This is such an entertaining concept, it was really satisfying to move all the olives around and their reactions to being picked up were great. The last level was a little strange and janky but I did it!!

Nailed the theme. Was a bunch of fun trying to capture those little olives XD

Really fun use of the theme, made me smile

Fun game! The olive reactions were quite entertaining

Cute game! The mechanics were well implemented, as were the movements of the olives. I liked the push/pull mechanics as ways to herd them where you wanted.

There's quite a bit of jank in how the olives run around (e.g. getting stuck in little corners). In level 8, the fact that you can't hold objects over the pits made it a bit hard to manage the olive pushing. Also due to the fact that you can't hold the repellent on the other side of olives at the edge of the map very effectively, which can sort of jam them into a corner very effectively.

Also, level 2 is either really hard or I missed one of the mechanics, because it took me forever to manage to catch three of the little suckers in the cup.

Anyway, I had fun playing this. Nice job!

Fun game. Aesthetics fit perfectly to the theme. There were bunch but not too many levels and each were built on top of previous one. I enjoyed the little gremlin sounds olives were doing.

Good work!

Really cool overall idea and cool execution - I liked the ideas in each level. Had a ton of fun playing through it. Got stuck in level 2 for a while.. and I'm not sure I solved level 8 how I was supposed to but I managed to beat it :)

Love the graphics, the way everything controlled, and the sound effects. Missed music.. but I'm not sure how to make music that's "olive-y"..

all my olives droped down( idea is good. Level 2 is most hard in whole game.

Grabbing the olives is so funny. They kick around and the sounds they make it even cuter. Great job!

I love this animations!

The animations are so cool!

Satisfying little game! Really liked the breadth of mechanics, graphics, and sound.

Would love to see a version with a little more stakes and really putting some of the different mechanics together

Great game, I finished it in one go. Olives are delightful. Well done!

Nice concept, good level design variations, and the olives are super cute, well done ! It's cool to have different ways to solve puzzles, it looks like the game concept could be easily expanded. It lacks a bit of music but the olives sounds are funny !

I am not entirely sure that I am "saving" the olives. I am quite an olives lover and I care a lot about them. They add great savour and tastiness to my food. :yum:

wow that was fun! the simple controls makes it super fun! good job!

This reminds me of Lemmings. You couldn't kill lemmings by dropping poo on them, though, so in a way this game is better.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if you just never got around to implementing it, but hitting "next" on the final level doesn't seem to do anything. It took me a bit to realize that meant I'd won.

Cool game! I liked the variety of mechanics and the basic but working artificial intelligence of olives. It was fun to play this game. Good job!
