Loved this!! Had a lotta fun, and nice graphics! Small 'bug' I found (spoilers):

If you click behind the chest of drawers in the right spot you can get the hint about using the right pin- even before you've moved the drawers to the side to reveal it! I discovered it by clicking at the base of the globe while stuck at one point, used the pin on 'each side' of the base of the globe (which did something, but didn't help me progress). Of course once I moved the drawers later on in the game I realised it was a hint to a puzzle I wasn't supposed to find yet, which explains why it wasn't doing anything to help! Just thought I'd mention it :p

I like the game but I will say it's a little difficult to visually tell the different ant classes apart without zooming in quite a lot. The ai art cards also feels very incongruous to the style, I honestly feel like a 5min scribble of e.g. an ant with speed lines behind it for haste would fit the style and feel of the game better and give less tonal whiplash lol

Cute game tho! 

I love this tbh, very nice game art (the devil design genuinely goes so hard I love it????? Both the silhouette and the 'actual' look) and the cutscene art is gen gorgeous <3<3<3<3

Great game I loved this!! :D

Love the art! Curious how many endings there are? I've gotten 3 :D
Also spoilers:

The turtle was a very unexpected twist, pretty effective! And pretty creepy :0 I love that both times we look at the orb for the turtle it's the same image, with it staring back at us. We can't see it's future because of what it is, it's blocking our magic sight, I love that! Or at least, that's my interpretation :

Just wanna say I had the missing X block bug too! Not just you :0

Banger, love the art!! It asks for me to say my favourite and least favourite things so: 

My favourite is probably the art again :p Really lovely style and vibrant colours, I also enjoyed the sense of progression and getting further and further each try! 
I also had a lot of fun using the eggsplosives, very satisfying to shred a huge area of terrain :DD Also loved the upgrade that auto-collected everything upon clearing a level, super useful and saved me a lot of time scampering around!
Also appreciated the detail of the names saying SuperX as an easy way to tell if a Minioh is powered up or not, rather than something that could fade into the background like an aura effect- especially for when they stand on each other!

My least favourite was how it was a little fiddly trying to grab the right Minioh when they're all standing on top of each other- or my backpack if again everyone is stacked in the same spot. Perhaps something to get the game to prioritise picking up unconscious/idling Miniohs? And prioritising the backpack over Minioh to avoid having to retarget the lil guy and wasting valuable seconds, especially early on!
Another fiddly thing was outfitting my little friends, though it did get easier when I realised I didn't /have/ to use the mouththing to get them to drop everything if I just wanted to give them a single new item, so that was good!
Another thing is that it was a little difficult to aim at the right block sometimes, often they'd attack the closest one they hit rather than the one I was aiming for- perhaps they could target whichever your mouse is hovering over rather than first contact so they don't go after the wrong one if they clip a corner (which can be hard to avoid)?

I am curious if killing the heads does anything? I'd expected the surrounding tentacles to explode or something, or go limp, clearing that specific facet of the infestation? Do the tentacles get weaker if the head is killed?

But yeah I did have fun with this though!! :D

As I was making it I was thinking to myself "Oh if only there was a rat..."

Lo' and behold.

10/10

I love this so freaking much, the art style is actually perfect for this oh my god

The gnarps,,,,they be gnarpin'

Surprisingly difficult! Took me a hot minute to understand what to do, but did have fun c:

I love this so much oh my god?? What a creature, the little monster is freaking adorable I love the little blush marks and the colour palette and the the way they open their mouth when holding a fly close, it's so cute!!!! And the gameplay is honestly pretty freaking fun, I love the mechanics of pushing yourself up on your arm and sticking to walls, the movement is genuinely really fun and I loved grabbing the flies (and sticking a particular green one into the spikes for giving me just a bit too much trouble trying to catch it >:[ Jokes on it, I ATE it. It was delicious. Apple flavoured =w=) 

10/10 genuinely loved this

So far I love it, great graphics and honestly the lack of music is surprisingly nice, just peaceful ambiance :3 Very intrigued by the contents of the castle >:0

Do wanna mention there seems to be a bug, I'm grinding popcorn for evo2 and I've realised the popcorn multiplier seed upgrade is actually negative, when I upgrade it makes me earn /less/ pop per corn, rather than more. Wondering if that's why I'm struggling to get the 30bil popcorn despite having every meadow upgrade except the fishing trash one >.< I've been grinding w an 18%+ popcorn bonus and only have almost 3,,,gonna be here a while methinks ._. (Though I'm hoping there's an upgrade after the bottles one that'll help me out)

EDIT:
After hitting evo3 it seems to be working properly now, as in adding not subtracting. I'm pretty sure it worked correctly earlier in the game as well, so I'm not sure of the conditions that caused the bug, but it definitely was negative during that peroid, I double-checked the floaty popcorn numbers multiple times >.<
EDIT2:
Just bought the Prism Shine upgrade and I'm pretty sure the popcorn value went down again. Obviously I cannot double check as it's a 1 time purchase though :v

--
Oh also I can eat copper pipe joints, rusty anchors, ruby/amethyst debris, round robo-fish, sapphire shard- assuming that's not intentional (though to be fair I am not a pigeon, maybe it is a delicacy in pigeon culture)

--
I also have a tiny suggestion to change 'feed' to 'eat' for fish, as at first I thought I was feeding the fish to something else rather than my own stomach :p I'm also not sure what the difference is between the feed button and the auto button for the sparrow? And what the 'spend amount' does depending on what number I put in? Another is how it says '1 active' when I have a buff, it makes it seem like I can have more than 1 active at once, but it doesn't seem to let me, just overwrites the previous buff- which might also be worth warning in a popup or something to not waste a fishy :0

I only mention these for the sake of improving intuitiveness, I am genuinely enjoying the game :D

EDIT: Just unlocked the upgrade for multiple buffs, I see why it's worded like that now! Might still be a good idea to have it be like 1/1 buffs active

--
Editing /again/ to add: It's not clear which popcorn is butter and which is cheese as mentioned in the upgrades- additionally the gold is very similar in shade to the beige for the special popcorn colours, it's a bit hard to see the difference :0 I'm also thinking how hard it might be for someone who's colourblind- perhaps the special popcorn could have a different shape? Like one more bump for each rarity tier, with the basic remaining a square. But that would be extra work with the sprites so idk, just a thought I had! 

I love this so much, especially the voiceover I didn't understand a word and yet I understood perfectly anyway, and good voice acting :D 

"Based on real-life events." uh oh

Ohhh this is so cool, very surreal with both the art style and concept :D I adore the way everything turns to outlines when you close your eyes, it looks so cool :DDD

Made a house :3

Quite a cute little game :D My biggest difficulty was that the crosshair was REALLY skewed away from the mouse, it was way lower right than my mouse was which made coordination a bit tricky >.< (For reference I'm on a macbook on chrome, if that makes any difference?) Also idk if I'm just bad at remembering which hotkeys are which but I often had to hit a bunch of numbers before getting the right slot- perhaps having them labelled with numbers would help?

Are the recipes that show up all of the ones in the game? I'm curious if there's more content that I didn't realise was there as "data-driven recipes" makes it sound like it's maybe based off what you have, but I could see tool recipes with resources I hadn't gotten yet so I'm not sure :0

Either way I did enjoy this, I think it's really nice visually as well :D

Really cute, nice art style and the clothes are creative :D

Nice game, the art is really really cute, I love the little faces on the mould spores :3 Also enjoyed the subtle storyline of it growing bigger and bigger through the levels!

God I actually teared up a bit at the end, this is gorgeous. Genuinely absolutely gorgeous

(Little note that the memory icons seem to be swapped for the droplet and the plus sign, they don't match up with their upgrade constellation shapes!)

Cute game!! :D

I love this it's hilarious, love the detail of the dog also in the supermarket wearing a mask 

I love this so much!! It's so freaking cute, the whole concept of money laundering taken literally, and by raccoons of course-! It's just incredible :3 The art style is incredibly charming, I love the way the racoons are kinda hunched carrying things with their little hands, and the 'boss' is too small to sit at the desk so they're sitting on it instead- the way the tails stick out of the baskets and the eyes peek out of the lockers and the way they have their hands up against the glass if you put them in one of the washing machines- (the fact that you can put them in the washing machines at all!!) everything about this game is so incredibly charming <3

I also really like the design for the auditor, picking an owl was an excellent choice, especially with the wide orange eyes, really feels like they're staring you down!! It's so easy to hide everything at first but the more you progress the more raccoons and money you have lying around and it becomes such a scramble to try and hide everything, almost impossible! But tbh I think that adds to it, and at that point the fines aren't a big deal anyway! 

The grabbing can be a bit finicky, trying to pick up the right thing, especially when there's so much going on later in the game. And, I presume this is probably unintended, but the raccoons can actually grab things out of your hands but it's honestly too funny to even be mad, like the sheer audacity of them snatching something directly out of your hands is freaking hilarious and really fits the raccoon vibe I think >:P

I did have the occasional bug, once I accidentally managed to drag money under the map and my poor little helper was so confused trying to reach it, another time I accidentally banished a helper to the ether (I just saw his little snout falling down the far right of the screen, and he was Gone), and another time the auditor froze up, but quitting to the menu and continuing fixes all of those problems since it reloads all the money and raccoons! :D

All in all, quite a good game, I really enjoyed this and smiled while playing it <3<3

I love the art and the variety of characters :D

Really cute, love the art style especially c:

Very nice :D

God this game is genuinely so cool, I was just surfing for games to play but the opening to this game really intrigued me, I love the setting and premise, it's already memorable and unique, the sense of mystery gives an allure to playing, wanting to uncover more the more you progress, it isn't just about numbers going up, it's about understanding what happened, and what will happen. And most of all, the music is SO GOOD I was genuinely jamming out while playing- and I adore how the beats of the machinery often sync up with the music and elevate it, it's so cool <3

SPOILERS!! VV

Very cool twist with the gate, I do love how it's a gradual opening though as opposed to a set number, we must keep up the flow of bodies! I like how the person symbol is visible from the start but unexplained, it made me curious, and the reveal of what it meant was so menacing! And I love how it goes in stages of upgrades, to first learn, then understand, it's hard to describe but it gives it a sort of emphasis, that there's stages of denial before realisation. And it's curious how the perspective seems to warp a bit over the course of the game, becoming more obsessed with understanding the substance and understanding the gate and then finally deciding to do what was required to open it, it's a short game but it feels like a succinct story of a loss of humanity, you begin by trying to understand what happened to Old Gloomhollow, and by the end of it you sacrifice New Gloomhollow willingly, out of sheer obsessive curiosity. They may not have known what was under the gate, but they knew people had to die to find out, not just one or two but large swathes of people. It's made even more unsettling by how the town was created for this purpose, it was just a small workforce until they knew they needed bodies, and started luring people in, getting them to raise their families there and build the population for the sole premeditated objective of sacrificing them. It's honestly haunting!

I genuinely love this setting, the entire story is so interesting it makes me wanna know more :DDD 10/10 awesome experience

Love this, great twist

Cute game :D

Absolute goddamn banger this is incredible 10000/10 

In all seriousness I love the humour in this, and the graphics are simple but really charming!! The highscore for crossing over your own body is funny, I love how the giant crab didn't wanna move cuz it was comfy (real) and called us puny, and losing cuz you kissed the other sea monster too many times is hilarious- even moreso when I kept doing it anyway and the text admitted defeat- I love this so much it's genuinely so funny

ooo neat :D

YOU!! GIVE IT BACK I NEED IT!!!!! 

But yeah genuinely a super charming lil game you made!! The vibes were immaculate and the variety of puzzles kept it fresh throughout, and some were pretty creative (like the multiple-mouse ones!) ((mice? of the non-squeaking variety)), and lovely graphics and clean UI, genuinely very good and well polished, you should be proud! :D

incredible

Really liked this :D The lil character nomming my mouse was incredible 11/10

Lovely art!! It's very pleasing to look at, and I like the layering effect  that gives it depth :D It took me a moment to realise I needed to scroll down, but in hindsight the arrow was pointing down so that was my fault I think :p

I will say it's a bit difficult to play with a trackpad in terms of right-clicking. It's a bit fiddly and becomes tiring, and multiple times I've accidentally left-clicked instead and lost >.< If I may suggest an alternative way to move the screen, e.g. arrow/wasd keys, scrolling, or holding down space then clicking and dragging?

Regardless though it is a fun game and again, very lovely art, it really has a very rich atmosphere to it <3

Edit: I think I beat the game! :D (Or died at the last second, not entirely sure, I'll consider it a win :3)

I like how the longer I played the more I noticed, like how the yellow beetles are slower and easier to capture. But I kept getting the feeling the scarabs knew when they were encircled, but when I paid attention they didn't react, took me a minute to realise it was only the yellow ones that notice!! I love that each type of scarab has their own strengths, the blue ones are faster but the yellow ones are more aware. I also realised a bit after that that the yellows actually speed up when going for your line, and move noticeably faster than their normal walking speed! Love details like this :D

This was freaking hilarious 10/10

Love this!!

I really wanna enjoy this, the visuals are great, the idea is hilarious and the jokes are painfully accurate, but the game suffers from a rather severe bug where bullets simply pass through enemies. If it were occasional it'd be frustrating but playable, but it's so often I'm genuinely wasting probably around half my ammo. And that's WITH lining up zombies to shoot through them so the bullet will hopefully hit at least one of them. 

It makes it next to impossible to actually clear the area around the phone, all I can do is stand in the far corner and just kinda wait for them to move, rather than actually fighting them with any kind of real strategy and offence. I ended up using the 'p' key just to give myself more ammo to try and make up for all of it I was wasting, but I really wanna try beat the game legitimately and not have to resort to that >.< 

Like this, it's kinda just more frustrating to play than fun, which sucks cuz everything else is great!! I really like the graphics and models, and all the little visual gags with the cat ears (like the headphones being awkwardly floating, the cat ears on the mug, the cat ears on one of the big square boards, and all the little jokes like putting "vice" in "service"), it's genuinely a pretty funny game, and while the bug does make the gameplay frustrating, I still appreciate all the rest of its merits :3

Love it!! :D

Beautiful. Incredible. Jaw-dropping. Life-changing. Very polished and genuinely pretty funny, the impossible quiz bit was a real throw back, 10/10

Neat game :D

Super cute :DD
