It fits the theme really well. I found the sounds a little bit loud, besides from that I enjoyed it :)
Nice cozy game ✨
We especially enjoyed the falling rocks mechanics and the idea of feeding the little mice to get them out of the way.
Well done ✨🍂🐁
So cute and romantic :D
I really enjoyed this! It was cute and the color palette is soothing and you were even able to make multiple levels. I also like that you're taking acorns to all of your friends and also appreciate that to get past the sleepy critters you bribe them with treats versus having to fight them or remove them or something.
Very cozy and the sleeping critter is adorable. The ending title is wholesome. You can have the critter push you into the bait effectively moving the critter for free. While trying this, I managed to get stuck between a critter and a rock :) I think interactions like this are very cool. Well polished game.
Regarding feedback: Art, music, gameplay was well polished and felt good. Story wise, it was not super clear why the critters didn't pick up their own acorns. I think to improve connection of gameplay and story, a reason as to why we are making the acorn delivery as opposed to all the critters picking it up themselves could be added. Perhaps even a delivery hat could be added for our little fella :) Alternatively, (hear me out) game could be reimagined with the same movement mechanics, but slightly modified story. Maybe we could play as 5 different critters, one by one, each picking up an acorn and heading to their home/burrow.
The pixel art is adorable, you made it feel really cozy. I found myself digging little tunnels before I'd figured out how to grab the acorns on the surface, so a quick first-level hint might help. Absolutely lovely work for 2 days!
Lol, thanks for playing the game. Sorry that the game didn't start with some hint/tutorial. We actually removed the text hint to make the game less cluttered.
Very cozy game !
Cool concept, nice music and visuals, one small issue is the lack of juice (particles when breaking a dirt tile for exemple), but despite this awesome game :D
Thanks for playing the game! Glad you liked it!
I'm not sure about the observation about particles not playing.
We have that digging particle effect added in the game. This must be one of those browser issues.
Just checked on Chrome 153.0, they seem to work.
Oh yeah my bad, I just tried it on Firefox and there is indeed particles, I played it on Brave the other day and had nothing...
Nevermind :D
We'll test on other browsers next time just to make sure. Thanks for seeing again and making that beautiful farming simulator.
Looks a bit like a fantasy console game. Very cute and cozy!
Thank you for playing. Yes, we were planning on making it one!
The colors very nice. Just the art in general. The name of the game peak too. 👏👏👏
The sound elivates it so much tho. It's rather simple, but worked wonderfully
Thanks, I enjoyed your TD game a lot as well.
Love the transition screen, very pretty.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I love it! Very cute game and the BGM is very cozy :). Great job on creating a full on game with multiple levels!
One small bit of feedback is that some of the SFX were a bit loud on my end.
Thanks for playing the game. Sorry to hear that SFX were a bit loud. We'll tone them down a bit nect time.
