It's a great game with a very capable development team. Wow, the game is a bit challenging, but the controls feel good. Hmm, but I'm a bit of a handicap, I hope the game will continue to add content, be released on other platforms, and I hope we can see our game.
Very good sound, the game rhythm is a little fast, the style is really cute and cute and cute
I really like the art style of this game, and the process of playing it is very smooth! The interaction design is great too! Thank you for sharing, I am a new game maker, I really should learn more from you!Coincidentally, we also made a card type game!
It's a fun game with interesting puzzles. The clothes you put together unexpectedly look very nice. At first, I thought this was a game that could drive OCD people crazy, but I was actually quite happy when I finished and saw the display.! I also hope you'll take a look at my game.[屏幕截图 2024-10-10 014244.png](///raw/8f8/06/z/6852e.png)
We apologize for forgetting to include the gameplay introduction in the description. I'm adding it here. How to play: 1. Click the left and right arrows on the cards below to switch card types either forward or backward. The numbers on the cards indicate how many of that type you have. (Note: there’s a temporary bug where the number may not update immediately after you consume a card. To refresh, just switch to the card type that you just consumed.)
2. Click the three magnifying glasses on the right side of the screen to view the three Petri dishes. You can choose whether to feed them the selected card, as different card types will affect the values of the three bottles in the lower left corner.
3. When you select "✔," it means one card of the current type is consumed, and a story panel will appear in the center of your screen. Please read it fully and wait for it to disappear before proceeding.
4. By balancing the values of the three bottles in the lower left corner, you can achieve the true ending before all cards are consumed. If any bottle fills or empties early, you will reach different endings.
5. Ultimately, these endings reflect your conclusions as a mouse scientist. You may successfully reach the true ending or fail early and receive a subjective false ending.
@patbgames Thank you for your suggestion! We will consider placing the explanation diagram in the game's interactive interface for easier access. Regarding the story content, we’ve written many different stories, such as each magnifying glass presenting a unique story, the news panel updating constantly, and hints that appear next to the magnifying glasses when you place the cards. However, these can be hard to fully grasp on the first playthrough.
To better understand each petri dish's story, we suggest interacting with just one magnifying glass during each playthrough, then switching to another for the next game. This will help you gradually uncover the full story behind the three dishes. Also, pay attention to how different cards affect the bottles, and after using a card or restarting the game, refresh the card values by clicking the arrows to make sure you know the exact number and types of cards you have.
Remember, in the game, you are a mouse scientist, and the three magnifying glasses represent three different petri dishes. Using the news panel, experiment logs, endings, and card types as clues, you can gradually piece together the full narrative of the game.
@shasaur Thank you so much for your feedback and support! We’ll definitely focus on improving the incremental learning and clearer patterns you mentioned. Initially, we thought replaying the game a few times with some text explanations would be enough, but we realize that it’s still limited. Currently, we’re developing a new feature that includes tracking the experiment records you’ve obtained, providing hints on how to achieve different endings, and developer notes from each update. We’ve also added a new gameplay mechanic that ties more closely with the cards, bottles, and story. Since we’re students and busy with our studies, the update timeline is uncertain, but we’ll work on creating an interactive prototype for players to preview and experience!
@lelulagames Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate it! You’re absolutely right, the explanation on how to play should have been manually controlled. We previously debated between automatic playback or manual control, and ultimately chose automatic thinking it would be easier for players since they wouldn’t need to click and could simply wait for it to finish. However, this clearly limits the flexibility in how players consume the content. Moving forward, we’ll adjust the gameplay instructions to be manually controlled and place them in the main interactive interface to give players more freedom
Thank you very much. I'm sorry that we haven't made a good screen adaptation for different devices. We will improve this problem in the future!
@blazerker Thank you for your feedback, you found some issues that we didn't identify before, we will continue to improve the game content, and in future updates to add skip animation close text box, and add gameplay guidelines

@Curtis Pelissier Thanks for your comments, we are working on improving the issue of text reading and will update soon!
The full screen is a little bit stuck
