cool concept!
Surprisingly addictive! It took me a while to figure out how to play but after I did I was having a great time.
Nice clicker game! I spent way more time on it than expected 😅
Another game about animals of various sizes! We had a mantis couple in our game, too. :]
I love the art in this—both the character art and the buildings are really nice. The way you can zoom waaaay out and back in is really slick, too. I wish I could pan around the landscape, too—sometimes it's hard to get to the spot I want to.
I spent kind of a long time at the beginning confused about how to let the mantises in, but eventually realized the little icons next to each animal on the side were also buttons I could use. That might want some sort of revamp to make it more obvious they're clickable.
I kept going til I could let some elephants into my hotel, and then watched while the guests came in and were instantly whisked away by my concierges. It's a nice, chill time—great work.
Thank you for the feedback. There actually is a camera pan, it's bound to holding right mouse button. The UI (and the controls as well) certainly could be improved. We wanted to fit everything in one column and unfortunately, larger buttons did not fit in that layout. Well done on reaching the elephants and thanks for playing our game :)
Very addictive lol. My only complaint is that it felt a bit difficult to click the guests sometimes although that might just be my laptop’s trackpad.
Super chill and beautiful! UI needs a lot more help to draw attention to itself as clickable and giving feedback when things are clicked, but once you get past that and realize how the interface works, this is great to just chill with for a while :)
I second making it more obvious that you can hire staff and what they do. But other than that, I played this for faaar longer than I thought I would. The art and characters were very cute, and once you get into the rhythm of it, it's a great clicker game. The zooming in/out effect was particularly well done! Superb entry 🎉
Great game :)
Please please please, but the UI button to build and hire personal more obvious! I was 100% sure these were stats about how much you earn or stuff like this. I spent the first 5 minutes waiting patiently and clicking on ONE house ^^
Otherwise, good game. Lovely art. Classic addictive clicker game. Wholesome theme.
Nice game. I needed a second run to find out how I should build so it would be good to highlight this more or maybe create a bigger button for building. I like the art style. Very pleasant. I have a very sensitive mouse wheel so for me it was full zoom or full zoom out. The zoom slider would be helpful. Good entry :)
Love a good clicker game. Amazing presentation too, and the representation of scaling was fab!
Played it until I got the elephant property! The style is really well done and unique. It felt really good to cover all the animals coming in! Great style, and flow of gameplay.
Amazing, very chill and fun!
This was great fun to get stuck into. I love a good clicker game. Plus iit was really interesting to see how a similar concept to mine could be executed so differently. Also the art is gorgeous. Well done. I rally enjoyed placig my ant houses in a iny row all the way up the screen. Sadly I forgot to take a screenshot
Seeing a clicker game in here is always rare and pretty cool! I enjoyed the chill vibe and art and it was pretty fun to play through. Some sfx would be nice but besides that a nice chill playthrough. Nicely done!
Started enjoying this a lot more once I realized you could have more than one building of each type! Not really a clicker fan, but I enjoyed the chill vibe and the art. It was rewarding to get my first elephant customer.
I did it: I filled every space. As much as I like seeing numbers go up, I should probably call it here. Very cool, and the art is adorable. The only problems I had was some initial confusion from not realizing the icons on the left were buttons, and a bit of weirdness with the scrolling when things got big.
this game is super cute!
I really love your game! I played it yesterday, and it is a huge improvement you made today :) I like the visuals and the idea, and the manager was really helpful. I managed to finally get some elephants, and it was really satisfying. However, there were so many ants that were spawning even when I got 32 rooms for them.
Loved this game! The art is beautiful and gives each animal such a wonderful personality. The scaling feature words so well and I loved seeing the contrast between how small the ants hotel was to the elephants (also love the games thumbnail with ant highlighted in the word elephant). I loved the dialogue the manager gave as well as his helpful hints such as using shift to place multiple buildings! Really fun game!
Oh wau, you achieved elephant´s level with so little cleners & receptionist help! <3 Thats amazing <3 And thank you so much for such a nice words :)
I really liked your game! It's so cozy and beautiful, even though it took me some time to understand how it works, I ended up playing for way longer than i expected haha
