Neat puzzle game, reverse-push block puzzles isn't a concept I've seen done much before so it was a real brain teaser trying to figure it out in comparison to typical block pushers. A few of the later ones really made me struggle (level 13 especially!) but it was satisfying to finally figure them out. Good job including an undo feature as well! That was very helpful.

Nice concept! Works pretty well, and it was neat seeing the magnifying glass work and watching the creatures mill about and live for generations. As a suggestion, a timer to show how long the game has been going long for (either in real time or "in-game" time if you want to say several days are passing) and some ambient backing music would be nice. Also, some more variety in the creature colors or designs. An effective little concept and interesting flow to watch regardless, so nice job.

Interesting idea! i like the theme you're going for here, extra kudos for making the tiny text in the tutorial image readable enough to know what some directions are without breaking the style (like labelling buttons for dodge and attack). I would be curious to see how you would develop the small Window mechanic in the future, maybe everything outside the window is only defined by its outlines? Like you wouldn't see enemies or props until you get very close to them, something like that. Also maybe look into the game Windowkill for other ideas about using Browser Windows as game mechanics. Overall, nice concept! Interested to see if you do more with it.

Fun game with an effective core idea, works well with the theme! It's simple but works well, the mechanic of having to spend time to collect bonus points provided a good risk/reward system to keep the challenge up, especially later on when it felt like the screen was moving up faster (it was, right? Or am I just crazy?). Is it completable, or does it just keep going on forever? Just curious. Regardless, was a fun, simple experience! Nice work.

Very unique! I was quite impressed with the visuals, both those based on photographs and the plentiful nicely drawn sprites. The overall gameplay loop and mechanics took me a minute to get a hang of, but once I understood it I thought it was an engaging cycle. It was interesting to find that the real thing to focus on was how many Complaints there were, rather than the number of total members of each faction. The number of faction members only gives you a target, while the number of complaints basically acts like your ammunition count. It was fun to balance the two. A creative use of the theme as well! Not literally tiny creatures, but tiny from your perspective. The voice lines were charming too, nice job with those. Overall, quite the impressive project for this jam!

Very cute! The style was quite charming, and kudos for stylizing the itch page to match. The wall climbing mechanic was simple but effective, and detaching from walls was a neat way to keep it interesting. The mushrooms were the best part though, you got the bounce very satisfying! Good job with the music too, I enjoy the frog croaks. Overall, nice job!
