Fun little game after getting the hang of it, didn't realize the food was used for a while but figured it out eventually, The Ui was a bit hard to look at there's a lot going on so was hard to get the hang of the controls at first, but was fun after I got used to it.

Loved the polish on this! Some tooltips over the different items you can buy in the store would be nice.

Samhain SmashI think you should work on simplifying the controls and making it a little easier to play. I can see potential in the gameplay itself, but I struggled with the controls. That said, you've got a good fencing mechanic! Good job!

Grimwalkerawesome game, It took me some time to understand what I was supposed to do, but once I did the game got pretty easy. Also, I trapped myself a bunch of times, and didn't know I could jump the fence, so I restarted, haha

Uragirimono - 裏切り者Love the game and everything in it. I will say that the only thing I felt was missing was a way to remove fences you accidently placed down but other than that it was really fun.

Chaos's ChallengeAs a composer I quite liked the music, even the distorted guitars that came ouf of nowhere were quite cool :)
The animals are really cute and it does make you want to spend more time with them. I suffered at the beginning with the controllers and all the elements but overall I truly think is quite an original idea! Congrats :)

LucidVery cute, although I made some terribly disorganized fences along the way! Would love to get either more free interactions with the animals or more visual indicators of their interactions, so that I could get a better sense of the differences between each type. Looking forward to seeing your expanded content!

Leaky PipesFun game! I really like the fence building mechanic and it's really satisfying to trap a bunch of them at once. I love the rocking dragon on the guitar, he's the best. Great work!

Chaos GroveThis one is fun, but I didn't get how to use the shed, maybe it was automatic, but still I had fun!
Submitted
God of DemiseGlad you enjoyed.
The shed will be more important as we add in the additional fence types. Different animals will need different fences. Not everything will fit on your truck, so you will be storing extra stuff in the shed. For now you start with some free materials in the shed that you can transfer on the inventory page.
This is an amazing game, and I can't believe this was done in one week!
I noticed that you can press and hold 'Esc' to restart the level and I am blown away that such attention to detail was done. Like seriously, hats off.
As for the game, it is pretty fun. The game does have a steep learning curve tho because of the options and no easy to way to understand what all needs to be brought for what animal. Some text would be good for future.
Good luck!

Dodge The ShapesThanks. The extra day really helped us polish things up.
The tutorial did not make it in for the Jam, but is ready for our post Jam update. The Help page has basic controls and a few tips listed as a compromise, but it was a bit rushed. The animals and food aren't as clear because they are still a work in progress. We definitely need a better system for teaching how they work as we flesh out the functionality.
Glad you enjoyed.
This is a neat and very charming game, and I really enjoy the music! The store and inventory were quite overwhelming at first, but didn't get in the way of me having a fun time.

Absurd Herdgood game,controls are good,but there's no hint for the food preference for the each animal.it was fun to play.

bhasad mailThis is a fun idea. Once I played one round and pressed the buttons a few times, it became clear what I would need to do. Something like a tutorial would have cleared that up. It was kinda jarring to be told I needed more of a resource that I did not know how it would be usable, so I just bought three of everything, played my first round, and realized I couldn't fence anything in. From there, it made more sense. The sheer number of things you put on the screen in the shop also set me aback. I'm sure the loadout would have been helpful if I played more and for longer, but just diving into it seemed overwhelming. It might have made more sense to have the first (tutorial) round before the shop with an endless number of fencing, which is then changed to a limitation, so the player can play around and learn. Otherwise, I'm impressed with how fluidly the fence-building mechanic came out! I liked making crazy shapes with it.

Tempest HighNice game and fits with a theme. It took me multiple games to understand why I could not build fences over certain amount, but after that it was pretty fun.
Submitted
LavaManagerNice game! It lives up to the chaos theme. Is there a way to pick up fences once you've placed them?
Submitted
By-Laws Not My LawsI love how well the music matches the animations and mood. Fun game. Took me a second to figure out the controls.
