The more pets you have, the harder it is to keep them from eating one another!


banner.pngNoah loves animals, but can he fit all of these pets into his apartment without losing some of them? A short and sweet puzzle game.

Controls: It's a game about animals, so use your mouse!

Made with: Godot Engine, FamiTracker, Photoshop.

My first time participating in LD. I made everything by myself from scratch, but missed the compo deadline, so am submitting it to the jam. Hope you enjoy it!!

Thank you for playing,

Duc Vu. aka GastricSparrow

Nice puzzle game! It's simple, easy to understand and still challenging. It could also work well as a mobile game.

You made me think. Good game. I can't really say much on your submission but I do want to point out a few things.
* Detection for the combination of animals should be better. One of the stages got me waiting for at least 20 seconds before proceeding. I am guessing you're waiting for all of their move_speed to 0? I suggest using a stack array would be better and matching it on an array you set for the level.
* Also the repeated end screen, you can just add a condition if more than one is missing then don't restart the Failed animation.
* The music is good. It allows me to think at least but it could be better if you went without a main line that stands out too much.

Other than that, this would be solid past time puzzle mobile games. If done right. Good job!

Reminds me of tsumtsum. Pretty simple puzzle game but I like the polish - cute graphics, music and sound effects.

Thanks to all the nice comments guys! Jiri, very happy to get high praise from you.

@fiakaiera - Wow, thank you so much for the super helpful feedback. I realised I still had time, so I tweaked the collision and win condition a bit, it should work better now ^^ Not good enough at music to attempt to change that now though, haha.

@randomphantom - Thanks! My hours hunching over polishing cute animals was not wasted ^^

A simple concept that is working good, well done.

What kind of battery cage living apartment does poor Noah live in? I really liked the graphics. A cute puzzler that teaches children about the food chain.

Nice game! I liked the puzzles, and it was fun to complete.
I thought that filling up the animals to reach a certain line seemed a little out of place. It would have been fine to just have to use all of them without any getting eaten.
I love the title. Its a funny concept

A simple, yet quite fun concept that suits the theme quite well. I really like the riddle type puzzle game. Some improvements can be made with the variety of challenges or just the variety clues even, to make it a little more engaging in the long run. I also noticed that sometimes it took a long time before my succes was detected, you might want to look into that. All in all, well done!

Really cool idea, I love puzzles! It seems like the actual physics determine the outcome, though, which is a bit weird.

Well done. Simple and easy to understand. Nice sounds and music too. Great job.

Neat game :) The gameplay is really nice and love the art as well! Found a bug in the 4th level: my snake (which was on the 4th place) was so long, that I didn't have to add mouse and parrot o.O
Great job :)

Thanks to all your nice comments! @nivbeth I actually intended the level to not need all of the animals, so ppl can have different solutions. May have done it differently now but it is how it is!

Everything in the game is so damn cute. That was pretty fun. I wish I could remember which one eats which in the randomized level, but I don't really mind. Good job.
