Really love your game. It's so unique. Good job
I didn't believe in Gubus, but now I do. I believe in Gubus. And the music was very enjoyable, especially the main menu music felt very nice and chill. Great job! I'll come open your game and sit in main menu sometimes to get the good vibes.
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!
gubus is already the plural of gubu :P I noticed your submission is called BECOME LARGE, and my initial idea for the jam was a game called GET HUGE, so I thought I'd let you know we were on the same wavelength
individual gubus' are referred to as gubu, i see. this is good gubu lore, i'll put it on the wiki
Very creative idea I love this aesthetic I also really liked the description of the game its so funny
I believe in gubus was a joy to play tens across the board
Loved the idea, it's so simple at it's core and it's quite fun to play!

Loved the gubus! Shout-out to greenda for helping out the environment with their straw choice. It was a clean, satisfying loop, and lots of fun to replay.
Really cool game. While the simple gameplay may seem repetitive or boring at first glance, it does what it needs to do, and it does it perfectly, I am glad you didn't try to overcomplicate it.
I loved the art style, which fits really well with the game, and I wish there were more levels because I wanted to play more by the end of the game.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! The levels are "procedurally" generated if I can use the term loosely, in that the density of gubus spawned, positions, and objective are all generated from noise functions. Other than that though, I definitely agree there isn't much variation - something we might look at addressing post-jam.
Gubus👍
Really enjoyed it, the gubus are probably my new style of life :D
Simple gameplay, but yet i loved it!
That's a perfect entry for me! Simple to play, really fun, gave me a bit of a geoguesser vibe with the score system, I found myself replaying it a bit more than I intended haha. Congratulation for the entry!
Geoguessr was my main inspiration for the structure of the game! Thanks for checking it out!
Bugus is literally me
G is for GUBUS
SAY THEIR NAMES AND
THEY APPEAR
I BELIEVE IN
GU-BUS
[clap clap]
I have gubus blood in my veins. My life, is gubus. I dream, of gubus.
gubus is love. gubus is life.
holy gubus!
I don't usually go for chill games but this was definitely a good change of pace. Thanks for making something chill and cute <3
Grinded to get 35k. Love gathering up them gubus! Music is very nice.
okok i demand an in game high score board o: i got 27k which took me a couple of tries but this is a very neat and cozy experience. Very nice art style and sound FX! i also appreciate that you took the time to code some variations in levels so each run was a bit different.
A leaderboard would be rad. Right now we're just working on an honor system to determine the Rank 1 Gubu Gamer. Thanks for checking it out!
Love the art style, fantastic vibes, feels like a Where's Waldo! Only feedback I have is maybe up the number of the black creatures in the later rounds to have a bit more challenge - I often found I didn't even need to click any of them
Thanks for playing! We did try a version where each level increased the amount of those guys, but we thought it ended up changing the nature of the game from a guessing game to more of a spot the guys game. Not necessarily a bad thing but we wanted the focus to be more on accuracy of the selection.
Cute, minimalist style! Solid game! reminded me of Noby Noby Boy and Katamari a little
I love Gubus and I love this game! Playing this makes me feel so good! It helps me forget about all the horrific things in life.
