Cute premise and design for the game! I know time was short, I think if you added some extra visuals, like small moss and leaves for the tardigrades to hide under that made it tougher to see them, especially zoomed out, this would make a really fun sort of "where's Waldo" type game. Nice work!

I definitely had a chuckle at the concept and the 8-bit Old MacDonald tune, and I love the little tardigrade you have as the cover image!

The gameplay is quite simple -- I would have liked some complexity added to make it a bit more involved. E.g. maybe you need to box them in a bit in a sheepdog kind of way, trying to herd them into a container rather than just collecting them?

Cute, Short and Simply fun

Simple idea and the music is cute ! Well done !

The crosshair had me trying to target them with the keyboard instead of just clicking on them. Game made a lot more sense when i actually clicked them with my mouse

Cool little game, the controls are intuitive and the music indicating proximity to a tardigrade is a very nice addition as a sound indicator!

Cool concept! Liked the idea, visual style, execution.

I was chasing the tradigrades like crazy x) their movements were really good and natural, frankly super fun to fill the farm, and the music weirdly adictive I love it! GG
