Nice variety of creatures.

​I love this game. This reminds me of Insaniquarium in some aspects, and the creatures are unique, look good, and have interesting behaviors. Nice work! I like filling out the creature guide and the zen aspect led me to give a high mood rating. I would like more definite goals or meta progression, but the curiosity and discovery of the combinations, and the combinations making decent logical sense was fun to discover. Thank you!

So many cute lil guys! I had to get them all! (Although I think four limbs + plant + water might be my favorite)

I really like that the alchemy results just stay in the room and wander around ^^ made me go through the entire spellbook just to see all the cute (and spooky) art <3

Just letting you know that on your Itch.io page, there's no link to your game here on ldjam. I found it here, but there's no link there.

I loved mixing the ingredients there, but I have to confess that I ended up creating the creatures sort of by accident. I'm not sure if I truly understood that magic book; I just threw things in randomly, and eventually, little critters started to emerge.

I thoroughly enjoyed the little animation of the creature's emergence; it's quite satisfying to watch the whole thing tremble, and it truly feels like you've created a majestic being.

Cool visual and creatures. Will be cool to have some goals/plot in this game.

Cute game with original creatures!

Wow, there is so many creatures to discover! I found this so cool! Love the creativity and experimentation to find out different things. And the little creatures walking around after. I didn't see the book right away, but maybe that is intended? Great work on this game ^^

A really beautiful game! I could see that as a wallpaper in "Wallpaper Engine". Really cozy and impressive how many art you could make in that amount of time.

Incredible amount of creatures, great! Gameplay is clear. IU is clear. Sound well chosen.

Game is fun and curious. Especially when you have to think a lot about how to manage the last creatures. The variety in the game itself is a bit lacking.

The different behaviors of the creatures are nice to look at.

Amazing! This is exactly what I love in a game --> collecting pets. If you would implement that you could care for them after you created them I would love it even more!

It reminds me of one of my favorite games from my childhood. I definitely like the idea)

This is so nice. Love the creature designs ^^

The audio design is splendid, very relaxing! Great job on all the different creatures you managed to add as well. The game sort of reminds me of that one barista flash game everyone played at some point.

Impressive amount of creatures. Would love to see what else could be done with this menagerie

This game is really simple and has a nice art style! It's easy to figure out and get into. Would be fun if there was more interaction between the combined creatures, like if you clicked on them and they made some sort of motion or noise. Overall though, good combination of creature art to combine and find!

I can imagine this took a lot of work art wise. Quite relaxing.
