How does your game fit the theme?
The world is built to the tiny scale of soot mites. As you move them about the world, they scale in size to reflect their distance. They also scale in number through the course of the game as you build homes and upgrades, and your operation must scale with them.

I want to express my appreciation for your team's deep understanding of product design, flow, and aesthetics. It's clear that you all know exactly what you're doing. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience a game set in such a vibrant and dynamic world—it was a first for me, and I'm sure you've made many people's dreams come true. Perhaps next time, I'll get to fly a dragon?
Polished to perfection! Still blows my mind the detail can put into their games in just 4 days :o This was such a nice experience, it was intuitive and relaxing :) Impressive!
This was really fun! The gameplay was addicting and I loved the sounds the little characters made. The art was really great too. If you add more progression and release it somewhere, I'd buy it
I absolutely loved this game. The gameplay, the idea!!!! WOOOOOOWWWW
the art& animation is fire!!!!!!!! and music is great!!!
Very cool addicting polished game! The characters are very cute and the animations are amazing! Also the guy in the background adds a lot.
Absolutely amazing, love the tribute to Ghibli's movie, the art is adorable and the gameplay is actually really nice !!
Gggahhh.... So cute... So cute it makes me want to cry... So cute...
Props to the artist/s of this game, because their style is so incredibly charming and cozy, everything nice for a ghibli game. So happy to see you guys take the usual direction of these kinds of build-up games and make it super comforting to play!! Wish you all the best in the jam :D
Everything was very satisfying, when everything became more automated I was just looking at the balls of fur and picking them up to throw on the other side lol
What a phenomenal game! All the elements come together so nicely. There's a really good balance in trying to maintain which jobs are being worked on and what you have too much or too little in storage. You never feel like you're sitting around for too long but you rarely feel overwhelmed. And, goodness, the art is just fantastic. Incredible job, one of my favorites.
My favorite game from the Jam ( : . The sound is fantastic, The upgrades are really fun. The art is amazing. It never felt too easy or too hard, and it seems to have a high skill ceiling. Congrats on your game!
One of the most polished games ive played for this jam, Beautiful art, im not entirely sure if id agree with it fitting the theme, but at the very least it is a great game in the jam
Mixing the visuals of studio ghibli with gameplay reminiscent of Pikmin? This is like a game made specifically for me! Amazing stuff :D
This was super cute and wholesome! Seeing all of the sprites dashing back and forth was great. Excellent cozy vibes :)
