I felt bad for working my zibs until they were dizzy. Moving them around was kind of rough. I would've loved an RTS style unit selection box that I could use to just pick all the zibs I needed. Or if the buildings had a "select all zibs" button. Either way. Was neat. I liked it. Good work.
Love the art and the concept is really cool! Had a good time making the little Zibs go about their business!
I found having to click each Zib and move them to a space a little cumbersome especially with the angle the camera was at where things got obscured very easily.
Overall I had a lot of fun, tons of potential here!
Absolutely gorgeous art style. The whole world feels really cohesive and charming. I had a lot of fun just watching the Zibs do their thing while I built around them. There is a really relaxing flow to the gameplay and I can definitely see loads of potential with a few tweaks. Amazing work!
Once I discovered the power of JUICING my Zibs, I became unstoppable. finished in 13 minutes :)
The art style for this game is incredible. I really, really loved it. Gameplay is simple, but I played a full 20 min game and finished it. I think with some tweaking, this game could be really excellent. One nit pick I had is that I never needed to purchase another pen for my zibs. I think maybe adjusting the qty they can hold would help maybe? Or maybe I'm just bad at these sorts of games lol. Great job! Keep making games :)
Now that you mention it, I suppose that buying plots already increases the theoretical amount of Zibs you can hold, given that most of them can hold multiple Zibs. I guess this would leave the Corrals to be useful for increasing the amount of Zibs that can rest/recharge at once. I really appreciate the feedback!
I meant to ask this earlier, but what kinds of tweaks are you talking about? I'd want to know this kind of feedback in case I come across any similar areas in other projects
Well, for the amount of buildable stuff you have in the game, 20 mins felt a little long. Now, maybe I played it wrong, but I put out like 5 buildings and then just focused on keeping resources flowing. But I think if you tweaked the win conditions so it was a tad bit shorter, or added more buildings, it could be a really neat little game. Also, still got some of my favorite art in the jam. Kudos to you on that front.
