Like (Tiny) Rabbits! by Ang Parodi

Control the tiny creatures population and prevent it from reaching its limit!
They breed like rabbits, so keep them away from each other or you will have a population problem. If the population reaches its limit, you lose.
Like any other creature, they age over time and eventually die, but not before leaving behind a gold coin as a gift. Use the coins to buy upgrades to help you control their population.

Controls - Move the creatures by dragging and dropping them with the mouse.

I found the game a bit hard though, once I bought a first upgrade, the rabbits spawned too quickly and I lost.
Well done, GG!
I had fun trying to survive waves as much as I could haha :rabbit: :rabbit2:
There might be a bug with the Age Accelerator. I tried two playthroughs where I bought it as a first upgrade and my creatures stopped aging at all (same happened on both tries). I stayed away from it after that. I played web version on Firefox, for reference. It can also be quite hard to click on the mating pair when the tiny guys clump close together. But I guess that by the time they are so bunched up, you're doomed anyway :wink:
I see it's your first LD - so welcome to the community. You really made something cool! I played several times, and that was my best one:

Good job!
I made the mistake of buying the aging inhibitor in my first few playthroughs, which appears to basically lose the game on the spot as the creatures stop dying. It might be worth adding a note to the description about this bug.
I found it quite difficult to actually find the time to buy upgrades as I got farther into the game. I'm not sure how much farther the extra few upgrades would have gotten me. If the aging accelerator worked I imagine it would make quite a difference, both making it possible to earn more money and making it easier to keep the creatures under control. The anti-mating impulsor and crytobiosis both seemed a bit slow and could fire when there was no real need to -- I think it might be more fun if those abilities could be fired by the player with a cooldown, to help get out of a really tough spot.
The graphics and sound are quite nice! The game feels polished besides the aging bug and it definitely made me want to give it a few tries! The farthest I got was wave 12.
