Great graphics! Very interesting style)

LOVE the art style and the overall feel of the game. The floaty characters match the floaty gameplay. Floaty.

i love the art style! super smooth gameplay

Nice art style, cool little experience !

Very nice graphic style. I wasn't sure what made them scared/sick looking and die though. Do they die of age?

Godooooot aight aight. very interesting game, very mysterious, I don't know why my critters die! is it old age? thirst? i think my horny little dudes what something to spit on them. i haven't won yet but I'll keep thinking about it. Had a lot of fun with it and it looks fantastic great job guys

@jefvel @benpeterson Yes, the Actors die of old age. We didn't have time to create some sort of visual feedback for this though, and couldn't really take it out because it was crucial to the balance of the game.

The "scared" mode they enter is due to nearby enemies. :smile:

Hey there! I got into the loop, but experienced the game in a really weird way :D
I was always going back and forth between thinking I understood the rules of the game, then figuring out what I was thinking was wrong, then understanding a new rule, and then being wrong again...

It was really disturbing, but in a good way. Trying to figure out what to do with which actor, and understand their interactions and life cycles was entertaining.

I'd have like to manage to grow my population, which doesn't seem to be possible as they are dying as fast as they grow. Maybe now growing too much, but having a sense of success at some point could have been a nice addition to the management feeling.

Other than that, nothing special to say about the art, it's solid enough to understand the global loops and roles!

Congrats for making a game :)

I've reached the end, even if I didn't have any idea whether there would be an end^^
So yeah cool graphical style, but you clearly lacked the time to get the game where you wanted...
good luck next time and maybe focus a bit more on visual and audio feedback (can be quick to make using a mic or tools like sfxr/bfxr...)
