Very original idea and cute presentation! 

Submitted

Hedgehogs were cute - lots of bugs and it was unclear if I should be splitting them up or trying to chain them.

The art and music were nice - but the gameplay felt quite rough.

Submitted

Cute concept! Had some issues adjusting sizes but I liked the scaling and chain mechanics.

TBH, you kinda had me at hedgehog, but the game is also pretty fun. Some bits do feel a bit tedious but there's lots of room for expansion and it's enjoyable both as a concept and on screen.

Developer

Oh yes, there are a number of issues, it was a little ambitious for me in the time period and there is so much I want to fix and so much more I would like to do with it, I fully intend to continue development.

Super cute art and concept! The music is a lot of fun as well.

I found it tedious to change the sizes of the hedgehogs. I didn't really come across many situations where they needed to be different sizes, so having to adjust each one (with a slider that changes sizes while adjusting) made me feel less inclined to experiment.

But I really liked the mechanic of attaching and detaching them, and see a lot of potential there! Overall a really cool idea. Nice work!

Thank you, and yeah definitely agree with the size changing being tedious, just one of the many things I didn't have the time to do. I appreciate the feedback.

This game is soooo cute and creative! I kept encountering difficulty changing the size of my hedgehogs once they were tiny, which made me need to stop early. BUT the art and music were so cute, and when the gameplay was working, I was having a blast--really clever idea with this!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, it definitely is finicky and I would like to do more with it and fix things like that.

quite cool as is but I think having more physics would make it more entertaining. Pretty cool overall!

Submitted

The idea is really cool i had some problem with the first opstical and the resat button didn't work for me

Submitted

art is cool, the music is making the art even better, control is weird to me though, but i like the game

Submitted

Nice concept, it felt original! Congratulation for making this!

Cool Concept :) well done

cute take on the theme! music was a great fit too. I stuck them into an L shape by accident at one point but it hooked over rocks very nicely

I'm completely awful at the game but I also don't care at all because of how cute this game is.

The art is so adorable, the music is bumping, and the gameplay is very smooth. Had a blast playing your game and best of luck!
