How to play 

First, you can choose between three different playmodes:

In Classic Mode, you need to collect items before you can place them. As well, items can not overlap directly, so you most likely need to use more matchsticks and toothpicks.

In Unlimited Mode you have unlimited items available.

Creative Mode you have unlimited items and no building restrictions to fully spark your creativity!

On the left there are the two editing modes of "Building" and "Collect/ Disassemble". 

In the top right corner, you can switch between Day and Night and turn on Rain - to change the mood of your creative setting.

You can activate the "Photo Mode" in the top right corner to hide all UI-Elements, if you want to take a screenshot of your creation. Feel free to share that picture on social media with #littleCritters and #cozyFallJam24!

What an adorable little game! It took me a little while to work out the mechanics but the guide helped, I love how vibrant the colours are even in an autumn/fall setting! Great work!
