Never thought to use the concept of Noahs ark for this Jam, loved stacking animals on top of each other!!

This is great! Didn't know I could stack the animals saw it in a comment but the way they swing and affect movement speed is really cool! well done!

Really grateful for the skip intro aswell, it only had me a bit confused that the game started on it's own because I wasn't paying attention the first time!

Astounding graphics & gameplay, i really like it, there's lot of fun moment. Now it's ur turn to  try & vote us.

I really should have made that more clear, but it didn't cross my mind. My bad :/

The idea of the flood is really unique, and the game's concept is truly enjoyable. Congratulations and good luck!

I really love the game, it captured the theme and the art really stood out. Great job.

Don't also forget to rate mine, thanks

I, like one of the people below, didn't realise you could carry multiple animals. I also didn't realise you needed two of each species to save said species; while that should have been obvious in hindsight, both could likely have been clarified somewhere ingame.

Also, requiring 2 of a given species does make the game slightly luck-based, as you don't know where the other member of the species is when saving the first one, and may not find it. Perhaps the location of the second member could be revealed after the first one is saved?

The rain and eventual flood appearing on-screen was a nice touch. Giving you point for both theme and graphics for that.

The NPC which said 'I hope it doesn't rain too much' was great, too! Honestly - love that. Hilarious. 5 fun score for that alone.

All in all, great work! This is quite impressive for a first jam game, at least, in my opinion.

Thanks for your feedback and kind words! I'll try to make the objectives more clear the next time. The animals do apear always in the same positions, but it's true that they can wonder about far. Maybe a good solution would be to limit the distance they can get away from their spawns.

Submitted(+1)

Very cool! We had similar ideas!

I liked that the animals had different weights and that you got to see the ones you saved at the end, and the cool flood effect!

Developer

Indeed! Until now I thoght I was the only Noah game, but I see there are a few!

Submitted(+1)

This is super fun and cute. I love the way the animals sway back and forth on top of you when you start carrying more than one.

Submitted(+1)

Good use of the theme, simple but fun, great job!

Submitted

I realised that I could take more than 1 animal at one time only reading the comments...maybe it could be good to explain it!

I like that in your game, as in mine, there is the theme of extinction! ahahah 

Developer(+1)

It did not cross my mind that possibility! I will make more testing for the next time. Thanks for the comment, I'll check out your game :)

Submitted

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate!

The animals are so cute!! It's fun to lean sideways when I carry a lot of animals. It's a great game to enjoy ;) 

Submitted

I realised too late that I could take more than 1 animal at one time! Nice easy concept, could be easily a minigame for a larger game... nice work
