chance to learn how to interact with each. But no criticism outside of that, this is complete charming experience.

gamayun-games 2024-10-09 20:26

oh my, how cute are these little guys! actually i don't need any game, i can just look at them and get my daily portion of cuteness :D you did such a great job with visuals, that's 10 out of 10 for sure :)

the gameplay was simple and satisfying, i probably only wish for a short in game tutorial that would explain how i start playing :D and maybe it would be fun to make the required buttons more random, so that you should't click the same ones for each room :) and i think the game would be soo awesome with the sounds and music!

deercat 2024-10-09 21:19

Nice idea but could really use some kind of music and sound effects, without them it feels a little bit dry. Art style is really cute tho

daredevinbegins 2024-10-09 21:25

Visually Stunning, but I am having trouble with the controls. Good game nonetheless, I am pretty sure I just suck at testing games :)

karamelika22 2024-10-09 21:54

It's a very nice game, I liked the style, it's clear that the artist tried and the game itself is interesting)

irene02 2024-10-09 22:04

Came back after the update! The controls feel a loot nicer - the first time around it took me about 10 seconds to figure out what I was doing wrong xD 5/5/5/5/5 <3

ecaterina 2024-10-10 13:11

I really love graphics in your game. It feels like a breath of fresh air!

kremlebot 2024-10-10 13:28

The art is cool. I didn't really understand what mash means.

kyoryucomic 2024-10-10 17:38

Love the art, the lack of music and sfx really hindered the experience for me, the little minigames were well thought out

daria-toni 2024-10-10 18:31

Very unusual game! I really like your idea and its execution. It takes time to learn the buttons, but then the game goes faster and more fun. I would like to note the beautiful and cute art style! I love it very much. I would really like there to be music and sounds, of course. But otherwise everything works great!

hilary-fischer 2024-10-10 21:34

Love the stylized art & concept of this game! I found the mechanics/goal a little bit difficult to figure out. Great job!

bacontree 2024-10-11 10:30

Wow, suprisingly difficult in the beginning, but it's fun that you learn what to do where and become faster and better at it. I think it's a very cute idea with tiny creatures going about their working days. Good job! ^^

nazariglez 2024-10-11 10:32

This game is a hidden gem! The art is adorable, and the concept is really unique. Once I got the hang of the controls, it was even more fun. It deserves more attention. Gj!

benjatk 2024-10-11 13:22

I looove the art style of this game, incredibly cute! I wish there was some more indicators of timing (like how long to hold for, when exactly to tap, etc.) and some audio. Still, adorable game and unique idea.

junyi-chen 2024-10-12 13:56

Art style is soooo cute!!A little confused at first but figure it out soon. Hope the ending scene can stay much longer (haven't seen the result clearly and it restart again very quickly.) Overall is very pretty!

roroto-sic 2024-10-12 18:41

Cute fun game ! I don't know if its a bug, but i had no audio during playtime. (if not i totally understand lack of time during jam ^^)

tyrannas 2024-10-14 19:39

I really like your graphics, simple style but very effective and quite original ! Gameplay also is simple but quite fun when you get the hang of it ! Only downside it the lack of music and small creatures noises which would have really add to the mood imo ! But good job !

whalejam 2024-10-16 16:34

Super cute graphics, took me a minute to figure out what I was meant to do but once you get started the loop is pretty fun. Nice job ^^

alpalcalad 2024-10-17 22:43

just some lil guys. Very cute game, audio would have gone a long way but not a fault of the game

rewzu 2024-10-20 13:06

I like the rythm of the game. The art style is neat as well. Some cozy music would fit nicely I think. Overall nice little game! :D

13x666 2024-10-20 16:31

This is extremely cute and beautiful! Two of our LD entries (including the current one) explore a similar idea/mechanic, and I love how your approach is so similar and different at the same time. I love the feeling of flow you get when you get into the rhythm and start performing the actions without waiting for the prompts or reading them, feels extremely satisfying!

yogurtthehorse 2024-10-20 22:29

Hey! Teammate of @13x666 here (and also blue sky follower, haha). Only can say that he wrote everything correctly :D

cherwood 2024-10-21 09:17

Hey @yogurtthehorse @13x666 thanks for the feedback <3 I just saw your game, funny to have had the same idea but a different approach.

jetmarch 2024-10-21 11:41

The style is peerless, as is the idea of the game itself. I wasn't able to understand the controls the first time around, but maybe I was just impatient. However, once I figured out the gameplay, I was immediately hooked. Great job!

jpatrick 2024-10-21 12:19

Really nice little game - Good job :) Enjoyable graphics, and simple but fun mechanics.

jhax 2024-10-21 20:00

Everything works really well together - a simple gameplay mechanic but implemented really well. The artwork's really cute!

tetrapteryx 2024-10-24 16:27

Super cute art style! I enjoyed it a lot once I got the rhythm down. You definitely succeeded at introducing a little magic into mundane tasks.
