I adore the art style of this game! I like the hand cursor too that’s cute hehe. The interactive items in the map scene are so cute! Adds a lot of personality to the game. The gameplay kinda reminds me of Kabuto Park, I really like the vibes. The stage scene was a bit confusing, I wasn’t sure what I did to win/ lose lol. I did enjoy finding new creatures, fun exploration mechanic. Overall a very pretty game. Great work!

Very cute and cool with the stats and all! I like others did not understand the battling, but still very cool!

A Dark NightVery cute! Like others, I struggled with the battle. I thought I was getting it but lost so definitely was off the mark but it seems like it would be fun to have a little “creature sequencer”.

TheDarkestDepthsReally liked the concept, and the visuals are so good! Being able to click on almost everything is a cool touch. I don't understand how the battles work, but still a great game!

Bomb SlashWas a bit confused at first, but it clicked pretty quickly once i got going.
Lots of lovely little touches with some really really impressive artwork, Think you've all done a really good job, would like to see it expanded upon in the future.
Nice!

Ronin's RetributionThe mix of the art, sound design and UI are brilliant in this game. I was a bit confused about what to do at first - think I got there in the end and managed to form my band! Would have liked a little more guidance I think, otherwise the polish is very nice and I liked the little easter eggs when you click on things :)

On Being NoticedI loved the artwork and audio but I really didn't understand what to do on the stage. Still, it felt nice collecting cuties!
Submitted
Sonar HuntI love the creature's artwork but the same time I do not know what should I do on the stage. I clicked random things and I won ???
Besides that, I love the hand cursor and how my mug fills with marshmallow.

Agent Kam-E-LeonOh, I loved your use of the cursor, nicely done. The embedding of the UI to be elements around the central game map was also well done (and the little touches like the marshmallows in the coco and the power bar). I'm not sure I quite understood the game loop, and there might be a slight shader or asset loading hang right around the time you're selecting which spotlight to turn on (if it's a shader it might be fixed by pre-using it invisibly in the title screen) - or that could have just been a slow down in my browser.
Oh, the artwork was also really well done, very cozy.

Ninja FishingThe artwork is absolutely incredible, and the level of interactability with the UI elements is really cool! The gameplay could have a little more depth to it though. Still a nice entry!
Submitted
Find That GOOBER!!Clicking on things were really fun, really solid UI :D I enjoyed collected the musical pokemons critters. Just kept collecting until I realized the rarer fish wasn't in the band lineup because it was full lol
Submitted
Illusory ConnectI enjoyed this due to all the fun artwork and things I could click on.
I wasn't sure how anything worked though, could have used more help / tutorials. Or maybe I missed them.

Giant Worm Arena RumbleBeautiful artwork on this one. Love the tiny details (sunscreen-customizable custom cursor), overall I feel it really delivers a cute atmosphere, but not the biggest fan of the critter mechanic.
Submitted
MicroscopiqueVery cool game, I gotta say I really love the art for this one and the cool little trinkets on the map were a nice fun touch. I got kinda confused at the gameplay and like what the actual end goal of the game was. Also not really sure what the stats meant but maybe I'm just going crazy and missed where it was but overall cute game with some cute creatures

Where Am I?Appreciate the feedback! I agree on the confusing gameplay. I’ll try to update the Itch page to explain things more for future players.
The goal of the game was to collect all of the badges on the map screen. They light up every time you catch a new one. The band camp was more a way to listen to music and play with your critters, but I think it was more complicated than it needed to be.
I also just updated the Itch page to explain things hopefully if you feel curious.
Super nice game! I really liked the theme and the little details in the UI, great work!

Mole Of Duty: Project Shadow MolesLoved collecting those little guys. Satisfying to discover something more rare. Might steal that aspect for future games of my own!

Phone SmartI loved spam clicking things, it reminded me of those tiktoks where they have the little plastic hand on the end of an extendable stick. Really cool and ambitious idea! I did lose my way at the actual music part, maybe some bits got cut for time. Sometimes it told me I won before anything had really happened, and I expected them to combine into different songs but couldnt really make anything out. Great work!
