I really wasn't expecting something this deep, intricate and engrossing for a mob game. I've been puttering around in-game for hours, and there's so much to do here. You can head into the forest, catch yukkuri (graded by rank--niceheads tend to be A or higher, but I've caught an A alice that was pretty shithead), keep them at home to raise as pets and/or breed, sell them at the yukkuri shop (where you can also buy yukkuri if you prefer), abuse them in many, many ways, or just kill them outright (would be nice if you are given many options to hurt or squash yukkuri though, but that's probably for future updates)... the list is endless.
Or you can even just wander around aimlessly as I did and poke around the game to see new features, like the yukkuri food stall, much recommended for the discerning yukkuri gourmet (I hope the programmer/s will be adding more entries to the menu, the fact that they're very detailed is a nice touch).
It's rather humbling that indie gaming is so unappreciated and ignored by the mainstream: the framework of this extremely niche raising simulation game alone can easily rival even AAA game companies' efforts. I for one have the site bookmarked in case of future updates.
You're right in that rank isn't always reliable. I sold an S-class Reimu that was a hog. She knocked all the smaller ones away, and even the ones her size. It wasn't like she was body-slamming them, it's more like she thrashed around like a tornado while eating. It made the others cry from getting hurt or going hungry, so she's not worth keeping.
BTW, does this game's yukkuri cry when they're going to shit?

no, but they fart, and it made me laugh my ass off when I heard it out of nowhere in the forest.
It really is quite a piece of work. And the fact it's continuing to receive updates even when it's already to this playable a point is really something else.
