Fun game with cute art.
It's a fun game, but I find the gameplay too simple for my taste.
The toy is cool, but it seems like you want a little more variety. These gremlins remind me of me without my morning coffee.
Art and music do a lot for this game, it definitely puts you in a certain mood when you play it. The problem I see with the game is that there's not really much incentive to make the little creatures multiply. It adds more work without much reward if your goal is to just last a long time. Overall though, the mood of the game was great, and with more work I could definitely see this as a mindless game to sink some time into if there was progression.
Very cool art style, but the bug with sudden death unfortunately ruins the experience. I also couldn’t figure out which resource to use for upgrades or how it affects the monsters. But overall, everything is very cute and the idea is great. I’ll come back to play more if you fix the bug!
It is a funny little game, with a good mechanism. Good job!
@alexascher The bug shouldn't happen anymore, if you try it again, please tell me if everything works fine for you! I also added some more info in the description, since for now I didn't have time to make extra improvements in-game, but I plan to soon, hopefully, some while the jam extras are still going on.
I really liked the concept of the game, I just wished there were a better feedback of the current resources.
"I love the atmosphere! The original music is impressive. It’s a survival game, and every time I upgrade my coffee, my creatures get angrier. By the end, I can hardly keep up with them—so funny!
@wenyu-bao Thanks for your kind comment! Please come back to check for updates, I'm planning on adding some more gameplay😃 I might add more music/SFX too.
@ang-parodi Hi! Thanks for *your* feedback. Working on that too. Do you mean like SFX, different VFX for different interactions...? I would really appreciate further feedback🙌
this is just like me fr, always needing caffeine it's a simple game but it is nice for what it is, I liked the art and the music was good too, it would've be cool if there was at least one more mechanic to shake things up a bit, I saw you are preparing an update so I will look forward to playing that
Those are definitely some tiny creatures! Right on theme! I love their design and cute yellow eyes and teeth too!
@tetracold @weirdbitgames Thank you for your nice comments! You truly cheer me up to keep improving the game😊 I already updated it btw~!

Coffeeeeeeeee!!! Those addicted little creatures...
Nice entry!
Cool concept! Wish there were more UI and audio cues for clicking on things though—was a little confused at first!
@plasmak Thank you for your feedback! I'll keep it in mind :) Adding SFX was one of the other things I wanted to do, but I didn't have time. I want to try more games so I won't be able to do much more before the event finishes, but I'll definitely do it when I can. About UI cues, do you have any specific recommendation? Thx again😊
@matchaberi I was thinking of a little animation when the "tool" number increases, and also more animations after clicking on objects in general. But your game concept is good, and still congrats for finishing it! :)
@plasmak Thank you x1000! I really appreciate you took the time to come back and detail the feedback, it helps a lot!! 🎉👏🏻🫶🏻
