This was a really fun entry to see, very interesting interpretation of the theme. I though that the gameplay needed a little bit of tuning because it was easy to win even without playing. Maybe for this version the win condition could be more then just one animal, like 1 of each species at least.  I felt it fun to try balancing the food and animals, and this could be a really great mechanic if balanced a little bit.

There were some confusing sounds going on, with so many objects moving around it can help to focus the audio design on just what the player is doing.

It's really hard to keep the rabbits alive in this game.

Hi,

I reached level 11 and 2 more levels after it seemed to have passed without activity, that is, I didn't do anything, but because the cows are quite slow, time ended faster than they left the screen, so I was able to pass 2 more levels without doing anything :).

When I finally lost, I couldn't restart the game, maybe it was due to these errors.


I also noticed that when I was shopping at the store and the animals were under the menu window, instead of buying, I would feed the animals. I think it would be better to have the menu window only for purchases, and then if the animals were under the menu, I wouldn't be confused and could continue buying food.

The game information lacks contrast, so it blends into the background, making it hard to read. It would be nice to have a splash screen that had this information, so the information is easy to read and you have some time to prepare before starting the game.

I liked everything else! The gameplay, the clicker, harvesting, feeding the animals, the sound of food ripening, the speed of animals' movement... Keeping the hares alive was the hardest thing :D.

Maybe it would be good if when wolves get hungry, they don't die like other animals by going off screen, but instead start eating other animals :).

It was fun, congratulations!

this is a cool little game with a lot of potential behind it, with some tweaks it could become a great incremental clicker game. having different food for different animals is a great idea, but i feel like some depth in that system would've been interesting. for example, if rabbits arent fed, they would go and steal grass from the cow or maybe if wolf isnt fed for some time, he'd go after other animals. the shop could've also included some standard incremental game stuff like auto feeder, food having a bigger value once you pick it up, auto pick up etc. as i said, a lot of potential, i suggest playing with this project further!

simple game, sure the author can show more

This was pretty fun to start out with feeding all the animals with food. I never quite knew what was going on though because I could only read the first line of instructions that said to click on food to get it.

The food spawning noise was the worst and should probably either be turned way down or turned off. I actually thought it was a hunter shooting at the animals for most of the game.

It was fun to feed all the animals while they were wondering around, but I'm still not really sure what the overall goal is. I made it to level 6 or 7 but there were just more animals to feed and more time to use up until the next level. It seemed that all the rabbits in a level would almost immediately run off too so I could never feed them much of anything. The cows were the opposite and I just ended up keeping the store open to buy grass all of the time to feed them with.

Nice simple game, easy to understand what to do!
Perhaps a background could be changed to match the rest of the visual style, and UI could be updated to be more legible (perhaps use the same food icon next to the numbers, change text colour when quantity is low etc)

Simple and fun game. Those wascally wabbits! I think that unique animal sounds would be a neat feature.

Good game!
It was quite challenging. I made it through the first level panicking because carrots weren't spawning and I needed to feed my rabbits! When the second level started it was full panic :)
I can imagine this being really fun on a tablet or mobile device!

Suggestions:
- The small black instruction  text on the green background is quite hard to see. Make the color brighter or change the background near the text.
- Would love some more unique sounds! I thought cows were dying of hunger when it was my rabbits
