Great game! The blur effect in the distance gave it a good sense of the small scale, and it was relaxing to play.

Really loved how well this game sells the feeling of being a Little Guy! I love the toon shading too, v nice work!

The little ant is too cute!! I liked crawling around the cups and stuff like a little ant obstacle course

This game looks, feels, and sounds incredible. Well done!

Very peaceful game and I love the art but it was difficult to look for the correct food

Very cute and charming game, great job! Giving me Pikmin vibes :) Those blueberry explosions are oddly satisfying, specially when you can feast on top of the cake ;D

Cute game. I like the art.

Wow! Stylistically this is my favourite game of the jam so far! Great ambience, super satisfying to munch blueberries, love the cuteness of all the models. I feel like whatever in-game characters set out this picnic just kind of threw their food all over it haha

Developer

Yeah the 'people who set out the picnic' (us devs) did kinda throw the food everywhere.. in a last minute panic xD

Developer

Thanks for the kind words :)

Tons of charm and very relaxing!  Great Work!

Lots of charm, was a relaxing game to play although I wasn't too certain of how I was doing in terms of progression, nothing happened after I found the 3rd strawberry unfortunately

Developer

I'm noticing a trend of that.. Thanks for playing! And the feedback is really appreciated!
We'll definitely be taking a look at the progression/objectives in future updates. Possibly doing something more exploration driven where we just lean into the mechanics and world design.

Nice one! Cute graphics, well done (I also couldn't find the 3rd strawberry)

This is so cute!

Wonderful 3D models and smooth controls. A short hike is one of my favorites!

this game has such cute aesthetics! the main character being an ant lends alot to the scale theme. samdwicch

Charming with the little birds sounds :D

I couldn't find the strawberries :3

As a feedback, I'd say to add clearer goals/reward. I was expecting to go big by eating :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! We didn't actually manage to get the final game loop in.
So there are objectives but no resolution to your goal. We'll definitely be balancing and refining (possibly even just pulling out the objectives entirely) in future updates.

Such a relaxing experience - I really enjoyed this. Very well executed.
