Neat lil game but i found it pretty hard. Just in the general course of doing things the happiness plummeted down to -25 and the like, then suddenly i lost. Wasn't quite sure why. I thought I was managing to juggle the humans well but apparently it wasnt enough for hte octopus

Breakfast ChaosThis is a great little game with funny dialogue. I struggled a bit at the start to work everything out, but eventually I managed to last for 27 rounds. The controls are a bit buggy sometimes, but overall the gameplay is quite satisfying. I did find that some of the times I failed it wasn't clear why (the food or happy bars seemed to go down suddenly). Nice visuals and audio. Great work!

Paint the DarkThis got very dark, very fast. It's great! Nice visuals too.
Sometimes it's a bit hard to click and drag a specific human; going to negative happiness and losing the game is sometimes quite sudden and frustrating. I assume both of these things are due to a lack of time, so this is quite a solid game overall!

Pay With Your PalThe art is really great. Funny idea for a game but its a little hard while trying to explain the mechanics.

Zombies Aren't Your FriendsThat's a fun take. I was having some troubles dragging from the sides to another location.

The OrbFun little game! I am a benevolent god and decided to accept everything and everyone! New arms or legs? Come aboard! Pets and religion? Let's go!
I used to reproduction as a human farm, replacing tired humans with the newly born and ended up not using the resting "room" though, but that's okay.
Overall I had quite some fun playing it, well done!

NotAlone Inc.I like your game, at first I took great care of my little characters and the more time passed the more I became a heartless boss! Ahah good fun anyway!

NOT ALONE: Kill'em all!I like these kind of management games a lot. They’re usually based around “taking care” of your citizens, so this one is interesting with its much darker perspective. It felt like it was less about strategy and more about how quickly I could drag around tired humans, but it’s very possible I was missing something in how I played. Either way love the art and tone and the UI is nice. Thanks for sharing. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.

Foo HeppyVery good game you have made here, i'm a big fan of art design in you're game. Soundtrack is also good. One thing that only was an issue for me, was that i could not clearly understand how it all works at first, and it was a little bit confusing even after longer playtrough. Still, good work
