Nice fun idea. Would have loved some kind of depth to the collecting process, like combining 2 to a better one or someting alike. But it was a nice simple search and find game.

Cool game!! Btw I was able to play this on my cell quite well :) kindof like eyes spy! I reckon this could be fun also in like other environments, eg like a city, or smth. Nice!

Avi3 Oct 2023, 12:18

Btw how challenging was it to set up the leaderboard? Any tips?

@avi Thanks! it was quite easy to set up the leaderboards. here's the video tutorial that I followed: https://youtu.be/-O7zeq7xMLw

simple and fun, well done!

The game is well made, it's very simple but I think it works well, mostly thanks to the leaderboard that brings out some competitivity

so cute mosters and It's really hard to find yellow hat monster

Wbertrand5 Oct 2023, 00:25

Loved the art, and it was an interesting mechanic, and well implemented!

You are such a jerk for making the most common and second rarest look so similar. Very solid and fun game. The leader board is a really nice touch

Great little game! I found the 200 pointer once and then never again.

Amolker5 Oct 2023, 11:38

I would have liked more depth in the collecting mechanics, but this has been talked about before. Now it seems that luck is more important than attention.
Anyway, fun game, something like find Waldo, great job!

Surprisingly addicting for how simple the mechanics are! I've been trying to get a 600 for a long time, but it's challenging! I think you need a bit of luck for the high value characters to spawn though :)
The online high score really adds to the fun.

Nice work!

I trained my eyes for real for this one, still got a low score :( But overall the game is awesome

Very addictive game. The relaxing music and finding/ exchanging characters was very fun and chilled. Great job.

very simple and chill game! It would been nice to see how much you could have used the ld theme but for what it is, its very well done.

Shulyn7 Oct 2023, 11:07

Great game, had a lot of fun. And man is it hard to find the one with a green hat!:D
Like it a lot!

Simple concept, but surprisingly fun to play. There are not that many "search" games out there. At some point I wanted to kill all the low points scoring blue guys. I do find the big inventory bar a bit annoying, it gets in the way of the action.

A good interpretation of the theme, maybe a lot of the gamefeel come with the leaderboard. A other mouse cursor would be nice. I had fun to play this game, well done

ffffchai11 Oct 2023, 04:19

The built in leaderboard is really awesome and professional! I've tried to do it and know how many pitfalls there are. The game is simple but fun and would like to play more! Nice job.

Very cool little game ! I like your art !
Fun and addictive game :)
GG ! Good job team ! :D

Super addictive game, I could see this working on mobile. I had a lot fun, at once point I started to question reality, do the monsters with 100 and 200 exist at all, hahaha. But then I got lucky, and found them both in one run, so I managed to have 540. It's really interesting concept, and it fits the theme perfectly.
Adding online leaderboard is great, it gives additional challenge in trying to compete with others.
Congratz on making such interesting and easy to understand game.
