  Little Critter Hunters — Free demo out now

  Hi everyone.Thank you for playing Taskbar Looters. It's a simple game to play, but it turned out to be a properly demanding one to build. I hope the looters have been good company while you got on with whatever else was on your screen.Since then I've been building a new incremental RPG: Little Critter Hunters. You rotate three heroes into the field and wipe out every little critter within 15 seconds.The free demo is out now. Give it one quick run, and a wishlist or a line of feedback would help more than you'd think. Thanks!

Move Speed was broken on every pet; Attack and Attack Speed on some. Stars you already spent are stored as levels and apply in one go when you log in Fixed the critical bug where high-level damage turned negative and healed chests instead — applied to all pets Fixed pets that fly up to air chests being unable to open one on their own Fixed the pet meant to strike by passing through a chest sticking to it in place Fixed pets biting at unreachable air chests from the ground Fixed pets clipping into chests or swinging at empty air — strike positioning rebuilt on every pet Fixed pets overlapping each other when crowding the same chest Fixed the attacking pet bei...
