Great game.
Worm strat is OP. Only counterable by worm strat.
It's just so much fun to combine random animal body parts! Altough there 17 levels (if I remember correctly) I finished it quite quickly, because somewhere around the 6th level I got a snake body with legs of some animal I dont remember, and after that it was just super easy, because the snake hit like a truck and could one-shot kill every enemy. Some more levels and maybe a more difficulty would be welcomed.
The visual, the audio and everthing inbetween is very well done. It was a pleasure to play this game. It is the kind of game I would to play on my phone, just quickly assemble a few pets and put them to fight.
Great work!
Great idea with the combination of dead animals!
I was missing a few small things in the mechanical aspect - I didn't expect destroyed animals to come back to life, sacrificing parts was a bit strange, but everything was fun. Especially the basket (read: mass grave) for body parts. :)
But I'm missing *something* (and I've been trying to figure out what it is since the weekend). Maybe the supposedly funny naming of the mutants, maybe legendary parties, the little effects of the characters, something. maybe some other piece of morbid comedy and humor, I don't know yet.
The biggest downside for me was the messy audio. At the beginning in the tutorial, when you move your mouse ,you can hear very weird sounds! (of the hovering mouse over objects)
Also, the battle music ends before it gets intense, it starts building up, and then it's dead again. It should be intense from the beginning!!
And the battle sounds, I respect that you've covered all animals! But the sounds are sometimes very weird and unsatisfying, but definitely kinda funny.
HOWEVER!! The ART is beautiful, the gameplay is VERY fun, and the vibe is great! It remind me of Botanicula (a scene where you construct animals from different animal parts, and you have to create the correct combination)
Not many ingredients utilised here, but sacrifice and reincarnation are done very well in my opinion, so I'll give props for that.
Very well done overall!!
This game is incredible. From the stunning visuals to the funny sound effects, this game will keep you wanting more.
The mechanic is very well thought out. Each animal has a unique ability that compliments others and facilitates strategy in order to complete the game. It is just difficult enough for me, where you can't complete it randomly but there isn't "one correct strategy".
The art style is breathtaking. Animals are stylized and have character. Backgrounds pour the atmosphere all over you. The UI is intuitive and simple.
If I were to nit-pick, there were some minor problems I had. First of all, sometimes my drag and drop was bugged and I had to look for the pixel where I could actually grab the animal (particularly the snake) and it got pretty frustrating. I felt the music wasn't the strongest (it was fine) in contrast with the sound effects which were great. I do however appreciate that it was made by you, so good job. Also, upgrading an animal for the third time requires 9 parts but there are only 6 slots - maybe a visual that you can't upgrade anymore would be more intuitive. The game is balanced ALMOST perfectly with the exception of the snake. I felt like it was way too strong and the only counterplay to it is another snake but other than that excellent job on the balancing.
Maybe the biggest problem I have with this game is the use of the ingredients (or the lack thereof). I clearly see "sacrifice". I can understand "My home, my castle" even though the game doesn't really explain you are actually protecting the graveyard rather than just going to fight (as is visually represented by the road and the sign battle). The "reincarnation" element I just don't see that much. I understand you mix and match different animal parts but this to me isn't really reincarnation.
In summary a really impressive game. Great atmosphere, great replayability, great balancing and design. Very polished, EXTREMELY fun (even though I'm not really a fan of auto-battlers). The biggest problem in my eyes is the use of the ingredients and maybe some minor visual details. Great job to everyone who worked on this!
