Useful Tips:

CREDITS:

CHANGELOG

A minor fix has been added! (took like a minute)
+ Restarting the game after the completion now works correctly
+ Every animal now bites your hand correctly (1 small mistake let only rabbit bite your hand)
+ Godot Embedding error fixed (See the guide if you made a game in godot and have the error too)

Love the artstyle!

Really lovely art and music style.
If I had to search the critters in a future update, it would be so rewarding to pet them.

HangoverGames8 Oct 2024, 12:54

It was nice experience, reminds me of feeding my cat with a snack, he could bite a finger with it

Smogobingo8 Oct 2024, 14:15

Great art, good job!

Bobap8 Oct 2024, 14:49

So adorable. Axolotl is the bestest boy.

Fleur8 Oct 2024, 16:13

Really cute game :)

Kirass8 Oct 2024, 17:46

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

Nazariglez8 Oct 2024, 19:58

Really cute game with amazing art, especially the big eyes on some animals that make them super expressive! The bites and little splashes of blood were a fun twist, and the music adds a cool vibe to the whole experience. Great job!

ccollider8 Oct 2024, 19:58

Wow this is a great concept, and the combination of art and mechanics is really funny!

asfdfdfd8 Oct 2024, 20:09

Those creatures are as stubborn and dangerous as my cat. I'd like to eat them myself.

DeerCat8 Oct 2024, 21:45

Interesting concept but maybe a bit too easy. But as a game jam entry it was quite fun and congrats on finishing in time

Kirill2289 Oct 2024, 10:11

10 escaped axolotls / 10.
Very good graphic. But gameplay is boring maybe needs another mechanics

Boodle9 Oct 2024, 10:19

Absolutely gorgeous presentation in both visuals and music! I had so much trouble feeding the axolotl because I was coming in at too high of an angle, but eventually I got through to its heart! This team could go far with this art.

Karenchik9 Oct 2024, 11:34

It's a very cool game. It's drawing perfectly. I reallu like the style and variety of animals. A very relaxing game with a calm vibe, the music feels like something warm and pleasent. The cutscenes are also very well rendered. It's good that a simple and understandable explanation of the gameplay is shown at the beginning. It was very nice to play!:)

LDJam user 3875489 Oct 2024, 11:58

Adorable game, atmosphere is great and music so relaxing, I liked it!!

Kama9 Oct 2024, 14:41

oh my gooooood the creatures are absolutely adorable!! i loved befriending them, 10/10!!

Lucy Z9 Oct 2024, 14:43

Druids' friends are so cute! I love the feeling of feeding them; I have to be so careful not to scare them. It's like feeding real animals. Also, the art style is really cute!!!

AriPizE9 Oct 2024, 14:49

A really awesome game! I love the art and the concept! I totally beat it.

Glassar9 Oct 2024, 14:49

Nicely done, very cute game and a really good simple music track that doesn't get anoying while looping

Winter22779 Oct 2024, 15:13

Very cute and unique! Loved the designs on those creatures and their unique food. Well done!

galaxybat9 Oct 2024, 17:30

Perfect little game for me, I love the fantasy creatures

Filip Vannfält9 Oct 2024, 18:57

Very cute and cool art, the music was chill and fitting. The gameplay itself was a bit frustrating, and I quickly got irritated because I could not tell if what I was doing was right. But overall, I like the idea and theme. Would like to see more of these creatures!

robin_schmitz9 Oct 2024, 20:33

Oh my. I've just melted due to the cuteness of these lovely creatures. Hopefully they are fine, after I accidentally scared them with rapidly approaching food. Simply lovely

p0l4r9 Oct 2024, 21:36

Nice little game, well done. I caught 'em all

lsdlx9 Oct 2024, 21:48

beautiful game, designs and audio are greeeat!! Well done !

Iwant_Pizza9 Oct 2024, 21:56

Doubtful but ok?

Meru9 Oct 2024, 22:26

Art and concept are really great! I liked the Style very much.

LelulaGames9 Oct 2024, 23:35

Great art, loved the different creatures. A bit of a trial and error to figure out what to feed to each of them, but still nicely done.

darefus10 Oct 2024, 00:10

relle fun lil game, def new game concept i havnt played b4 i like feeding lil guys v cool jar of sauce very difficult to not have fingers bitten

library-rat10 Oct 2024, 02:56

A really cute game. I loved the axolotl with a helmet altho I always make it run away.x)

TavEVIl10 Oct 2024, 04:23

I love all the little critters you can befriend!

FTZ10 Oct 2024, 04:30

The art was great. BTW I saw that you fixed the Godot Embedding error and managed to fix it too :)

JackLeHamster10 Oct 2024, 05:42

What beautiful art, all the creatures are so cute, and the music really fits well. Great concept as well. I couldn't really figure out what the other creatures eat. I liked the variety and the expression of each creature.

Risminatorauthor10 Oct 2024, 06:22

Thanks to everyone for feedback!

If you are confused what to give the animals, you can try looking through the tips on the bottom right! (A paper with green arrows)

stormburpee10 Oct 2024, 08:35

This game is super adorable! The art style is beautiful, and each creature has its own unique charm. I love the way you have to carefully figure out what food to give them—makes it feel like you’re actually interacting with real animals. The relaxing music adds to the overall vibe, and it’s fun trying not to get bitten. Great job!

IRoRoI10 Oct 2024, 08:59

cuuteeee!!!

Andreadbx10 Oct 2024, 16:51

The cutest game i've played so far this ld, expecially the little Axolotl (not the jar tho :v), lovely art and amazing soundtrack!

Obidiix-MinusInfinity10 Oct 2024, 21:49

really liked the design of the creatures, very creative indeed! the music fits well and the gameplay is simple yet fun for what it is; The only missing feature would be sound effects but apart from that it's a very well made game

Laywelin11 Oct 2024, 14:08

Great animations, drawings are cute and idea is fun! Well done

Jeffez14 Oct 2024, 09:45

Really cool game, was fun playing it. Was a little difficult to understand the hitbox for the axolotl but found it. Loved the art btw.

Keep the good work !

Exa15 Oct 2024, 07:54
