I like the idea of a multi-drawer sphere housing lots of cute little creatures with different personalities.

The loading screen was an especially nice touch! Good work!

The loading screen was a sort of last-minute addition but it ended up being one of my favorite parts. It just sells the illusion that much more! Thank you :D

oh the sphere puzzle box looks like a lot of fun- and the video was great and showed us  the critters inside it really well:))✨

Yay! I'm glad you liked the critters, they were a lot of fun to make. Thank you!

A sphere full of little guys 🥺 I really love this idea and would want this game in my library. 

I like the status UI for the characters and it reminds me of professor layton for some reason!

Great job!

Developer

Now that you say it, it totally does have a layton-esque look to it! I never played them, but I appreciate the comparison all the same haha :)

Super cute!

So much depth and implication in such a short timespan!! So so curious to imagine what the rest of this game plays like haha. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Yesss, that's what I was hoping for! Fortunately, I don't have to figure out what the rest of the game is, but it does look so tantalizing even to me...

SO COOL. I love the little guy walk sprite. I absolutely see myself as a kid playing this for hours on hours!

Developer

Thank you so much! That's the goal I have for everything I make: "would child me be unhealthily interested in this?"

Great work, the designs on the sphere are gorgeous. ⚪

Developer

Thank you! Getting that right was imperative for me. Everything else was secondary, haha.
