This is super cute! The game makes you relax pleasantly, but at the same time does not let you get bored. Towards the end of the game, the real excitement begins. I would like to see such a game on the phone. You can create many levels and safely release it to stores!

I want to express my appreciation for your team's deep understanding of product design, flow, and aesthetics. It's clear that you all know exactly what you're doing. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience a game set in such a vibrant and dynamic world—it was a first for me, and I'm sure you've made many people's dreams come true. Perhaps next time, I'll get to fly a dragon?

Polished to perfection! Still blows my mind the detail can put into their games in just 4 days :o This was such a nice experience, it was intuitive and relaxing :) Impressive!

Insanely polished and charming for 4 days! Not sure about cribbing existing characters but as a fun fan game it's hard to find things to complain about.

This was really fun!  The gameplay was addicting and I loved the sounds the little characters made.  The art was really great too.  If you add more progression and release it somewhere, I'd buy it

Props to the artist/s of this game, because their style is so incredibly charming and cozy, everything nice for a ghibli game. So happy to see you guys take the usual direction of these kinds of build-up games and make it super comforting to play!! Wish you all the best in the jam :D

Everything was very satisfying, when everything became more automated I was just looking at the balls of fur and picking them up to throw on the other side lol
