Haha franchement c'était hyper cool ! Le mood est top, le visuel claque (vraiment l'interface est hyper cool) et j'ai beaucoup aimé les petites touches d'humour (on déteste tous jib). Cool expérience :)

I loved the tone and the art of it! the characteristics of creatures were so fun to discover. i am a big fan of your humour in general and seeing it translated in a video game is so cool to see. @geoffroy big respect for learning Construct and making your first game, it's a high-quality one! @chariospirale your illustrations are fire as always!

Such a great concept, really good for your first jam game.

The UI, controls and loop is spot-on, and the art is great.

Awesome job.

This is a simple puzzle game with great visuals, illustrations, and effective audio effects (besides the BGM). The game mechanics were easy to grasp, and the objective was clear right from the start, which made it very approachable.

I particularly enjoyed the second level; it took me a few tries to pass, but that challenge helped me understand the deeper mechanics of the game. Once I got through, I really felt a sense of accomplishment, which was very rewarding.

Overall, great job on making a fun and visually appealing game that balances accessibility with just the right amount of challenge!

"I forbid rude people."

"Hi, I'm French."

*Squish*

I can say that, I'm a French speaker. This was just awesome and currently underrated! Very good work on every level, from visuals to theming to humor and sounds. Just great original work!

Genuinely impressed by this game! It’s hard to believe that this is the team’s first game jam—what an incredible achievement! 👏 The art style is stunning, with beautifully crafted illustrations that bring the game to life. The humor sprinkled throughout the game adds a delightful touch, making every moment enjoyable. 😂
Keep up the excellent work! 🌟

@sviborg We are two comics book artist and we have started to learn how to develop game on our spare time kind of recently ! We just didn't ship any game yet.

Unique art style, contagious Zeus laughter and power to decide tiny creatures fate I love it all.
Great game, maybe some ambient soundtrack would be nice.

I love this game! It feels like Papers Please but at a cosmic level. The art is great, I love listening to Zeus laugh. Congrats on the entry!

Great game!! It's really nice to play and the overall atmosphere is great with the drawings!
A retry button would have been good to avoid having to explode all the tiny creatures when you make a mistake. But apart from that, Love your project!!

Excellent! I would only make slight changes, like having Zeus immediately telling you the result without having to press Enter twice, and saying "Red people" when there's only pink used is tough! :p

Also, poor Jib... or is it?

Very impressive, the idea is great, of course the graphics are great and the little polish everywhere is awesome. Congrats!

Every time Jib turned up, I was like: Oh, it's this guy one. Let me tell you, I was cackling when those two things happened:

![no_jib.png](///raw/bee/f3/z/687fb.png)

Also, flicking them over to the planets immediately followed by that laugh was sendiiiing me.

This is such a cool project!

Insane entry. This game oozes personality, it's extremely funny, the audio is great, the graphics are amazing. I did get stuck on Sun IV for a while and I kinda wished for a clue or something, but I figured it out in the end. Honestly incredible job, this should win the jam category imo.
