The concept is interesting, maybe one of the most original ones fitting in the theme 'small world'! I really like the atmosphere you created with just a few sounds and the ink art style. But I'm terrible as a cartographer so at the end, I just drew whatever I wanted ... :)
Thank you so much all of you for the kind words, reviews and improvement suggestions! Any feedback is welcome and it really helps us to improve the game experience!
I'm really glad you like the art! I love to create small creatures and ecosystems, so this theme was perfect for me...and I managed to do everything I wanted within the deadline, so it was a good challenge!
It seems that on some computers, the movements are too floaty and slow, Lars is still working on the game so I hope we'll fix that soon!
Best,

Hey, thank you so much for the nice comments, we are glad you enjoyed the game!
It seems some of you need an explanation concerning the evolution of the creatures. Well, sometimes evolutions turn into something different and unexpected... So we just wanted to show there was no 'good guy' or 'bad guy' in this ecosystem, everyone is just trying to survive!

You created a lovely atmosphere!
The art is very cute and I like the combination of the photograph with simple designs. Maybe a small cycling water animation around the bait and the rock would have help for a better integration, and some particules to make this small world a bit more lively. Otherwise you did a great job with the sounds and the cute lullaby!
Concerning the game play, it's simple but the experience is nice and the progression is fast... so no time to get bored! It's quite relaxing and satisfying to build something. I like the interactions between the brothers, they are so cute I would love to have more options! I think it would be a good concept for a collaborative/multiplayer game too.
I enjoyed playing this little game, and it was so far one of my favorite entries! Looking forward to seeing more! keep up the good work :)
Very cute designs! That looks more like an interactive illustration than a game, but I feel you could do something great with more time and a team. Keep up the good work! :)
The art of this game catched my attention, but I think the game is too difficult for me. First, I spent a long time to figure out how to play and where was the ball (maybe you should make it more noticeable or add the possibility to zoom in). Then the control was not really smooth (but maybe my computer doesn't support the game very well). Otherwise, this was a cute and polished small world and I really like the atmosphere you created!
I'm not sure I really understood how to score...but I enjoyed this little game! Art is polished and cute ( as the sounds), and the concept and interactions are very fun! Good job! :)
I like the designs and I the music fits in very well ( special mention to your dad who did it! that's a cute collaboration!) I think the ice mode is my favorite, because it's more polished. Particules and growing ice making the environment more lively.
However controls are very difficult and ruined the game experience... maybe it's not adapted for every keyboard (why not using just the arrows?)
At first, I didn't understood exactly what I was supposed to do since the spider could't be killed or eat anything ( probably a bug? ). But once i finally got it, I spent a nice time and played a looot! The concept is simple but efficient, music is catchy and human's comments add a fun touch to the game! good job!
This is maybe not a new concept but you made it cute and funny. The music is catchy and I like how it's smooth and easy to play, I spent a nice time playing! :)
A lovely little game, cute story and characters! Now... I feel we should all stop playing video games and go out to make new friends around! :)
I have to say for now it's one of the most polished game I tryed from this jam ! The art is cute and the music is catchy, gameplay and puzzles are interesting and fun to play... In short, I spent a long time playing and and trying to explore this 'small world'.
Only 'problem' I experienced, was when I get stucked in an infinite loop between 2 sunflower tiles (fortunatly I was able to restart the level) . Also, maybe I wish a smoother movement between the tiles because the delay could be frustrating. Otherwise, what a nice experience!
This 'small world' is crazy and I'm glad i can finally try it ! Spermicorn and the concept are cute and I spent a fun time to play :)
I usually sucks at that kind of games but this one was fun and smooth to play. The art is polished, I like the vibrant color palette and simple shapes! And I think the music is catchy (even if I would have prefered the meteors synchronized to the music for more fun and more variation). I spent a nice time playing, thank you!
Oh no! Nazis kill me...I'm not so good in general at that kind of game, but I think I did my record of number of deaths per minute. It's very frustrating because the game looks fun, with nice graphic and music! I would like to have the possibility to see more about it. :/
A nice entry simple but efficient! The design and music are catchy. The characters look fun and add more variation, but I wish that could add more options for the gameplay. I spent a nice time though!
