Fun game with a nice well balanced difficulty curve. I enjoyed learning the different animals behaviour through trial and error. Easy interactions and cozy mood.

I didnt understand the constant explosions that bombarded me. I ran around picking health alot and therefore had no time to fight the enemies or look for things to pick up. I like the cozy world though.
Good controls for the drone. I would have like some more depth, perhaps get more time if being accurate or other actions. It could also be fun to avoid obstacles. I liked the star system, and tried to beat my own best score a few times.
Liked: I like the pixelated art style and the colors. It felt like I lost health because of the cold weather and got it back in the warm houses that lit up which felt nice.
Things to improve: - The playing window was very tiny on my high res laptop screen. I would like it to be full screen or something similar. - I would have loved some music and sound effects to give it some added cozyness. - It was not super clear what I delivered - It felt a little frustrating to get stuck in the snow for too long and the jumping might need some tweaks?
Such a well made highly polished little game. The art style, the music, the mechanics. I especially liked the uniqueness of ammo being your new found friends :smile:
Its an impressive amount of work with all the art and mechanics. I had fun figuring out how too keep my blobcreatures happy :smile:
I like the concept of going to work all dressed up and getting surprise attacked by tiny goblins. It has a charming art style, I especially like the death pose and also the kick. Feels like the player is not your typical hero but more of a 9 to 5 guy. If you like to develop it further it would be cool to lean into this even more. Perhaps he has a vanilla latte that he can pour on the goblins :smile:
Innovative art and also the mechanics of coordinating mouse and keyboard. I liked this polished little game.
It felt refreshing with that colorful ground mixed with the 2D. I had fun tending to my little creature with food, and not let him get kidnapped by the bushmonster :smile:
The art style, music and gameplay feel very consistent which makes it into a great playful experience. Also an impressive amount of levels.
A nice little artsy game with a great atmosphere. I like that it is such a clean idea, and have some ambiguity if I should drop them in the hole or not. First I dropped them in there, second playthrough I tried to save the poor tiny humans. Taking it further I think I would make the pick up click range a little more forgiving. Also cool to let the hand could do one more action like redirect or smash/scare them. And then some randomized wise words about tiny humans and their suffering.. haha. Great work!
The moment I realized I worked in a rat meat restaurant! :smile:
Cozy little game with alot of athmosphere. I liked that the trader payed me so much, he must be really passionate about bugs :smile:
Cool to have three characters to choose from with unique attacks. I also enjoyed the arcady style and sounds.
Love the space opera vibes with the music and all.
I had a lot of fun, it felt well balanced. I liked that my "deck" of bugs where limited so I had to choose wisely. It would have been nice with some juicy crunchy sound effects when smashing the bugs. And perhaps an extra twist to make it a bit more unique. One idea could be to expand the deck building part if you want to keep develop this concept after the jam. Great work!
