I think this game has a good sense of style, and I like that there's something plot-adjacent going on with your sick partner. The thing I'm conflicted about is that though this hard deadline adds a sense of urgency --not a bad thing on its own-- it doesn't feel very compatible with a luck-heavy creature collection game. It gives me the sense of "why bother trying, even if I play the same few minigames perfectly every single time, I could still fail due to poor luck." Since the minigames are simple and repetitive, the idea of getting to the end, failing due to bad luck, and then having to play them hundreds of times again, fills me with dread lol. Perhaps this isn't the case and I need to get further into the game (only in zone 2 atm), but that's how it feels now. It could also be very hard to fail, or continue after the (what appears to be hard) deadline-- but that's not something the player would know just starting out. Still, this is more of a personal thing about 100%-ing collections, so I regardless think it deserves a higher rating. I would definitely keep playing, as I'm curious about these mentioned darker aspects and further zones, but that hard deadline just takes the wind out my sails. I want to collect 100%, or none at all lol. I'd love a setting to toggle it off, but I understand that it would make the point of the game moot in some respects. It may just not be for me.

Overall, I still think it has potential. The art and layout are a little nostalgic, and it seems like it's going for a more "deep lore"-ish vibe, which is good given the very simple game style. The UI is a considerable step up from Poofle Mutation idle-- feels more nostalgic/old-school than clunky and outdated. No idea if that was carried over at all or entirely new. The minigames are very repetitive, but I'm sure that's a known concern. Overall a nice little game to play at work to make the time go by. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing your game!

developer response: thank you so much for playing and giving me so much to think about! you've made me realize that I just...shouldn't show the timer, for reasons I will not specify.

my question to you (and anyone interested), if you don't mind (and feel free to come on over to the discord if you're cool with chatting more!) - do the minigames actually just make the game worse? like, if I just...don't have any, and you just have passive/risky... is that better? my intention was that if you didn't want to play the minigames you just...wouldn't. do they feel too rewarding?

lot's to think about, thanks again!

It doesn't seem to run very well on chrome. The minigames don't respond very well while they're so laggy.

developer response: thank you for taking the time to play! performance is definitely something I need to work on and will be a big component of the next update!!

I just completed the game (all normies and supers), and overall I really like it (gave it 5/5). The graphics and animations are good, and the features are well balanced and feel finished enough. However, for me both the bad ending and the good ending don't seem to work. I found the last normie, and it's not letting me catch it. And the gameplay gets repetitive somewhere in the middle, but those are my only complaints. Great game with a few flaws.

developer response: so sorry to hear the endings aren't working :( I'll definitely make sure those are ironed out for the next version, thank you for playing!!

pretty cute and fun! has a few bugs that need to be worked out (namely not being able to click anything and needing to refresh. SPOILER: I'm not able to click either option in the infini-cure screen. is this a bug or did I not meet conditions? i 100%ed. if bugged, it doesn't fix with the refresh.) also, desperately needs a few more many games

developer response: definitely just another bug unfortunately :( if you made it to the end-game screen, you already met the conditions. will get these worked out in the next version!

thanks so much for playing!!

really like the basic idea. but as other mention not much meat on the bone.

1. a few more design of the creatures (f.e. 20 different ear forms, 20 different face forms, combine into 400 different creatures)

2. Bonuses that improve the game depending on the creatures (Automation, multipliers too get new/rarer ones, some way you actually use these creatures)

3. More to do

developer response: l love all these ideas! the second one won't make it into v2 but I've toyed with the idea of having places where you can park Crinchures of different types to give buffs so it'll probably come in a form like that.

thanks again for playing, hope to see you in the next version!

Beat the game in a couple hours. I love the visuals, they're super cute, but it could be a bit longer. I would also appreciate some aspect of automation.

developer response: thanks for playing! v2 will feature a large number of new collectables to gather!

I did It I got every single crinchure tho the game seems to break when you try to select the last crinchure it still awards it but menus stop working untill you reload and after that you can no longer collect anymore

developer response: that's like...the worst possible conclusion ever I'm so sorry :( working as fast as I can to get the next version out!! thank you so much for playing all the way to the end!

Nice concept, but gets a bit repetitive, would be nice if certain critters added some sort of variety to the gameplay.
A way to skip/disable certain animations would go a long way as well. After a certain amount of captures you really start getting tired of seeing the animation for the Results screen, day change and captures.

developer response: thanks for playing! and I hear ya! love the idea of gameplay interactions from certain Crinchures; will probably not come out until v3 but that sounds great!

I'll see what I can do about adding an impatient toggle to the settings (no flame, I'm impatient too LOL) thanks again!!

Kinda reminds me of Poofle Mutation Idle

developer response: that's great to hear, because that's our other game! I'm glad the vibes are consistent 💖 thanks for playing!
