I wish these little monsters were animated. =] Nice entry!

myheadmess 2025-10-06 20:10

So cute ! I want to give them cute crazy names !

kremlebot 2025-10-06 20:15

A very nice hidden object. If I could draw, I'd make a game something similar

Such meditative and relaxing, especially after like almost 50+ hours of coding and designing, well done :)

helen 2025-10-07 12:05

@ueighti and @myheadmess thanks for the ideas and your positive feedback. I am thinking about making other rooms and maybe publish it for kids.

@kremlebot @aleksey-salion In this AI and stressful times I wanted to make something real and calm. Thanks for your feedback :)

This game was extremely fun and cute... More monsters could be added though I found it a bit too easy

A fun game. At first I had trouble navigating between the rooms, but quickly got the hang of it. The game concept is a good one, and the monsters are imaginative. Also, I like the raw art style — it adds a lot of character to the game. I wish all games here were as fun as this one.

This was wonderful, thank you very much!

I like the visual stylization of the game! It's very fun! I would like to see a bit more difficult levels in the future, so that it takes longer to find the monsters

Cute lil game! I actually played this a few times and all the monsters from previous plays stayed on the shelf, which allowed me to see different version of them. All the monsters in the world need bigger shelf :crying_cat_face:

@adhvik @hassanm I found it quite challenging to add more stuff to the rooms. In the future I want to draw a kitchen, maybe I can add there more stuff.

@gamebuilder @blatalzar Thanks for your positive feedback :)

@wallted It was my purpose to save the monsters you already collected. I should have added a restart button, then it could have been more clear.

I found all the cute monsters! :) (But it took a while for me to find out, that there is a door which I can use to go outside and choose another room ^^')

Nice little hidden object game! Very reminiscent of 'Cats hidden in ...', with a nice artstyle and chill music!

yellowscope 2025-10-18 15:48

This was a very cozy game. The monsters were charming.

tsaot 2025-10-19 02:01

I couldn't find the last monster the first time, so I refreshed the page and discovered that the monsters were hiding in different places. I'm not sure what I couldn't find, but I did succeed 3 times after that. Nice job randomizing the hiding places!

bluedandelion 2025-10-19 11:46

Cute and cozy game, the music is also very relaxing and adds a lot to the mood, nice job!

kahztein 2025-10-19 14:51

Nice game! I always like coming across simple cozy games like this while rating. It gives a few minutes to just chill and enjoy some easy mechanics.

ajile3105 2025-10-19 15:29

Super cute game!! And very cozy :)

harujam 2025-10-19 17:51

I find the hand drawn(?) backgrounds very nice!

helen 2025-10-19 18:00

@dasmaichen @tsaot Some monsters are really hard to find, because only the ears or legs are poking out. Yes I position the monsters randomly at the start, so each turn can be easy or difficult ^^"

@thomas-bringer @yellowscope @bluedandelion @kahztein @ajile3105 Thanks for your positive feedback :) - many games at ludum dare get very hectic (also older games of mine :D), so I wanted to do something to chill out.

@harujam Thanks :) yes the backgrounds and monsters are all hand drawn.

mibi88 2025-10-20 14:34

Cute game! However it was quite easy as the monsters are colored while the background isn't. It's neat that many people make cozy games, they are quite enjoyable. Overall it's a good game!

ginger-kyoko 2025-10-20 17:59

I found them all! It's a really cute game. I loved the art and the music :)

By the way, if you're looking for a slightly weird atmosphere, you can check out our game 🤪

dengyixa 2025-10-21 06:56

It's such a cute game..! These monsters are so cuuuuute and I found all of them !!

jesus-gonzalez 2025-10-22 16:10

Really like the hand drawn graphics.

oller125 2025-10-24 19:06

Really like the art style but the game is a bit short. I think just adding a bit more to the gameplay e.g. moving things to reveal monsters would have made this quite interesting.
