Cool concept. A bit difficult to play,

Honestly was meant to be easier, have tutorials, areas for creature assembly etc. Unfortunately life can get in the way sometimes - thanks for playing even though it's a little clunky

Cool concept. and cool visuals over all! GJ

Developer

Thank you :) for basic solid colored tiles, the shading turned out nicer than I'd thought it would! Thanks for playing :)

This game kept me playing for a good while after I learned how to make the creatures. Super cool concept!

Developer

Thank you for playing :) I'm glad it kept you entertained for as long as it did!

Excellent concept, keep working on it, it has potential! Wishing your son a speedy recovery!

Developer

Thank you! The GDD on the itch page shows what I wanted to implement haha - but this project was very fun so I'll definitely keep on with it in one way or another :)

Super cool concept—mixing and merging creature parts kept me experimenting way longer than I expected!

And get well soon to your son!

Thank you for playing! I'm glad it kept you involved for a little longer than expected - I was hoping for some cooler game loop objectives but I'm glad what's in it is in it! I appreciate the feedback :) 

I also appreciate the kind words

I did, in fact, assemble some creatures.

Here's an example of how to bundle parts together to get a creature.

When a life core is placed, it checks 3x3 around it to see if all required parts are nearby, if they are then a creature will be created. 

This works best if you bundle the Head, Body, Arms, Legs then place a Life Core onto one of the parts.

Unfortunately my son was hospitalized and underwent surgery during this jam, so I'm submitting what I managed after around 3 days of work.

Due to this, it is not mobile friendly, and there is an existing issue with middle mouse button camera pan on this web version hijacking the mouse (use middle mouse again to fix). 

You can merge 2, 3 or 5 of the same tier item to make a better tier (this was supposed to be temporary until I landed on how many to combine for the nicest experience) - it remains in the undecided state.

Discover how many creatures you can, I wanted a leader board but alas.. I may continue with this after the jam. 

Thank you guys, I hope it's somewhat enjoyable!

That's sad. I wish your son a speedy recovery.
