Muni Muni
A downloadable game for Windows
a tiny cozy village game i made to play when league of legends tilts me
Little beings called Muni live on a little island. they crouch, spring, stretch, land with a squish, and wobble back to rest. they're pretty cute. now with hats.
How to play
- Click a Muni to boop it (squish, boing, hearts). hover to see its name. they come in little name families: -uni, -ani, -oni, -ini, -eni.
- Click a tree, berry bush or bubbly water to send the nearest idle Muni to chop, pick or fish. Munis also pick jobs on their own.
- Build with the bottom bar (or keys 1-7). left-click to place, right-click / Esc to cancel. flowers and fences stay selected so you can place many.
- Hats! fishing finds shells. pick the gift box (3 shells) and click a Muni to drop a random hat on their head. right-click any Muni to change into hats you own.
- Houses give beds. when there's a free bed and 3 berries, a new Muni hops out of a house.
- Munis eat a berry every ~40s. no berries = hungry (slow, sad bubble), although it's rare that they run out.
- Night: everyone wanders home and sleeps (and snores, softly).
Goal (if you want one)
get 6 Munis and cozy 30, then build the Lighthouse. the island is big now, so take your time.
Controls
Look around: drag the ground (or WASD / arrow keys, or two-finger scroll). Zoom: mouse wheel, pinch, or + / -. H goes back home.
M mute. F fast-forward if you have low attention span. the Sound button has three knobs: Music, Ambience and Sounds.
Changelog
v0.2 — Hats, a bigger island & a calmer soundscape
- Renamed: the game is Muni Muni and the little beings are called Muni.
- 13 hats to find: beanie, bucket hat, mushroom cap, big bow, party hat, flower crown, bear ears, sprout, acorn cap, tiny crown, wizard hat, frog hat, strawberry. they're drawn to fit the Muni's round head and boing when they land.
- Fishing & shells: Muni fish at bubbly water and find shells. spend 3 on a gift box and drop a random hat on someone. right-click a Muni to open their outfits.
- Much bigger island (about 2.4x the land) with more trees, bushes, flowers and fishing spots, so there's real room to build.
- Camera: drag the ground to look around, plus mouse wheel / pinch / +- zoom, so you can see the whole island or get up close to the Muni.
- Name families: Muni, Tuni, Kuni, Runi, Juni, Luni… (plus -ani, -oni, -ini, -eni families with their own tint and voice).
- New music: a different melody for day and for night, each almost three minutes long, so the loop isn't obvious.
- Sound overhaul: three separate volume knobs (Music, Ambience, Sounds), and a sound limiter so a crowd of Muni or fast-forward isn't overwhelming. each Muni lands on its own soft note. little chirps, coos, giggles, yawns and snores.
- Atmosphere: butterflies, drifting petals, cloud shadows, fireflies at night, rain.
- Fixes: calmer, softer ambience (waves, rain, night crickets) and a cuter snore, hats are properly centered, cut-off button labels fixed.
v0.1 — First little version
hopping Muni, building houses, chopping and berries, day/night, a lighthouse to build.
let me know
this is a small thing i made to unwind, and i'm not sure where to take it next. so, let me know what i can do to make it better or finish it. or if i should just give up. either's fine honestly. The game is still early so any comments are welcome. outfits and a bigger island are in now, what should come next?
