A charming little game perfect for killing time. The artwork has the most charm of the game and the music suits the gameplay and setting as well. The only small suggestion I may have is to slow down the letter expiration a bit. Letters feel like they expire too quickly for me even in easy mode.

Game Description
Epic team managment strategy made in crazy two days. But it's already perfect as a round furball.
How does your game tie into the theme?
There is a tower. And you own it.

After understanding the game mechanics it was a fun challenge :D I don't know if its cheesing or a valid strategy but I was able to keep a large number of furballs stuck on the screen by letting left runners collide with right runners so their forces balance out and they are just stuck in place- this way i managed to hoard a large number of furballs on the screen without a lot of mouse movement and then using them on demand.

Wow, thanks for playing!
Herding furballs on the map is indeed the most advanced technique for managing them :) I call it free-range furballs.

Thank you for playing! I, myself, miss an intro and some explanation the most :) Now, it’s only explained briefly on the game’s page.
Thank you for playing! I’m glad to hear that you had fun with the game. :)
The number of furballs in your possession is indeed limited, and it is shown in the interface. It may not be obvious, but when you send a furball to a task, it then instantly returns to the tower. But if it rolls away from the map, it is lost forever. So, you need to manage and keep them busy. New furballs can be acquired by clicking on the tower. The price is 5 gold coins. This is said on the game’s page but is not apparent from the game itself.
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. The idea was to make a team management game where you have agents that could be used to solve tasks. I first gave up on it :), thinking I couldn’t finish it in one week. But on Saturday, before the deadline, I decided to try to pull it out in two days. It turned out to have a distinct flavor and gave a lot of dev XP in the process.
Hi! Thank you for playing. Letters management is kind of tedious, I agree.
As for the abilities and colors, it goes like this: each furball has a unique ability. It’s either martial arts, magic, diplomacy, or healing. And each ability has its color. Each task also features an important ability for solving it, and the pin for the task is colored in a respective color.
There must be a better way to organize this information with icons, etc., but we didn’t have time to fully develop this aspect.
