I think this is a lovely sandbox style game. I loved the animal assets you included. The terraria in your screenshots are beautiful (unlike mine)... I would love to see these mini worlds expanded in however you can imagine (what if they had day-night cycles with different lighting, or their own bio ecosystems).

Thanks so much for the key rebinding menu especially!

Developer

Thanks Nato for the feedback! I'm stoked that you loved the game. I love the direction of a day and night cycle. You can kind of see the direction that we want to take this in some of the disabled features (i.e., Dynamic weather effects, more animals, 1st person experience of your terrariums). Anything else you would want to see out of this? We'd love to hear it!

Such a cool take on the theme, great entry!

Thanks Rattle_Knight! Glad you liked the game, let us know if there's anything that you think would make this better!

The concept was really cool! I like the take on the theme, good job!

Developer

Thanks Miru! Really appreciate your time.

Quite an impressive system for a jam game! Indeed controls could have been more intuitive but the concept has potential and already allows for building some cool dioramas

Thanks Ananda! We think so too. It's been a lot of fun making the game and I think others would thoroughly enjoy it. We'll keep on working those controls around and see what we can do. Let us know if you have recommendations!

A very well put together game that gives a lot of freedom in creating a cool Terrarium. As most people have mentioned, the controls are a little confusing and it took me a good 5 minutes to figure everything out. Having the key binds permanently on screen could do a lot to help. Outside of this though, the game is very well made.

Developer

Danicc thanks for the feedback!  We definitely appreciate your time playing. I'd love to know what you made! One thing I know we could have done Is made it easier to change your keybinds. I think it is kind of hidden at the moment. A fix will be coming!

I absolutely love the idea of making little terrariums, so lovely! If the UX gets just a bit more polish then I just know this game will be loved by many :D 

Developer

Buse thanks for playing! This is great to hear, don't worry we will be developing this further after the jam and I hope you come back to play again!

I like the idea behind this! However, the keybindings aren't really intuitive for the most part and I kept having to go into the menu to look them up. Since you plan on working this further, I would recommend at least an option to display the shortcuts on screen and moving the shortcuts closer together, or even better, use a mouse button for like placing/picking up. That would make the overall experience smoother and more enjoyable, which I really want it to be because decorating and tiny things are two of my favourite things.

Developer

Hi Noli! Thanks for the feedback. Were you able to change your keybinds through the Settings? I'm glad we find a similar appreciation for tiny objects and I appreciate your time spent playing the game. Hopefully you had fun and we will surely be developing this further! It was an absolute blast to make.

I really enjoyed making a little lighthouse in the bottle, the placement button being 'f' isn't intuitive, but the menu helped me work it out, very cool idea!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and for playing the game! That's great input.
