Nice! I wish we could zoom in though!

This is a cute little game. I also wish you could zoom in and watch though ^^ nice audio too!

nice controller

The way these lil slimes move is very charming. I liked that each generation was a different color, it made me want to keep feeding the newest generation to see what color their offspring would be.

There is something tremendously satisfying about leading these little guys around and making them grow. Really chill little experience!

Very cool game, love the sound design when the cubes separate themselves. I wish there was an incentive to place the food in other places to avoid the player spamming left click in one place. Great work for 8 hours and lots of potential!

This was cute, good game feel on the multiplication. I kinda wish there was a bit more to it, like as an example maybe feeding them different colors of food to determine the way their colors mix etc. and being able to create a collection of unique colors. I understand it probably wasn't possible to do more in 8 hours tho so nicely done either way!

nice job, chill game, enjoy

good game and nice thincing

Super cute and very nice audio!

The sound design was great! Eventually I amassed an army of slime cubes and they started getting stuck or hungry or something with big target markers, which was a little sad. But I had so many cubes! It was more rewarding but a similar feeling to sprinkling food for a goldfish. Nice work!

So nice and chill. I can see the love with which this game was made. :3

halogen 2024-10-09 21:10

Nice game I like the music and the low poly art

nickhellquist 2024-10-09 21:13

Nice, chill game. Good piece of music, and overall polish. Good job :)

Simple and effective - incredible work for 8 hours! Shocking how engaging it was given the fact that you're only one thing the whole time, and the whole effect was very peaceful and relaxing. It wasn't clear at first what the goal was, but it quickly became apparent with minimal explanation, which isn't easy. The music and sound really worked for the feel as well. Would have enjoyed being able to mousewheel to zoom in and out, but that's a big ask for such a short timeline. Great work, especially given the time spent on it!

Nice visual, good job, I like it 😌

kevin-meissner 2024-10-10 09:06

Very cute, I liked it a lot thanks :-)

roitchie 2024-10-10 11:10

Very cute and I like the art style. Making a 3D game is always extra impressive and doing this in 8 hours. Wow. Well done.

mars 2024-10-10 11:47

Very nice and cozy little game!

obidiix-minusinfinity 2024-10-10 15:02

I think that being the game made in 8 hours it's pretty well polished, it feels extremely different this way having the cubes move like jelly than if they would move without any effect added; Obviously doesn't have much gameplay, but even with that I would say I enjoyed it

kerdelos 2024-10-10 20:56

For some reason I can't rate this game but I discovered that after playing so here's my feedback anyway :)

Never tought I could get this invested in feeding colored cubes. At first I though they were immortals but then I discovered the ominous red cross. Sorry little cubes I won't be able to save your from the cross forever, but it was nice while it lasted :D

On a more technical note. I like what you did with the animation of the cubes, they do feel like some blobs alive, well done !

atlasflame 2024-10-10 21:16

Nature is healing. Very relaxing feeding the cubes and watching them multiply.

tomtomgome 2024-10-10 21:18

That's very well thought of to have a full experience in such a little time, well played! Obvious take on the theme that I haven't seen much yet, but very very well executed. Sometime simplicity is a quality in itself!

zoglu 2024-10-10 21:55

I really loved the overall experience considering you've done this in only 8 hours, nice job !

bhashimoto 2024-10-11 01:47

Very relaxing and fun to raise the little cubes! We've done something similar (in regards to feeding and multiplying), but in 2D. Lovely music and sound effects, great experience!

nill 2024-10-11 20:58

Great game. I was surprised that it was done in 8 hours. It's very cool and inspiring!! The game itself is very cute and relaxing

oliver-day 2024-10-11 21:51

Surprisingly fun to just sit back and guide my colony around. a few times they di go off the screen or under rocks so it was hard to see or feed them but that's part of the challenge. It was interesting to go from just one to 20. I found the that when they split they looked a bit small but I liked how they seemed to sometimes inherit traits from their parents (even though I would have liked this to be a bit stronger).

I also found that when too many were in the same area they paused.

shir0o23 2024-10-12 19:51

very sweet, short game. i always tend to gravitate towards this specific aesthetic when browsing for games on the market. you did a lovely job, especially for such a short time

bzoo345 2024-10-12 20:38

very nice game! Could be quite an interesting idea with further development. I really like the animations to the creatures, i've been trying to learn to animate in style but i don't even know where to start :))

utopia 2024-10-13 20:01

Awesome game, funny to play

tuism 2024-10-14 13:29

Oh wow you're an exceptional person! 8 hours! Opted out of ratings! Whoa! Yeah there's not much to this as a "game", but it feels excellent, is adorable, the split resetting sizes is fun, and... Well yeah these are cool things. If only there were more!

momotiktik 2024-10-14 16:23

It's such a cute little game, I like simulations like that and very nice music loop too! It's funny when the creatures are kinda "stuck" between two crumbs, deciding which one is closer :D Nice one!

renier 2024-10-14 18:12

such a cool and fun little game! amazing you made it in 8 hours! loved the little creature's movement

bashem 2024-10-14 21:51

A breath of fresh air while reviewing several stressful games, well done! :D Worth keep developing in my opinion. Maybe some non stressful task here and there?

cyphix 2024-10-15 03:07

This seems like a neat mechanic that could be used in the scope of a larger game. Good work on it.

turturi 2024-10-15 18:16

Great game. I love how they move. And eat. So much personality in a cube.

dekisenpaitm 2024-10-18 10:39

Its super chill and enjoyable at some point my cubes got so stuck they couldnt move anymore - which made me sad after raising them for 30min straight p.p Screenshot 2024-10-18 123752.png

mmhathaar 2024-10-18 18:26

Nice game!! Congrats

johnbrynte 2024-10-21 21:48

Cozy is the word! It's really nice to see that you worked so much with game feel. I think it shows how much it really matters! Even if this game maybe has no clear goal it's still fun to play around with.

Would've liked to be able to zoom in and maybe tilt the camera a bit. I think it could create some cool views over your society of creatures. Amazing work! :sparkles:

jonathan-ray-pollard 2024-10-23 23:00

Other players nailed it, soooo cozy! What is there is great, has character and is a perfect little pet sim. Great music track to set the mood.

barryrichter 2024-10-24 04:20

Supuer fun little game to play and have open. I love filling the screen with all the little guys!

legendone 2024-10-24 19:07

really nice game. Feels like it needs some zoom in and out. Also would be nice if they could eat each other XD

jackireland 2024-10-25 01:17

cool game
