I tried to play this one alongside some other Ludum Dare games I was playing and writing ratings for, and I did make it for a little while.\n\nI got about 4-5 Mishfus at best (some would often die as the population got larger), and I was able to keep at least one alive as long as I was actively able to check on it.\n\nUnfortunately one of the Ludum Dare games I played did not really leave any time for tabbing back to check on them, and when I came back they had all died. I guess this is because the trees all die and then the Mishfus with them.\n\nI think the rate that you have to check back to really keep them going is too fast to really leave this game idle for a long time, which makes it difficult to play as, say, an ongoing task over a day. I think it would take too much attention to really do it alongside any significantly long task I was trying to accomplish--even playing it alongside writing a Ludum Dare rating made my writing slow down a bit.\n\nI have one minor complaint: Every time you click on the game, it will play something like all the queued sounds from when you last played it, so every time I clicked I would hear the eating sound even when I clicked on a gem (for some reason the gem sound would be suppressed). This might be a tricky interaction with the browser, though--I know browsers often do weird things with sound and it can be hard to put together a clean interaction.\n\nStill, I think that a game that requires attention is itself an interesting premise. Sure, it's been done before, but this game is very needy, IMO, which is a funny property to have. :smile: That is, at least if you want to keep your Mishfus alive.\n\nAll told I think this is a nice execution of a more novel premise, and I had fun trying to keep it alive. The feeling that I was about to let all my Mishfu's die if I didn't check on them was a bit stressful, but in a fun way rather than really being a real stress. And I think that's kinda neat -- I'm not sure I've played a lot of games with a \"fun stress\" before.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1118157,"author_name":"johnbrynte","author_uid":"johnbrynte","epoch":1729545787,"text":"I think I left it on for almost 2 hours and got 2 thingamobobs!
