I liked the art style, even though it's minimalist, it's well executed and we understand things quite easily. The game doesn't need any onboarding which is nice.\n\nThe two major issues I had that ruined a bit my experience were the really slow pace of the game. A huge demon that scares people is a nice idea, but it should give you the feel of power that, in my opinion, lacked here. And then, I don't know if it's due to a memory leak somewhere, but the game becomes more and more laggy over time until it's no longer playable with the WebGL build (I have not tested the downloadable PC version)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1083494,"author_name":"Paroxysmal","author_uid":"paroxysmal","epoch":1728327119,"text":"Good entry.

Glad that you like the art style. And you're right the pace is a bit slow so that one level may spend more time, and because of the lacking of time I was not able to juice the monster's part so that they look not so kind of power.\nAbout the memory leaking part, seems like it only happened on web build.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1086326,"author_name":"LDJam user 120290","author_uid":"120290","epoch":1728350695,"text":"@paroxysmal Thanks for the feedback!

I like the execution too, and the inversion of expectations with 'Tiny Creatures' as the theme. I think the monsters need to be sped up by a bit, as it takes a bit long for them to walk from building to building.\n\nIt's pretty quick to pick up what you're supposed to do, which is a good sign the 'beginning level' is working.\n\nAlso, a minor bug: the framerate started to tank hard when the monster started fighting the four tanks at level 3.\nI'm not sure what happened, but it got worse and worse the longer the game went, even after destroying the tanks. Eventually the music failed to play because of the framerate (I think)\n\nOtherwise, very neat idea and implementation ^^","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1096771,"author_name":"LDJam user 120290","author_uid":"120290","epoch":1728447739,"text":"@davidsheadgames Thanks for your feedback!
