Wow! I'm very impressed. I love how the world has variety. And really lovely music!
I did find a small bug where, after digging, I fell through the world. Also, maybe a lighter sound could be used for the weather alerts, they felt just a bit intrusive.
But really well done! I loved playing this one!
Nice game! Some quality of life stuff on the web version was quite bad though: after pressing esc, i couldn't look around anymore at all, and I couldn't exit the buidling menu, which makes the game... pretty unplayable. That's sad cause it looked nice and I laughed hitting an animal even though the game is called Save the animals x)
I totally agree. Thanks for the feedback. It's a lesson learned.
I built for desktop, spent the last 2 days getting it working "ok" on web. Should've just released desktop only and focused on balance and bug fixes instead of web performance.
Wow this game was amazing!! It started off a little rough but after a few tries I got some stars and the upgrades make this game feel so so good. The audio, the animal models, everything was so good. Literally a perfect score! I think this could pretty much be a fully fledged game! Only thing I didn't get was what the shovel or pickaxe were used for but otherwise this was so so good. Amazing amazing job!
Thank you <3
Hee-ho. Cool game. Modification of landscape is very nice
Nice game! I like the adaptive music and the idea. However, I'm unsure how to exit the buildings menu, I didn't have enough wood and just had to restart.
Selecting another item does it. It turns out that was an awkward choice.
Nice concept. Found it quite difficult though.
Maybe a bug: clicked to place a building, then realized I don’t have enough wood, but couldn’t cancel the placement.
Managed to chop some trees and build a kennel. Didn't have enough meat to attract the foxes in time. With some balance changes (more trees, more time), this would be quite fun :)
Music is nice.
Well done overall!
Agreed - definitely needs better balance.
Liked the raindrop effects, unfortunately you need a lot of wood to actually build something and getting this wood takes quite a while, and when i was almost ready to build something, game told me i died, it seemed like i didn't get upper or smth, anyway, great concept!
wow that’s a lot of game packed in for a game jam. really cool. Love the look of the graphics. I think I ran into a bug where I dug through the ground and was underneath the ground but overall was really fun
Wow it was definitely deeper than I expected. I loved how it looks and feels calm. Loved it keep going <33
Nice concept, art and music, very chill to play. Enjoyed it <3
Awesome environment, well picked graphics and sounds, a lot of content to play, good implementation of theme, great work overall.

This is certainly huge, especially when thinking of a game jam, great job!
This game is phenomenal! The perfect blend of engaging mechanics, creative design, and impressive visuals makes it a real winner. It’s evident that the team put in a lot of hard work and passion. Hats off to you for an amazing accomplishment!
Thank you so much <3
Extremely impressive for a week long project, super on theme, and just all around quite an interesting little game to fool around with. Well done!
Thank you for your kind review :)
Huuuge fan of the music!!
Truly amazing! I played this for a while! It's so fun, clever, and overall amazing! Great Job!
(There is a bug where if you right click while carrying an animal, the animal freezes, and you can't pick it up again, or kill it.)
Thank you so much :)
Fun little experience. I sadly glitched out of the map when trying to kill a pig though and lost all my progress :/ (was playing on browser which wasn't recommended). Great job though!
liked it!!! (⌐■_■)
Lots of things to discover, really interesting. would love to see more
Really interesting concept. I like it has a lot of mechanics
