Click and drag the rabbits to keep them separated. If they get too close, they'll start multiplying. Try to keep the rabbit pen from getting overrun for as long as you can!

This is such a cute idea! The art is lovely and it looks very polished, and the rabbits really do start to feel overwhelming. Great job!

Beautiful game, funny idea, and the bunny hoard really does start to feel inevitable :joy:

It was a bit hard to click on the rabbits, fudging the hitboxes so they're a bit larger than the graphics can make it a bit smoother for the clumsy people like me if that's something you'd like!

At first I thought this would be easy. How hilariously wrong I was. This truly might be the dark souls of rabbit simulators.

A good game.

This is great. I love what you did with the theme. Game is super hard. Personal highest score was 77.

Challenging and cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/PKNtuuCFWt0

Simple to play, but hard to play well. I love the sprites and music. I think some added sounds or animations based on user interactions (like the click/drag), sound outlines for overlapping rabbits, and improving the resolution of the text in the UI would be great next steps. Excellent idea for the theme, as well. Nice work!

When I play games, I tend to first just play the game without reading the instructions to see if I can figure it out. I thought you had to bring the bunnies together first because of the hearts. I thought that was a good thijng. lol. I did play it correctly and it is challenging. I could see this as part of a bunch of mini-games that you could make with the cute bunnies. You did such a great job with the art!

Great spin on the theme, love the art and how everything rapidly spirals out of control. Great job!

I love this games idea! No matter how hard I tried bunny love happened. Great take on the theme.

I kinda feel like a grinch trying to stop all the love. But with the theme I guess the message is the love is inevitable, and at some point with so many rabbits it feels like if I just move one it won't do anything. Not sure what the best strategy would be, but the early game is probably most important.

It's very cute! However, the sound at the end scared the hell out of me. Probably the point of the game is to delay the birth of rabbits haha

The game feels very polished. The music also is a great addition. The text is a bit blurry, though that's not a big deal for a jam game. Good job!

Great submission. It was very amusing and watching those bunnies multiply was entertaining. Good job!

High score 120! Cute little game. Funny name and clever idea. Great artwork and animations, nice music (though I had a weird scratchy audio glitch that sounded like something was messing up; that might be why someone complained of the sound at the end scaring them). Really polished all around.

this is like the opposite of the cow combining game that went almost viral some 5 years ago, very clever idea :clap:

Wonderful game about bunnies with excellent music reminiscent of Jason Mraz - I'm Yours. I had 85 bunnies!

This is adorable! It feels appropriate to be playing it on Easter, lol.

Some more sound effects would be nice, and it felt like sometimes the hitboxes to pick up rabbits were a bit small or not entirely where I expected them to be - but that didn't stop me from having fun.
