I lost my Wife, I lost everything! Loved how chaotic and frantic it was, and took a bit to understand what was going on, but once I had it, I did what I could to save them. I've noticed you can absolutely clip through the wall btw, loved how the music was dynamic, wish it looped better, I think on of the tracks just snap to beginning instead of being a clean loop. Really well done for a decent little meme game.

What a super cute idea! Really enjoyed the gameplay, even if I think you can make it more challenging by increasing the difficulty over time, for example by increasing the speed at which the hunger bar drops, or by increasing the number of items and lowering the amount of wood in the final stages.
A detail I loved is the dynamic music that changes when each beaver dies, and in general I have appreciated the sound design. Maybe the death scream is a little too much but still a cool idea.
Great work!
i love the beavers as an interpretation of the theme! good work!
Great job! This was really well designed, and I love the family photo at the end (esp when the whole family is alive lol) I was never sure how often the hunger bar goes down, so I just tried to feed the family as often as I built the dam, I mean I would definitely prioritize my beavers living! Great job, loved the game design!
Wow I thought you made a very strong submission here. The yellow plastic rings were especially impactful. Overall, really nice job on this very meaningful game!
Nice aesthetic and very original idea, only that scream is a bit too much
Nice theme and nice aesthetics.
I don't get the dam mechanic. What is it worth for?
Also congrats on creating all your assets!
I like the concept of the game and the physics are good, the scream of a dead beavers are kinda funny but the barrier you're building up is kinda far away and first I didnr even get that his family is behind the barrier you need to feed, but you learn after playing it!
A creative and meaningful take on the game jam theme. Great artwork
Another game that made me despair for what we do to our surroundings :( great game, especially loved the picture of the beaver family to tug at the heart strings
Fun had a nice message, and had great art accompanying it . Really had fun playing this. Keep up the good work you guys ;)
They are so cute and they are safe!! I love the aesthetic and it played really smooth. The slow down mechanics are great! Great job :D
Nice! I really got into being a busy beaver trying to grab all the wood.
Well done, great art, great music. I thought I had to eat the trash so it wouldn't reach the familiy (maybe it was just me lol). Love the details, cute menu, great job overall!
Gotta steal the other guys comment and say "Dam Good Game!" as well haha but really that was fun! I was really vibing with it getting into a rhythm. Let me know if you want some chill music to add to it, and longer tracks. I did the music for my game!
Also, the death sound effects scared the shit out of me I loved it. Nice detail letting the river slowly flood too.
This game was awesome!
Dam good game. Great job with all you made from scratch for this jam! The game was not super challenging, so I did not get to appreciate the detail of changing the music as much, but at least the beavers survived.
