Top 20! Congrats!

I saw the game on Mark’s top-20, so congratulations on that! The concept is similar to my game but the execution is better in every single way imaginable: they visuals are nicer, the creatures cuter, more content, better balanced, there’s more to do (click and drag rather than just click). I am really learning a lot from this so thanks!

Great visuals and FANTASTIC concept.
Honestly, this game is great 👍

Such a great idea which fits the theme perfectly. The difficulty needs tweaking in my opinion, perhaps with a way of recovering a fail state without having to restart (a way to cull an area of orange puffballs, or a fresh red puffball you can add perhaps?). But overall, a clever way of gamifying Lotka–Volterra dynamics, and very well presented.

Very cute but very difficult! The music and the look are perfect, and I love how much challenge you've managed to pack into such a simple premise. Definitely fits the theme perfectly. Check out my game if you get the chance!

very challenging but fun!

Incredibly addicting and annoyingly frustrating :-). Great design, art and sound -- the whole package.

Wow this got pretty tough by the end. Great concept and a lot of fun!

I think some more selection tools (drag to select, select only one kind of puffball) could have relieved some of the frustration of gameplay a bit, and slowing the game down a tad might've helped too.

Overall a lot of fun and I would play more of this.

I thought this wasn't very complex or well thought out playing the first two levels, until you introduced the red puffballs. HIGHLY addictive afterwards. I can totally see this being a successful mobile game (The presentation is already perfect imo) with more levels and the other kinds of puffball added, plus maybe slowing down the gameplay a tiny bit. Would love to see more of this.
