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
