Nice concept, just needs a leaderboard for highscores and a bit more diversity.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! Just can't get as far as I wanted, but I'm happy I published something in a short amount of time, and manage to sleep  ;)

We had a lot of fun testing your game during our live stream today, here is a link to the video archive if you missed it or wish to check again:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFx5tA14Nyc&t=6778s

Awesome game, good gameplay, and cute design. Hopefully we were 2 to play, alone, it must be quite hard!

Thank you for playing my game and many other games in this jam. In the end, you seem exhausted from the concentration you needed :)

Hehe yes, we were tired. Your game was the last game we tried, but it was really worth it! Great entry

Submitted

Really original, took my quite a while to understand the mutation, but once you get it, it's pretty cool

Submitted

Nice concept, but it's quite difficult when there are a lot of dwarfs.

Submitted

I find this so hard to me because I can't keep an eye of who is save or not, but I love the idea of this!, nice game

Submitted

Really fun idea for the theme! I loved the cute art and the gnome puns, too. Great job!

Submitted

Very cool idea and fun to play! I found it a bit tricky especially if I didn't have the right mutations that I needed at the time

Submitted

Neat! Brave to make a pandemic game during a pandemic, but I had fun! I like that you have to apply the mutations in a grid area, and that you sometimes have to cycle some mutations before you can find one that will save you. I also like the way the gnomes look, very cute.

At first I plan other disasters, but time is ruthless !

I had a lot of fun with this! Very cute game with a unique concept! I love the look of the gnomes, and the sfx are great as well! Great work!

Developer

Thank you

Interesting concept and a good use of the theme. I really liked the music and sounds.

Developer

And I really like your name ;) (thanks for playing)

Submitted

Great idea! Took me a while to understand the "shape vs color" mutations (of course, I didn't read the tuto beforehand, but who does).

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I don't read them either ! :) (thanks for playing)

Submitted

i love it

Submitted

Cool game idea. Nice implementation. Good graphics.

Submitted

This game looks great, its fun to play (if not a little bit repetitive), and its got a great name to boot. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing  and yes it need some diversity.

Submitted

great audio and art, it would be great to have a tutorial in game though.

Developer

I run out of time (T _T)

Submitted

Seems like the strategy to get a long-running population is to diversify your gnomes as much as possible, similar to real-life! At times the game was frustrating when I had to spam the mutations in order to get that ONE mutation that would save my people, but other-wise the game was pretty fun!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it need some tweaking, and stuff to diversify the gameplay.

Submitted

That was fun, you can really get into a groove with it. 25000+ population and I only stopped because it got repetitive. A random event or options to build things on tiles, or quarantine groups or something just to mix things up and cause a scramble would help vary the experience. 

The core is good but it could use contrast to keep it interesting.

Developer

Thanks for your valuable feedback. I had some of those idea but no more time to implement them (T T)

Submitted

That is how jam's go. It's still really impressive for such a short turnaround.

Submitted

Great concept and execution. With a bit more polish, I think it's going to be a fantastic game!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for your feedback

Submitted

It was a really cool idea. Overall great game.

Developer

Thanks for playing.

Submitted

Took me a little while to figure out how to play, so some instructions would have been nice, but once I figured it out it turned out to be a really fun game! Nice job!

Developer(+1)

I agree, I got no more time for a tutorial. But I just realize I can make a tutorial in the page description (yes I'm a little dumb :P )
