Critter Rancher
Take Care of your critters! Press F to feed your critters tasty cookies if their food bar (Yellow bar above their head) is low, or else they will take damage which is shown by the health bar (Red bar). If you are not able to Take Care of your critters, they will perish and leave behind a gravestone which will summon a ghost at night to haunt (and hunt) your mortal critters. Use the Left Mouse Button to keep your critters out of the way of ghosts, move cookies into their reach, or move the ghosts away from your precious little critters. Or, for a more aggressive (and effective) way to keep the ghosts at bay, press and hold the Right Mouse Button to zap them with your blue extermination trail, but Take Care not to zap your living ones! Take Care of your critters for 3 days and they will disappear and give you points. See how many days and how many points you can get before all of your critters perish. Made in 72 hours for the Extra Credits game jam!

Install instructions
Download the .zip file for your platform (Windows or Mac). make sure you download the right one!
For PC: Start the game by double-clicking the unity file titled "Critter Rancher" inside of the "Critter Rancher (PC)" folder you just downloaded. Since no one else I know has a PC I haven't been able to test this yet.
For Mac: Because I am not a verified publisher, your Mac probably doesn't trust me. Depending on your browser, you may get the message “Critter Rancher.app.zip is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous”. If you get this message, click on the dropdown menu and choose “Keep”. In your Finder search your downloads for the unzipped file titled "Critter Rancher(Mac).app.zip" and the app “Critter Rancher”. Hold down the Control key and Click “Critter Rancher”. A message will pop up saying this is “from an unidentified developer. Are you sure you want to open it?” Dont worry - you can trust me! So click “Open” to start the game.
