Was something meant to happen when I reached 300 gold? Cos I reached that and nothing happened. Very relaxing game, I just wish the buggers would stop squirming so much. It made them quite hard to grab when you were in the faster time setting. It also took a bit to figure out what to do, but the nice art and music motivated me to figure it out. Otherwise, I don't have much to say, other than great game, impressive for the jam period!

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I know there are not enough instructions in my game. So, the goal of each level is not only to mine enough gold but also to grow enough population. Once you reach both conditions, you can go to the next level. As a short period in jam, there're not much new in later levels but new graphics and lighting effects.

Wow! This is such a cute and intricate little game, I'm amazed you were able to accomplish so much in just one week, great job!

Really solid game ! Every thing is well putted together and work nice. it becomes hard to read when there are 5-6+ people and after the first level there isn't much to discover but this is a great potential !

Developer

Thanks for playing! I completed coding of the basic mechanics in the last few hours with only one level. I knew that's not enough. I made the 2 and 3 levels at last hour without new mechanics but new visual effects. I enjoy playing around with Unity 2D light tho. 

Will work on UI and new mechanics after the jam! Look forward to it!

Thanks for playing! I will play your game later. There is a long list of games have to play. I wish I could play them all.

I love the visuals and the music , great job :D

Submitted(+1)

I think you have a great game with great potential!! I'm not 100% certain exactly what to do, but I love the music and the characters are super cute.

A beautiful game, it was challenging for me to understand how to get started even after reading the instructions. I'm definitely slow to understand most games, but still felt it was worth mentioning. Once I got rolling I realized how incredibly polished your game is and how much time you must have put into it. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the comment. Sorry for my poor English. I hope you enjoy playing the game.

I really liked the art style. This is great!

Really polished and chill game. In the first level I was just thinking like "If only you get into another level" and then you did. Good music, good graphics and smooth enjoyable gameplay.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I made the second and third levels at the last hour as when I completed all the basic mechanics. That was in a rush, so no new mechanics in the later levels.

Submitted

Yeah, thought as much. But generally, the core gameplay was fun. When more of the minions started to appear you really had to micromanage a bit.

Developer

Have you played the third level? You need to manage 20 minions to win xD

But don't recommend you play it from the beginning, it takes too long. I didn't make the level select option.

Submitted

I played only the first level and some part of the 2nd. But even with 5 minions you really had to start keeping an eye on the stats for all :D

Developer

Managing all minions manually would challenging. But I will consider implementing some AI to help. Maybe a minion work as a waiter to serve others? What do you think

Submitted(+1)

Very cute game! It gets quite challenging when you have many creatures. Sometimes when they are at one place its hard to get the one thats starving. But all the mechanics work very good together. Well done!

Submitted(+1)

Wow that was surprisingly complex. I really enjoyed playing it, great work! :)

Submitted(+1)

Very nice game, I think the only problem I had was the fact that it can be confusing at times what certain objects do or what the little creatures need in order to be happy. But overall it was fun to play!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I have not enough time to do a in game tutorial. I hope it doesn’t border your gameplay too much. I will make it better after the jam!

Submitted(+1)

This game was very interesting!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game, but I didn't understand how to make babies, they just kept jumping when near the tends

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I know the instructions were not clear enough. So, if you want to make babies, you need a pair of cubies in different gender(color), of cause, to be very happy. When you see the pink pixel effect on them, put them on a tent. Babies will come out after they fun time ;)

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game. if you want you can check my game out

Submitted(+1)

Jack this is so well polished. Beautiful looking game with cute animations. I spent a lot of time playing around and raising my creatures. I found out a little late that I could get them to use the tent to make more.

I couldn’t tell if there was a “win” condition of if you’re just meant to continue growing your creatures. I’m going to come back soon and play around with this a little more.

Awesome game man. Hope you do well in the rankings.

Developer(+1)

I finally have time to reply to your comment... Many thanks to seeing your comment.

I think I could make it more clear for the "win" condition of each levels. Maybe an animation of cubies seeing the gold mine.

I will further develop this game after the jam because I still have lot of ideas can add to it. Of cause, it will be nice if y'all give me any suggestions :)

Great game about the pursuit of "happiness" and ... incest!!! j/k, that was really one of the most polished games I've seen yet! Only critique is the UI could get a bit cluttered at times. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the comments! Haha they are actually incest LOL I will improve the UI in further development. Couldn't do it well during the short period of time in jam.
