A lot of laugh in this game. :D
Great entry and great take on the theme... and I loved multicolored alots everywhere! Good work!

That's really cool, I love the design of the Alots and that they each have their own name, super cute. Nice word playing also!

It took me longer to get around to writing a review for this than I would have wanted, but fortunately this meant I got to play the game both before and after your update.   Being able to drag an eggplant onto an Alot makes the game much more natural to play!  It used to be fairly frustrating to try to drag an eggplant onto the currently selected Alot only to fail, select a different Alot, and have the eggplant hop straight back to its original spawn location.  After the update, I found it a lot easier to immerse myself in the calm world of the game.

I feel like I got all of the different kinds of Alots (at least, one of each that shows up in the title image), but I wish I got feedback or congratulations from the game for having done so.  Even a simple counter like "Alot colors found: X/7" would go a far way in helping me feel like I accomplished a goal.  It's possible that there are more than 7 types of Alots, and perhaps if I understood the breeding mechanics better I would be able to find them, but after a while I gave up on the quest to search for more and just ended up satisfied with what I had found.

This game has a lot of charm.  Also, I can totally appreciate the Hyperbole and a Half reference!  Overall, Alot of Alot is a cute entry that's a welcome change of pace for this jam, with a less chaotic interpretation of the jam theme.  Great job!

Cute game! Here's my playthrough of it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/570130185

Thank you so much for making the video! It was extremely enlightening to see how people were interacting with the controls, and it was totally our bad for the complicated process. :) 

In case you were wondering, you were right that Alots had to have a heart to produce a baby from mating. They get a heart by being selected first, and then dragging the eggplant over them. Sometimes even that didn't work out because the bounding boxes were bad lol.

Used a custom engine just written using HTML5, Canvas, and raw javascript. We followed you on Twitch!

Hey! Justed wanted to let you know we pushed an update based on your playthrough. Eggplants are much easier to drag onto alots now. :) Thanks again!

Nice game! I find it really relaxing. Alot is a beautiful creature

Among the best entries I've played. Nails the mood with perfect graphics and audio for the type of game, although a little bit lacking in actual content. Could be expanded into a great game in my opinion, good job!

Developer

Wow, thank you! We agree that it needs more content, and we definitely have expansion plans. Stay tuned. :) Thanks again!

I didnt really get it haha, as I understood it you had to feed the beasts to make them reproduce but I didnt get how to get the 2nd food. Cool graphics and sound though

Developer

Thank you for playing! The eggplants just spawn every now and then.

I love a good surprise breeding game and I was pretty excited when I got my first purple baby! Well done!

Developer(+1)

Yay thank you so much for playing our game!

Your game is so cute, I love it! Needless to say, I made a lot of alots :) However, I don't know what does the food give you other than those little hearts appearing. Didn't notice anything different than that.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing our game, and for the feedback! The alots only make a baby when they have a heart. :) Good luck in the jam!

I didn't even notice that! I guess I had too many alots when I started mating them without food :)
