Hey there, hero!

We need your help — desperately! Our peaceful lives have been turned upside down. Every night, a gigantic black hand with a creepy eye appears, collecting its terrifying harvest. We're just simple folks who never bothered anyone, but now we're living in fear. Will you step in and save us from this nightmare?

- LMB on any Sootsprites to spawn more during the day
- Drag&drop with LMB during the night
- Drag them to the shelters to save from _Hand_

The blackies are so cute! The sound suits them very well. I understood the mechanics of the game pretty quickly, but unfortunately one blackie died :(

Cute and innovative game! I wasn't able to survive a night with more than one blackie but maybe I am not a good gamer.

Such cute little dudes, this already makes the whole game)

As one your team said : we made a very similar game. That's funny ^^
The animation and sound effects make the little creatures really cute.
I'm not sure to understand how to spawn new creatures. It's writted "LMB to spawn blackie during the day" in the description, but I have more the feeling that it's automatic after a few night, correct ?

@djidanebe thanks for reply :)
No, you have just click on blackei during the day to spawn more
djidanebe9 Oct 2024, 11:28
@creativ4eg I try it again after seeing you're reply.
That works very well, indeed !
Sorry, I was previously clicking anywhere. Didn't understand I had to do it on the blackei. I suppose I read to quick ^^'

@djidanebe on the contrary - thanks for writing! I corrected the description after the comment :)

Игра просто очаровательна! Маленькие черные существа выглядят мило, а их звуковое сопровождение добавляет атмосферности. Довольно сложно удержать их всех в живых, но это только добавляет азарта и вызова!

Арт и анимация тоже на высоте – каждая деталь продумана и вызывает улыбку. Очень понравилась идея спавна новых существ, она делает игру динамичнее. После того, как я понял, что нужно кликать на существо в течение дня, всё стало ещё интереснее!

Спасибо разработчикам за такую креативную и душевную игру, хотел бы увидеть её развитие! 👏

I actually really liked the visuals and the overall mood of the game, good job!

Beautiful work! Those little creatures remind me of studio ghibli movies xD The cover art is really great, I expected to see something like that in game play but around the time of Jam they achieved something very good. The idea and mechanics of the game are very fun, great job!

Definitely induced some anxiety in me! awesome job! The art is really nice :)

Neat little game, simple yet very effective! Rules are simple to understand, and the graphics are great. Sound design is simple but goes well with the artwork. Nice work!

The visuals are simply incredible. And the sound complements it very well. The gameplay is functional and would totally work on mobile. I could definitely see this as a minigame in a larger professional project. Great work!

Oh how cute! Now if those little sprites would stop popping out of the houses, lol. Love the visuals, sounds were good once I turned them on. Maybe starting them at 50% would be better. But great overall.
Judith Hantisse9 Oct 2024, 23:39
Nice concept! The art style is really pretty, the creatures are very cute. I'm not too sure what the rules were for the little guys to get killed. I feel like sometimes they could stay in the red light longer than others.
In any case, I enjoyed playing your game!

The creatures are so cute, I feel so awful every time I get one killed. But the red light seemed to aggressively know where I was going to click haha. Overall this is well done, nice work!

The creature design and voices are top notch and immediately creates a really cool mood. Houses are fine although I don't think it really add to the visual appeals either, it's really mostly the creatures doing the heavy lifting. I like the gameplay in two phases. The light ray focusing a single dude works, although it could have been interesting to have it roam on its own and kill creatures in its area. Good job!

Super cute game! Playing this really gave me nostalgic vibes, like those classic clicker games where you build your own creature army and protect them from being attacked. Your entry brought back memories, and the creatures are absolutely adorable! I just wish it was a bit clearer at the start on how to hide and keep those little black cuties safe from getting attacked
Also \nNot sure if it's just me but I didn’t get any audio ;( but overall good job on the entry!

Indeed very cute and interesting spin on the theme, I too when started thinking about the characters was inspired by the Dusties, they are just too memorable.

@foursay oh, you have to try another one! :) Maybe in the main menu you could drag sound slider to increase volume

The creatures are so cute! Not only the design, but all the sounds they make! Certainly good job here :)

The characters are super cute! The monster is scary :p I enjoyed the mechanic but found it a bit too hard. Maybe because I was using the trackpad. I love how you need to take care of the little creatures and put them home but they also are a bit disobedient and keep coming out x) Very nice!

For some reason the black hand and eye seemed out of place with the rest of the graphics though that might have been intentional. Really liked the creatures.

@oliver-day yeah, it’s to create a contrast with the small, cozy 2D world and make the hand feel like something completely alien
