So simple but so addicting! The sprite work and animation has a lot of charm and it was a fun idea to characterise those gubus in the description. Makes me think of Pacman ghosts, would quite like to see those kind of quick animations between levels showing their antics to squeeze out that bit more entertainment! This was a really cool interpretation of the theme, didn't expect testing my ability to size up groups to get me to keep coming back for more.

I think the only thing that gets in the way of initially onboarding someone to this game is how the goal and your abilities are communicated. I didn't have trouble with the sizing goal but it might help to contextualise why we're only rounding up a specific number (e.g. only x number of parents have called to drag their kids in), and it took me a while before I figured out that you can click on the bugus to get rid of them. Think that last one was because I confused the words gubus and bugus in the description, just need to add the sprite to fix that I reckon.

Also a quick word about performance: the game only struggles once the gubus are ascending away, if you were to divide them into groups and update them in separate frames that should hopefully keep it running smoothly.

Overall I must have liked it cos I kept at it until I got that A rank!

This is such an adorable little game, and a pleasure to play. I was a little confused my first time through because I didn't register that I was getting points deducted for catching too many, and was like "...what's stopping me from just selecting the whole screen" LOL but that's on my adhd ass.  Could be helpful to have the "0" score highlighted on the score count per level with a "Too many gubus! ):" message or something. 

I did notice a little bug in the scoring system - if you restart the game without refreshing the page, every game after the first one counts you as having scared off bugus even on the levels (1, 2) where there aren't any/you didn't encounter any.  I got "scores" of between 1-3 bugus scared off when I definitely hadn't seen any yet in that playthru lol. 

Love this tho! Might be interesting to see the challenge go up by being told to catch X amount of Y type of bugu. They have such cute personalities, they deserve individual attention! Also loved the where's waldo visual effect of having to hunt down the bugus. Very good. Nice work!

Your game is addictive and I will not stop unitl I get an S rank. My best score until now, but I'll update it later

i really enjoyed the look of this, the gubuses (gubusi?) are cute. i think my favorite part of the whole thing was how the confirmation said 'i promise to do my best' instead of just okay or using a check mark icon or something. i feel like little things like that really set a tone. i wish there was a bit more to what you actually did, but it was still enjoyable and had nice effects. overall a great jam game!
