How does your game fit the theme?
The "Loop" is found in the way life interacts with each other, grass grows on soil, chickens eat grass, fungi eat dead chickens and replenishes the soil, and the loop keeps going.

Very cute art! I love that you went with the "circle of life" route and made it a fun puzzle. It would have been nice with some bg music just to complete the cozy vibes. Good job!
Thanks! It definitely has music, and sound effects, so no idea what happened.
Pretty Zen-like and relaxing, the gameplay loop is awesome!
However, I encountered a bug which ended my run :(
I couldn't place a mushroom on a dead chicken, no matter what I tried, nothing was overlapping with the chicken either and I tried several rounds, did I do something wrong ?
Besides that expand on your Idea, your game concept is great.
Not at all, theres a bug in the way the game handles picking up pieces. I'm figuring it out. Thanks for playing tho!
Keep at it, your design is fantastic!
This is a surprisingly detailed simulation.
Like playing chess with life itself. Very fun! :)
This is a fun little brain twister, making you think before every move!
My game is a cross between Super Mario Galaxy, and Cuphead if you have any interest!
Such a unique little puzzle game with a dope and simple art style! I did encounter some bugs, though, which stopped me from being able to survive. also wasn't sure what the point of the vertical grid was. Either way, this slapped!
Pretty cool game. I don't really understand when I can or can't plant grass under a chicked, and my chickens die for no reason because of it, and the game doesn't give me anything to place after a while. Pretty creative idea though. Good job.
This is quite a fun game! Makes me wonder if I would be a good farmer, I keep having an army of dead chickens... But I love the strategy of it and the tutorial was great :)
I am not sure if it is a bug or a card limits but I did not get 2 chicks when my hand loooked quite full. Maybe worth telling the player :)
yeah, it has a card cap of 10. honestly i didnt though anyone would go that far ahahah, thanks for playing!
This game is amazing! Perfect implementation of the theme and also really fun. The music and sfx are just perfectly fitting for a chill game like this and the art is really cute. The only complaint I had while playing was that in the end of the tutorial something didnt work quite right and I couldnt move the chickens in other spaces, wich was why I had to restart the game and because you have to finish the tutorial first before starting free roam I got a bit frustrated. But nevertheless this game is amazing and I had fun with it! :D
I'm glad you enjoyed my game! I noticed the game had bugs but I didn't had time to solve them so I added the restart level button, but it seems not many people noticed it was there. Anyways, thanks for playing!
This is the type of game I love!! Amazing implementaion. Had fun with it for a hour. Thanks.
Oh that's amazing to hear! Thanks for playing!
I love this game lol So pretty. I played it for way too long. Those chickens are so funny XD It reminded me of playing The Password Game, you know, with Paul always starving or overeating.
Well done!
What a great little game. Having a hard time keeping my chickens alive though
Very unique implementation for the theme, well done! very fun arcade game.
Wonderful idea, it fits so well with the theme! I had fun playing ur game and i think it's well balanced too :)
Amazing idea with great graphics and having a tutorial made playing it easy and very enjoyable.
I'm just wondering, what do the higher squares do?
honestly, it was product of scope creep, initialy, there would be higher tiles, trees (also, animals on those trees) and flying animals but I had to discard it. If I continue the development from scratch, I will probably add those features. Thanks for playing!
this is a really cute game. :)
