it matches the theme, nice art, music and sound, it's just like any other clickers games, addicting, although it needs more content other than drag and click maybe some tombstone that takes up space and you need a certain evolution of boss to destroy it, cause the only way to get game over is to not have enough space which is VERY rare, or a human that harm nearby boss and have to move them elsewhere, making use of the fact you can move bosses rather than evolving them, other than that clicking and dragging sometimes work sometimes don't, (FYI: fullscreens allows me to see the congrats and game over panel XD)

good game :D

Developer

Wooow! Thanks for very nice feedback! I like the tombstone idea very much. Fixes for aspect ratio and hitboxes and stuff is coming up! :D

A bit addictive. Found myself playing this longer than I planned to. Really liked the art style.

Time for world domination!

The art style is so endearing and the underlying story is so fun. Great game!

Really loved the art style and the combinations! Well done!

Very cute art style and music! I love the concept and the interpretation of the theme. It's a very simple merge game but it was fun and could easily be made into a full cellphone game! Great job!

Developer

Thanks! Hopefully you will get to see it in a mobile near you sometime in the future. :)

Thats a cool implementation the the classical game. I like your arte style and the music is just relaxing.

Definitely played this one for too much time XD

Developer

:D Thanks!

Good take on a classic genre, I really like the execution and the art style. My only (minor) critique on a otherwise near perfect game is that the skulls spawn in a little slowly, which is kinda annoying if you don't get the pay off you usually get (the satisfaction of building some 50th tier beast, which you obviously couldn't because of the time restrictions). You should be very proud of this, nice job <3

Developer

Thank you so much. <3 Our backlog is full of stuff we wanted to put in there. Patch inc when we're allowed to. :)

It was pretty fun, but gets repetitive real fast. The art style is very nice, I got to the point where the boss has an axe, but it took very long to get there. Nice job!

Submitted

Great job!
It's a little long for a jam, but the idea is very good. 
It could be a great mobile game if you could progress with the project

I love the artstyle! There's a lot of fun in waiting it out and persevering in the game to see which creature shows up next. Though the game gets a bit repetitive, as after each "boss evolution", the next one takes double the amount of time to make as the previous one. Maybe make the skulls spawn more frequently or make higher level bosses spawn to make the game more challenging and interesting. Despite this, it was super addictive due to the high amount of things you have to do (even though it takes a long time to make new bosses, you are always moving stuff!) and the fantastic artstyle! Fun game overall!

Submitted(+1)

This was so much fun! It's deceptively difficult as the bosses start refusing the move. A fantastic waste of my time, thank you.

Developer(+1)

"A fantastic waste of my time"  - this is all I could ever ask for. thank you. :) 

Submitted(+1)

:D After I stated this I kept thinking about your game and had to come back and finish it to see the final boss. So even more fantastic of a waste of time than I could have imagined! You are an angel for making this <3

Developer(+1)

Aaaw! <3 I'm so happy you came back and bred the final boss! Now on to conquering the world! :D

I’ve played it through twice now, I’m literally obsessed

that's really awesome artstyle! good job!

Thank you! It means a lot coming from someone who also made a hand drawn game (it is so lovey, just played it and will aslo rate ofc). 

Submitted(+1)

I love how random game ideas are created and hti sis super unique. I kept going and going to see how far it went and it was super fun! :D

Submitted

Cool game! I really like the cartoony art work and the spooky music! Good work!

Really reminds me of the smartphone evolution games where you also combine creatures and stuff. I think maybe making it more similar to them (as in having the bosses produce money with which you can buy the skulls) would have made the game a bit more interesting gameplay wise. Anyway this is an enjoyable little 5 minute experience

Submitted(+1)

Really great job with the art style and the chill vibe of the gameplay! There is definitely something addictive in waiting for what the next evolution would look like, nice work :)

Presentation is immaculate and the music and sound effects work extremely well! Felt immediately accessible and intuitive on how to play.

Submitted

This is nice, I like having a game with a little more of a chill pace after playing all these hard platformers lol. I was a little confused I couldn't breed together the two dog-like bosses, I wasn't sure if that was the highest threshold or not. The artwork is very cute though, I liked the presentation of this game a lot!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback. Yeah, you CAN join the two doglike ones, it's just that the hitboxes were all one-size so the larger monsters are harder to get a grip of. We will fix that for a later version. :)
