:dart: Objective :

The objective of the game is to build a bridge over a river using fleas. To summon fleas, the player must collect raw materials from the river. To make resource gathering easier, the player has the option to construct a net. The weather also impacts the player's progress: wind destroys parts of the bridge, and rain slows down the fleas. The player can build a web to counter the wind and large leaves to shield against the rain. The player wins if they manage to complete the bridge in under 10 minutes.

Love it. I would have liked the creatures to cross the bridge after building it. Otherwise I looooove it!

This game is brilliantly creative! The idea of building a bridge using fleas is unique and fun, while gathering resources and adapting to weather changes adds a layer of challenge. The mechanics of building nets and large leaves to counter wind and rain blend strategy with enjoyment, making it a game you can’t put down!

@hangovergames Thank you very much ! Yes, it's true that with 4 Game Designers, the development was quite intense, but we are very proud of the result!

The tutorial is either confusing or bugged, it says that you should protect the fleas and then welcome to the tutorial.
During the game it's difficult to understand what to do, there is a lack of feedback to the player action.
Chill music :D

I think it's a great sign when despite the tutorial breaking, I'm still able to finish the game and have a relatively good understanding of what's happening. (Whoever made those icons, absolutely brilliant move to make the represent the hardship they're meant to help you out of.) This is the first game I've ever played that despite a big angry timer, it's actually very relaxed? I even had time to spare by the end!

Anyway, I like this entry! It's absorbing (I left my delivery for like, 10 minutes!) but isn't super demanding which I think works well in a jam setting. Also, best rain I've seen in the whole jam. It's a whole darn mood. :thumbsup:

Cute looking game, however I would've liked to have had more of an integrated tutorial because it took a little while to understand what I had to do. Great job though, loved the atmosphere and art!: )

@leitdorf @alexis8 @joshua-reumann Thank you very much for your feedbacks !

@v1ru6 @bigdippers Thank you for your feedbacks. Indeed, we realized too late that the tutorial was broken. We're currently fixing the issue, and it’s true that it isn’t complete. We tried to make the game as intuitive as possible so players wouldn’t need the tutorial. We're glad you managed to understand it and enjoyed the game in the end, that’s what matters most !

@mavvy WOW! Thank you for your feedback on our game, we're really happy you enjoyed it (sorry about the broken tutorial), but if you managed to figure it out, that's what matters most. We definitely have to give credit to @titoux for the icons he provided, which really help players understand their surroundings and how to interact with them. We did put in a big timer because we wanted a defeat condition (what’s the taste of victory without the risk of defeat, right? xD), but we mainly aimed for a chill vibe that’s not too stressful!

The game has a very good concept but for me it became boring after some time, has potential and I really liked the little mosters, tho the net broke the first time I played the game and kind of made it unplayable, I liked it!

What a cute game! It was so relaxing to play, and I really enjoyed it! Great job to the team! 🎉

The assets are adorable, and the atmosphere is lovely. I appreciate the unique concept of building a bridge with fleas! 🐜✨

Overall, fantastic effort! Keep it up! ❤️

The basic idea is very good. Gameplay is clear. UI is easy to use. The feedback is aurally very appropriate. Great levelling. The graphics are simply stunningly good.

It's a very nice game, I noticed a few bugs:
1. When you click on the top button with the price 2, nothing happens, or something happens that I don't see.
2. When you click on the bottom button, 5 stones are deducted from the balance, nothing happens, or I did not understand what was happening (maybe a new fleaes appears?)
3. The right and left buttons add two constructions to the scene, but I do not really understand what they do.

Anyway, I completed the game in 5 minutes and 24 seconds. I liked the calm atmosphere, definitely worthy of high praise!

@obidiix-minusinfinity thank you for your feedback ! Indeed, the net breaks if two raw materials are stored. You can always rebuild it using the top button, which costs you 2 resources. But if, in the end, you had a good time, that’s what matters most!

@ethernal-tech Ohh thank you very much for your feedback ! If you had a good time, it was the goal of the game !

@janus Thank you very much for your feedback !

@pacelin In first, thank you for your feedback !
1 . The top button is used to repair the net if it’s broken (it breaks if two raw materials are stored), so if you manage to gather these resources each time, you’ll never need to repair it.

2. The bottom button is indeed used to recruit an additional flea!

3. The left button is for installing the structure that protects the bridge from the wind (as it breaks the bridge).

4. The right button is used to protect the fleas from the rain (as it slows them down).

I hope that despite the lack of this information, you still had a good time!

Captured the mood, feel and bigger-than-life perspective in contrast with the tiny nature of creatures.

Thanks for the game! The core idea is great, the characters are super cute, and the graphics and sounds are well done, but it felt a bit slow. There’s not much feedback from your actions, and the timer is reeeally long. But with a little polishing, I think it could turn into a really fun game! Great job overall
