A fun experience although wasnt quite sure how to clear each stage, i could only seem to pick up the large fruit or break it with the sonar.

This was a pretty cool game, took a while to get a hang of it though.

This is a strange thing to say, but I really liked the menu! It felt really tight and responsive. Art was nice - I liked the way the little dudes wandered around the screen.

I found it a little hard to tell what I was meant to be doing, even though I read the instructions carefully - it felt like I wasn't achieving anything, but would progress to the next stage anyway. I was able to shoot the fruits, but couldn't seem to pick anything up - but kept advancing through the game while struggling to figure out my role in it.

All up, definitely a nice execution of the theme - just a little hard to follow.

Great job, but i struggled a little bit with controls, seems like you can move with arrow keys, but aim works only on numpad

Controls are a bit weird. Not sure what the objective is or what I'm supposed to do. Art style and music are nice though.

Great music. If I understand correctly its almost like a herding game? Unique idea :)

Cool game, I really liked that you could control the creatures by getting away from them :)

Very cute art! And lovely music. I think the herding could've been tweaked a bit more - hard to have control if the cuties move faster than you, and will occasionally run underneath you. The 'maze' level demonstrates these difficulties well. Surprising amount of levels and mechanics for a jam game! I loved the animation of the food breaking and spilling out. Good stuff!

Way to play into the "Tiny Creatures" theme! The art and levels really make the theme shine.

Sweet tunes :sunglasses: I felt that the game lacked some challenge though. Getting a highscore sure, but there should probably be some way of failing a level...

... At this point I just left the game running without touching the controls at all, just to see what happened. In like the 8th level, with one "heart" collected, this guy turned up! Now I couldn't proceed without actually doing something. Nice!

What I'm trying to say is that you made everything right! Menu, music, sound, graphics, scene progression, tiny creature movement. But maybe you lost some of the core in the game after making the few first levels. Really good work though on all the good things! :star2:

*PS. I was really annoyed that the sonar was used to shoot things, when it's really used to echolocate :face_palm: But maybe that's just me!*
