This is one of my favorite games of the jam. I love the mechanic, my only gripe is that I wish the game was more of a ori-type easy platformer than a celeste/jump king difficult precision one. I think the mechanic fits an easier game better but maybe thats just me.
I really love the visual choices for most of the game's elements. Maybe I'm just bad at color logic, but I couldn't figure out how to mix lighter colors out of the mites.
Really creative use of theme, and good implementation of tower defense mechanics. Definitely felt a bit too easy, but it was still very fun to have a hundred "trebuchets"
Overall game feel is really good, reminded me of katana zero but with horde mechanics. Level structure had me a bit confused at times, but it was the same for my game, hard to do it all with a few people. Great work!
Really cool concept, super ambitious to do within the jam and I guess it checks out. Love the commitment to the bit too! The only thing that peeves me is when games stop my movement to read the text and I prefer to be allowed to move during it, but overall a cool implementation of the concept. Felt like I wanted a bit more gameplay value out of it, but you nailed the atmosphere.
Hey, there's definitely a few bugs in there that stop me from getting into it, but otherwise there's some really solid elements here. Wally being a virtual entity was kind of confusing to me from a theme point of view, but it was interesting nevertheless.
Would have been an impressive achievement to have done the system for the snail and also make a level that highlights it within the jam's time frame, but you managed it within compo. Nicely done :D
Oh My God, a game that perfectly mirrors my experience. Walking around half asleep tapping all the objects in the room to get them to come out of hiding ugh. Very neatly implemented game, good job.
Hey, neat idea! I liked the art and audio a lot. There were a few runs where the upper platform was too far up for me to reach with my max jump. Screenshot 2024-10-10 103553.png Great job tho!
You've done a great job of capturing that feeling of being tiny. The tension was also handled well. Ending is definitely a skill check lol, I wish it was a bit easier.
Hey, this is a really cool combination of mechanics and fits the theme really well. Took me a second to figure out that you have to load up the dead ones to get value out of eating them. In my opinion the combination of the bugs getting thrown away from you after you beat them and the slow movespeed takes away from the usual rewarding feeling you get from the consume and grow type games. If one of those two factors was adjusted I think the game feel would be better. Thank you! P.S. I also love the title
The controls and presentation of the game are really impeccable for a jam, good stuff! Edit: I just finished the game..... no way lmao, didnt see that coming. I wish the game loop had some variety.
Hey this is cool, I do think the bugs should move faster they felt a little too easy (I may be biased because my game has notoriously fast bugs). Atmosphere was good and the pixel art was also on point. Nicely done!
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!
Hey, the combination of blueprints is something that will be very difficult to learn at first. I like the game but I do think it needs slower onboarding. Maybe level 1 could be a tutorial showing how to use a max of two blueprints and so on. Felt satisfying to get the big combos but it took me a while to get it.
Hey I liked the aesthetic choices a lot! I think it would be very cute if the critters all followed you bobbing along after you woke them up, also it would help spot the ones that are still asleep vs the ones you woke up from further away.
This is such an awesome concept. I would love to see a further developed version of this. I also like how the ragdolling dead enemies can kill your troops. Great job!
I would suggest adjusting the camera follow speed. At times when I'm tryna speedrun the level the camera lags too far and I can't see the enemies in time to dodge em. Good job on your first entry, here's to more!
This game is so expandable after the jam. Being able to create massive terrariums filled with tiny versions of flora and fauna and customizations for the base and jar shapes would be so cool. Vibe reminds me of Dorfromantik. Good job!
This game is so fun and polished especially for the time frame we had! Just a heads up the menu stopped working for me after I re-entered it, not sure if that's on my end.
Hey, I really like this concept, in my ideal version it would involve controlling the little to operate different mechanisms to suit the situation the main body is in in order to overcome obstacles. Really good job tho!
