Graphics are absolutely breathtaking, sound effects are neat and music is nice although slightly repetitive.

Interface was pretty intuitive but it felt my control over my single rabbit wasn't enough to guarantee the survival of the rest who had a tendency to try and make friends with the foxes :(

A really cool entry!

It being bunnies and all I expected a lot more reproduction, but somehow my attempts were always insuficient, as the other bunnies preferred the company of foxes.

Sometimes there was too much text on screen at once, but I guess it being procedural and all you can't quite choose when things happen.

The random games were a great touch, and the game overall was really funny.

Good job!

I liked the idea and the graphics.
But the instructions for playing the game are really difficult to read and to understand.

Very nice graphics and mood, however I found the gameplay to be rather dull. Also the text could've been in a better font because right now it is not really goodlooking in that department. Other than that, great game :)

BEST GAME I PLAYED YET!!
Graphics, music, mood, gameplay! It is so beautiful and immersive
The narration is great but too much text can just kill the bunnies, you know

Very nice graphics and interesting style. The game of head and dive into helping to plunge into the game and worry about the rabbit. Special thanks for good lighting =)

A very nice looking game with great lighting effects. My poor baby bunnies kept getting eaten by hungry foxes which makes me a little sad. :(

Great Art Style and Atmosphere! Music works well with the Storytelling.
Controls are a bit clunky, though... but overall a wonderful game!

Very beautiful visuals and audio. Would definitely need two players to fully enjoy the game. The gameplay itself was very simple and a bit boring in the end. Still enjoyed the serene surroundings and sounds.

lovely aesthetic. I have nobody here to play it with though so i guess I cant fully appreciate it. the AI on the other bunnies needs to be improved to make it viable single player..... curse that damn fox!

Best game I rated at the moment. All is gorgeous. It should explain better the commands, is not easy to catch up.

Really moody entry. Just relaxing being a bunny after 3 days of being a coder!
I totally love the voxel Artstyle. Specially the animations and the nice little details in the world really make the diffrence. I would almost use the word "immersive" here.
Eating carrots and staying away from foxes is a bit repetative, and the Story presentation is a bit confusing. But all concidered a really great game. Impressive!

Great game with beautiful graphics, liked the small details like the grass moving when you go through.

I'm loving this one. The atmosphere is melancholic and beautiful, you did an impressive job with graphics and musics. I'm still struggling to reach day 7, but I'll make it. Congratulations!!!

Memorable style, the diorama looks great! I think the audio can improve a little bit, to be less repetitive, i liked it a lot!

¡La idea mola mucho! Me encanta la sensación bucólica de este juego. Preciosos gráficos. En cuanto a la música, es fantástico lo que consigue con tan poco. Como crítica constructiva, molesta un poco la cantidad de letras que se montan en pantalla. En fin, ¡Buen trabajo!

Very hard to read the instructions - yellow daylight makes them totally invisable! Very hard to see the carrots - Gave up after the fourth round of both dying. Beautiful graphics though.

Wow, great game. My favorite so far. Really love the mood.
Maybe the days could be a bit shorter it got a bit boring around the half, because there wasn't much danger and not much to do.

I love the play area setup and the look and feel of the space. Text was a bit cramped a few times but overall great game.

The visuals and narrative are simply fantastic, but... I don't get the idea. Everybody but me dies and I can't do anything about it. All I do is walk around the center and eat carrots (spam X) until day 7 :/

Very beautiful game, but not really sure what I was supposed to do. The story didn't really match what was going on in the game. I was the lone survivor and all baby rabbits got eaten by the fox.

It felt pretty weird to me how the atmosphere and music was so relaxing and peaceful but mechanically I was super on-edge, frantically trying to avoid a brutal death.. aside from that strange juxtaposition this is a very cool result :)

Couldn't find much to do, but fortunately eating carrots and staring at the scenery occupied my time quite well; the graphics were incredible, and the audio fit well with them. Amazing job.

The game is clearly gorgeous, the lighting has a lot to do with it even if it gets blinding sometimes. On the other hand I felt the game became repetitive after a few days. I never knew how I could manage the other rabbits and they would get killed by the foxes. Also when too many things happens at once, the text overlap. Sorry if this feels a bit negative but if it can reassure you, I had a good time playing this game ;D
