This is a cute game! It would be nice to have a display in the background of all the biomes so I could learn what each decoration does and how i used it.

Super cute and cozy game.  I love the designs of the creatures., I only got the see half of them but those all looked very fun. 

I wish there was a way to flip the decor, that could have added a lot of visual variety. 

my first Goober I made, his name is Todd Goobard.

Thanks for the words, and awesome gooberium, perfect for Todd :)

Interesting little cozy game! I wish I had a shelf to put the little biomes on as I went so there was a more visual representation of everything but it's a very visually cute game and it was a nice change of pace!

Add animations to biome (animated grass, leaves, wind, cube shake) with pattern-less calm sound.

I think your game would be great of giving feeling of calmness where you have collect different creatures.

The art genuinely looks amazing. I could definitely see something like this being expanded. While I only have a few of the Goobers I will be returning to get more. Amazing cozy game and amazing job guys!

I love that there are so goobers many to discover!!! Had my girlfriend play as well and she loved it. She played it more than my game lol. Well done!

Submitted

When it showed many goobers were up for discovery I was surprised, there's quite a bit to discover here! The art style  is adorable and the music was chill, I had a good time just experimenting with the variations, but I do love my og bulbfrog.  Also, love the term Goober haha

Loved the game! Nue is diffidently the cutest! At some point I didn't know what combinations i've not done yet xD it's hard to keep track of that at this hour :P

Submitted

Cool concept with great graphics!

I hope that one day I’ll raise a goober, train it in kung fu, and destroy the others.

Such an interesting game! Loved all the goobers I collected! The artwork is stunning. Kudos to the entire team who worked on this!

 Love the art and idea.  Awesome game.

Very interesting game! It was neat to mess around and see what animals would be created. The game had a very high level of polish and really felt professional. The only thing that I didn't like was that it was hard to really tell which options you did already after a while, "wait, what humidity levels did I do already and what should I change to see how to get another creature?". Once I figured out what I was doing, it did start to feel kind of a chore to put everything in the terrarium. I wonder if there would be a way to make it feel better? But anyway, great job!

I got the Spinopod first <3

I liked the different concept. It is really cozy to just try to create my tiny strange place and see what comes to live there :)

Great game! My favorite is Neu. I’m sure if they sold plushies, they would sell! (Probably)

Submitted

I love the art style and the idea!

Submitted

Not usually my kind of game but did enjoy this. I absolutely loved the art style  and the Goober designs!

Really nice theme that matches the game jam them quite nicely. I'm impressed with the amount of art you've created in such a short amount of time. It might be nice to quickly alter the current environment to quickly create a new goober rather than restart from scratch. It's cute and cozy.  

Submitted

Really cute and simple concept.. While i would have liked to play with the goobers more, there's something charming about a simple and cozy collection game. Well done
