Little Survivors

A simple roguelite with two distinct characters, but one terrible bug that ruins a lot of fun. You are plunged into the action with no explanation or tutorial, so you must figure out how things work on your own. Fortunately, this isn't hard because the entire gameplay requires the use of movement and only one button. Depending on the character, you will be dealing with either a charging dog or exploding eggs. First, there is the boy and his dog. After pushing the button, it will race towards its owner, crashing into anything in its way. This will either kill an enemy, or demolish a column. The only real barrier is trees that cannot be destroyed. If more enemies are in the path, they will all take damage. Since the dog goes in a straight line, you must position yourself so that it hits your target. The challenge is that the dog must rest for a few seconds before each attack. The girl, on the other hand, uses a bird and its exploding eggs. When you hit the button, she will drop an egg on the ground. You must run away fast because it will shortly detonate and injure everyone nearby, including yourself. Although you have to be careful where to drop eggs, it's much easier compared to the dog because it gives you more control. You progress through a series of small playing grounds that resemble comic book panels. Each panel is a random wave containing a few enemies, obstacles, or destructible objects. The main enemy is a glurk, which resembles a goblin. Aside from the basic type that dies after one hit, there are armored glurks that take two strikes, glurks that rush at you, and ranged glurks that shoot bombs or acid. What is interesting is that you can wander around the white surface of the panel before the wave and decide where to jump in. Until you do, foes will remain motionless. After defeating all enemies, you can go to the next stage by selecting one of two options. These options are represented with an icon that represents the reward for beating a panel. It could be an extra heart, or a new animal companion. Even though these companions appear on the field automatically, they have to wait a few seconds before each activation. They will either attack or support. So, while a sheep functions as a lure, causing attackers to follow it instead of you, a whale drops down from the sky and smashes the unsuspecting enemy. It is possible to find the same companion again. This will raise its level and boost its efficiency. The game is divided into four chapters, with each chapter increasing the amount of panels you must beat. In addition, each chapter concludes with a boss fight. To complete the game, you must beat all chapters with both characters. Completing a chapter rewards you with a new dog or bird at the main hub, where you may also switch between characters and chapters. Those same animals can also appear as companions in the game. The game is decent, albeit a little too simple. Sadly, there is one aggravating bug that ruins your chapter progress. There are a lot of situations where you will spawn in an empty panel with no enemies or objects. This makes them impossible to beat, and the only thing you can do is quit the current run.

A nice short game, feels like puzzle more than a survivor game but when you finish the campaign there's also a very good survivor mode (infinite mode) Pretty much get 2 game in 1

非常にカジュアルなローグライトゲーム 1章辺りランダム生成されたステージを10個クリアする必要があり、ハートを獲得するステージへ向かうか能力を獲得するステージに迎えるかを選べる（選択肢が両方同じ時もある） 初期キャラクターの場合、デフォで保有する能力は自分の素へ犬を突進させ直線上の敵や障害物を攻撃させる 敵に接近された際に対応するすべはないのでキャラコンと能力を活かして上手く自分の元へ来る前に敵を封殺する必要があり、ややパズルゲームのようなプレイ感 200~300yenくらいの出来だがまぁインディーなので定価がやや高いことには目を瞑ってお勧めとしておく

召唤自己的宠物冲撞敌人，撞柱子，救主子。 获得更多宠物随从，自动攻击敌人。 每关都是小箱庭，紧凑小迷宫，破坏地形，绕柱子像是捉迷藏，等宠物冷却时间，反击敌人。 我随机救到第二个狗不知道干嘛用的，没有升级。 选往左走下个地图，我2，3次都会被卡出屏幕，要自己走回地图内部。 狗子总是卡住不动。 缺少主菜单和游戏说明。 似乎死亡后就一切归零了，还好地图是随机的。 被动宠物技能自动释放，时间完成时间太接近了，效率比较低。

A charming little game with a cute arty style and surprisingly tricky gameplay.

There are also two characters, so if you don't really mind doing them, you can split my time in two. For the rest, the game is pretty nice. Even if I'm not really the public, I enjoyed going through the levels and even grinding a bit of success. I really liked the infinite mode at the end, where it feels a bit like Vampire Survivors, but that you must attack yourself. In short, a rogue lite where you must survive, safe animals and kill enemies and bosses with your saved animals or items. ---{Information}--- Template source: https://github.com/Lemrac/game-review-evaluation-sheet Curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38087514/

6.5/10 Рогалик как рогалик, на вечер-два пойдет, глубокого геймплея не ждите Мы "управляем" животными Жмякая на пробел либо зверь идёт к нам, либо от нас в зависимости от персонажа Все подбираемые бонусы активируются сами по кд На мой взгляд часто они вредят нежели помогают В игре есть машинный Русский перевод Как написано в шапке "это короткая и доступная rogue-lite, в которой упор сделан на простые, но приятные бои с монстрами" так оно и есть

This is a fun little game with lots of good ideas ! If you're looking for an indie game with a gory cartoon look in the spirit of a rogue-lite but with a bit of strategy, this game deserve your attention. There are a few aspects that need improvement; I'm looking forward to the next gameplay additions and patches, which should open up some exciting prospects!

卡通好玩游戏，吹口哨让小狗创死怪物，打倒问号雕塑可以解放一个宠物，过关左右下角可以选择前进路线，是要宠物还是心心呢？ 难度还可以，最大麻烦就是走位碰撞，狭小空间很容易被碰到，所以要尽量让小狗冲撞干掉小怪。

Divertido, adictivo y desafiante. No sé nada de Rogue-lites, pero aprender a jugar sobre la marcha es una aventura que recomiendo a todo tipo de jugadores. Y les prometo que les va a gustar la ballena.
