The water bear model was amazing, but it feels more scientific than spring cozy vibes. I can suggest modeling foods (plants or bacteria it can eat), and the main player can be tweezers (unless it's like a microscopic player!); I think the environment you made is a petri dish, which is awesome. Another thing is maybe implementing the status of the water bear for the users. Overall, solid game!

I think I'm being stalked by tardigrades. In the last game jam I participated in, there were three games about tardigrades, and here's another one haha.

All jam time went to Waterbear model. :D  For me it stuck on first food drop and would not move anywhere.  Not sure how it's spring relaterd tbh. Waterbear model is cool though. Good job.

Very sweet experience with taking care of the water bears . Seeing the little animation of them waddle over and eat the pellet. 

I understand the time constraints,  perhaps some updates to the UI and some tutorial text would be helpful for the player. 

Great work and look forward to your updates!

The waterbear looks pretty cool/cute!

Looks like the control for dropping food is actually the spacebar and not F! I didn't find any interaction with anything so I'm not sure about E either. Waterbear is cute, I'd like to see more. 🙂

Omg thank you for telling us about that, I did mean to put spacebar! E is used to interact with the tardigrade to bring up the pet UI! I'm working on adding better indicators in the future. Thanks for commenting!
