Very cute! I had some trouble figuring out what the goal was for each level, but snagging bunnies and wolves was fun on its own. :)

Great artwork! I think my game froze after the first level though?

Great artistic qualities! The sprites are cute and the music is really catchy.

The levels had some boring downtime in them. Pushing enemies and friendlies seemed like the best option once I've run out of resources.

I really like your interpretation of the theme.

Really cute art and nice music to go with it, also a nice relaxing game in general.

Send help! This is TOO cute! :heartbeat:

I found the gameplay to be glitchy sometimes (such as snagged wolves still running around attacking buns), but other than that, it's a very adorable little game!

The music is so catchy!

Very, very beautiful! Good job.
Great idea and execution. I liked the lasso and stake mechanics a lot.
Overall It is a great entry.
If I must give any negative feedback It felt a little irritating having seconds remaining in 60+ seconds level and wolfs falling on rabbits heads. But that's pulled out of my fingers. You get a good score :thumbsup:

a very good premise. With more polish this be a good start to a full game.

Nice entry! The art is really nice, particularly the character illustration. It took a while to figure out how the mechanics work and how that tied into the UI, but the concept is nice!

I did run into a few bugs, notably that the level occasionally freezes, and you have to restart level from the menu. The stakes also seemed to behave inconsistently, even when I had enough rope.

Music is nice and bouncy... Pokemon vibes.

Great work for 72 hours!

my favorite game so far! i feel like all it could use is a sound effect for wolf drops, as well as a minimap

So impressive overall! The artwork slaps, the style overall is so endearing. Great job.

Great art! Enjoyed the gameplay a lot. Was fun trying to figure out a good strategy, I ended up herding all the buns to a corner.

criminally cute. lasso is very fun, pushing space bunnies is overpowered. I think it would be good explicitly state that your goal is to protect the bunnies from the space wolves until the time runs out.

Great entry! I bumped into a bug where I wasn't able to move after leaving the level and checking the tutorial. Restarting totally fixed it and I had a great time playing it!

Good art work and nice little BGM.
It takes me a while to figure out what the goal is

OKAY! If the "How To Play" Screen can make me smile, you already did something wonderful!

Gorgeous presentation, lovely game concept! With a bit of polish this could be an instant classic, honestly :D

Wow, super adorable game! I really liked the concept, and it was really satisfying once I figured out how it all worked!
Ran into some minor movement related bugs, but nothing game-breaking. Overall I really enjoyed it. Nice job!

Absolutely adorable artwork and character designs, and it's nice to see another "Physical loop of rope" take on the theme! The posts and pen remind me of the work (well, schoolwork) I have to do in my real life as an Ecology student. I only wish that the lasso was a little faster and snappier as the pace felt a little bit slow, but otherwise a blast to play!

Great work on the cover art/game icon. Once inside the game the art translated well to the pixel style. I liked the time taken to do a nice(dainty) walk animation, and the backgrounds were worth running around. Pretty simple gameplay that was straightforward and easy to pick up- once you get the hang of clicking once to cast and once to capture it became a bit easier. Nicely done!

Overall
- Great, lots of polish and a good core set of mechanics. It feels like the player is at a disadvantage with no way to know where the wolves are.

Fun
- Yes

Innovation
- The capture mechanic gives the player an interesting trade off to consider.

Theme
- Nice interpretation of the theme, multiple layers of looping.

Graphics
- This is so stinkin’ cute.

Audio
- The music is upbeat and goes well with the game. All the actions have an associated sound cue that give the world life.

Humor
- The end of level art made me laugh.

Mood
- Happy, upbeat, stressful, sad, excited.

Extremely cute, loved the art and mood! I think some of the gameplay could use a bit more polish to make the movement and lasso feel a little better but it doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the game

That was so cute. I definitely didn't expect a lasso game like this to work, but it does, and it was so fun!

Adorable! I really like the music and the game mechanics. I was a little lost at first about my progress, but I really liked.
