I need more info on how to play. If there's nothing in game at least write something out on the Itch page.

The critters are cute, but the game really needs clearer instruction.  I did get one thing sold, but I figured it wouldn't be worth spending all night over...

Played live!!

Thanks for playing! I wanted to make a tutorial but ran out of time while making assets, I'll try to avoid making a mistake like this next time!

I was pretty confused on what to do for quite a while, but I had fun trying to figure it out. The game needs a good tutorial. I would also recommend not putting a big block of text in front of the screen at the start. Overall though, I enjoyed the little/big critters.

Thank you! I'll try to dedicate some time for making a tutorial the next time, the block of text was a last minute decision because the game lacked any instructions. Glad you had fun nonetheless!

Really liking the charm here, but needs some tutorialisation. With some more polish this could be a really cool games! Nice work!

It was a bit confusing to understand how everything works but the charm of this game more than made up for that, some things really had me laughing!

Really nice game, love the concept! I could have done with a bit more feedback on what I was supposed to do and maybe I did something wrong but I don't think I could buy something in the shop?

Hi! Thank you for your comment, I'm really glad you liked it! 

Regarding the shop: Have you pressed enter to buy? There's a text at the bottom that says so but it's really easy to miss now that I'm looking at it.
