How does you game fit the theme?
You are managing a group of meerkats and you have to fend off predators. So you are not alone because you need to look out of the predators and because you are managing a team.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes but I used a font I made for a previous game jam.

The idea is really fun and I had fun trying the game. It was a bit difficult, but it was not too bad. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! :D

I guess I'm not skilled enough with speedy & precise mouse movement because a meerkats was knockout each day making me last 4 day max T-T Maybe increase a bit the snake hitbox are decrease a bit their speed? Other than that the ressource management part seemed nice and quite intuitive (I couldn't really test it halas with my 4-day survival skills xD)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely need to adjust the enemies a bit! :D

Some nice simple gameplay but you did and awesome job adding a story to it. The pixel art was also very cute!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! :D

Really liked the concept, using the "you're not alone" as a positive thing instead of a monster like everyone else

Though it would have been more of a ressource management game like zoo tycon or something like that, but you managed to find an other way to manage meerkats !

Thanks for the feedback! :D

Cute game. Probably the only one with Meerkats! It's also easy to understand the basics to expand into resource management. A future idea could be to be allowed to choose which task you do. I think our games had quite similar base ideas even if the execution was different genres. Keep it up!

This game is super cute and quite well designed. I kind of worked out a system and managed to survive for 15 days. It would be nice if the knocked-out meerkats could come back after a couple of days. The graphics and sound are simple but effective. I thought it might be neat if the meerkat's eyes looked towards where you click when they're looking out for predators. Overall really nice work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I was originally going to have it so meerkats could be revived if you had over 100 food but I ran out of time. :D

I really love the concept it's something very unique from al the other submissions. The art and audio are both amazing I had a lot of fun to playing. Great job!

I really like the concept of the game! At first I was a bit confused since I thought I didn't need to click the eagles since they were so high, but eventually got the hang of it (the snake sprite gave me so much joy for some reason haha). I kept losing since my meerkats would get knocked out, but still had fun nonetheless! Nice work!

This is a cool game! I like the idea here. It was really fun to see how long you could survive while delegating various tasks to all the meerkats. In the future maybe you could let the player manage the food gatherers for a break from watching for enemies. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback! :D

Nice game you got there! I enjoyed the game even if I lost again and again.... Maybe I was bad at it. Really interesting game. GoodLuck with the jam and I hope you rate my game too.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Good luck with the jam! :D
