Super fun! Totally panicked when the storm hit, my army was not ready.
This was very fun!! I got lost in the mothions of taking care of my monsters, completely forgot there was a storm coming :( my poor babies!!!!
A very cool idlle game!
The visuals were pretty nice, and the game was very cool to play!
Please make sure to also rate my game.
Really nice graphics with interesting monsters. Nice twist at the end. Can build upon the idea for sure
Great job overall
Excellent game! Not much to say about this one. I loved the mechanics of upgrading all the pets and seeing all the great sprite work you did! I do think at times it got a little repetitive, but I think you could fix that pretty easily with some minor tweaks. In particular, I think making bulk purchases slightly cheaper would give the player a reason to look forward to the next "unlock" in the shop. The tree upgrades are also way more powerful than the pet upgrades, which if you figure that out, you basically just spend the whole game buying "fertillizer". I actually managed to upgrade the tree so much I got negative cash XD.
This is all really minor feedback though - overall I think this game was really well put together. The twist at the end was really cool to see too!
This game was a joy to play. I freaked out about my little guys evolving and called my wife over to show her. I would (and did) die for them. I think the feeding gets a bit tedious after a while once they are fully grown, maybe a grazing mode where you can put out food for them to go and eat? The art and music were great as well, very cute! The twist with the storm scared me! I was not expecting that. Overall, very good submission!
Very Cool!
I love the idea, and honestly some of the sprites you did are just insane for one week, big props!
Would love to hear your opinion on our game Meathook Massacre :) Cheers
This is an adorable game! I enjoyed taking care of my plants and all the little critters! Overall, well done!
I played a round a while with this and had a lot of fun! I noticed some things though: When you own a lot of creatures it becomes difficult to feed exactly the one you want to feed since they’re all in one place. A bug I found which made it all a lot more fun is when you fertilize the tree too much it disappears and gives you a high negative value of money per second (I assume because of an overflow) this then gave me negative money until I had a lot of positive money again. With that I could basically buy infinite food and quite a lot of creatures. That bug made the experience a lot more fun though. And I also really like the visuals and the sounds. Good job! Definitely one of the games I spent more time on!
when I noticed scythe, I thought we are going to kill all the monsters we grew for meat and sell it, because we are farmers, and they'll fight us so this is why there is a hp bar. and so this moment will "storm". like everything is cute until this moment. not gonna say it's better idea than it's now, just a fun fact

Loved feeding the monsters and seeing what they turn out like. Good job!
This game is so awesome. I totally forgot about the storm part and I was just enjoying the incremental calm portion leveling up my tree and getting a bunch of monsters. The storm added some nice challenge with having to defend my tree with my little buddies. I love the pixel art in this game, the friendly monsters look great and the evolutions are cool and the monsters in the storm are very cool looking too. I would've loved to be able to hold down E to spam feed monsters instead of having to press the button a ton of times. Great job on this, I had a ton of fun playing it!
Really enjoyed the art and had fun discovering the pets' new forms as they grow. Definitely a game with a lot of potential if the known issues in previous comments are fixed. Great stuff!
A pretty chill game :). Just wished that the player control wasn't so slippery . Some counter movement should do the trick.
Hope that you'll also rate mine https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690
Very interesting concept, really subverted alot of my expectations HAHAHA
There are plenty of areas that I feel could really be polished to make this game pop, I’ll list what I could find if you’re interested!
Polish details:
- Movement feels too slippery for someone walking on grass- janky target selection for interactions, when Im near multiple objects I struggle to feed the pet I want, or I end up feeding when I want to fertilize the tree, etc
- Sometimes pets glitch on the spot, constantly flipping left and right at insane speeds
- The game's audio settings do nothing to adjust the game volumes, and switching out of focus causes the music to glitch and loop weirdly
- My tree vanished after a certain size! and then my money exploded to super massive numbers and sometimes goes into super massive negative numbers as well
Charming game, really hope to see it shine through all the bugs to show its true potential!
I really liked the detail of how the characters evolve. The gameplay is great! The evolved designs of the monsters are very good! Congratulations!
wasn't expecting the monsters. very nice transition.
:'( my buddies...
