Cute art! At first I didn't know how to make things bigger or smaller, it feels weird scaling the buildings zooming in and out, hehe
Love the idea! However I think the game is a bit backwards if that makes sense? Right now you learn what size the houses are for each animal and place them so that becomes trivial. It would be interesting if you had to build the houses out of parts to make them the right size, and could scale the building blocks like you do houses.
Great work!
Thanks for playing.
The original concept was to have the animals be certain shapes (so a giraffe would be a box with a tall tub coming off it) and you would have to place house pieces to make the right shape at the right scale. Unfortunately with timeconstraints etc I had to simplify the idea a lot to just zooming in and out and only having 3 shapes of house to choose from.
Thanks so much for playing. A lot of people hav said thee hint was very needed. The original intention was for the animals to come onto the screen and ask for houses so you would have to zoom to the correct level to talk to them, and once you placed the correct house they would move into it. Unfortunately that was way out of scope for the tim limit so I had to reduce the comlexity down a lot.
I quite liked not having the ability to move the houses as it means people have to use the space well but I did include the undo button so you can adjust some things.
I appreciate the feedback thank you.
Thanks for playing. I tried to make the pictures obvious about which ones are long and tall plus the animals themselves show the scale (elephant is large, centipede is tiny). I wanted to include a proper tutorial but unfortunately I ran out of time. I knew people might struggle with this aspect so I did add a hint that can be shown from the tutorial screen to make it more clear.
Th floatig houses is a know bug and again I sadly ran out of time to fix it.
I'm glad you likd the concept even if it was not clear about the mechanics.
It's a very creative concept. I don't think im supposed to be able to build flying houses though lol
Aww I want to give every animal a home! Once I realized that you could place new homes on top of old ones I was able to make some dense housing!
What a sweet game! Nice, almost nostalgic art style too. Congrats on completing the jam and a neat project.
Very cute game, the music was chill. It took me a while to figure out how the game works and then I turned hints on which helped xD. Fun!
I was a little confused at first at how the scaling worked but when I got the hang of it, it became a fun puzzle. Also loved the wholesome theme of giving each animal a cozy home :3
Hi Walrusware! The game had really cool vibes and I thought it was really cute. I personally did have a bit of a hard time understanding what to do, even with the hints and the tutorial. I plopped some houses down, gave some animals their homes, and wasn't sure how to proceed from there. Either way, it's super original and well executed!
Fun and cute game. It's an original concept and I like how things shrink and grow with the player rather than being controlled "externally" because it makes things a lot more interesting.
A relaxing little game with an interesting idea. The scaling system was a bit confusing at first, but after I figured it out it was quite fun. The game is rather short currently (understandable due to Jam time limit), but with more content it would easily be something to sit and play for hours. Overall a very solid concept with a charming art style.
