Pretty cool game. You might want to look a bit into path-finding, you might find it useful for Tama's movement :)

Good Job Kill0u, that's nice ! Mostly for Tama, who need to eat. Good thing is. ;)
If he is still hungry, I have pixelated wheat.
Thanks!
@FerraWare : he is already using it. I just made it dumb in purpose :P He can only follow you when he sees you, you're not too far and you're not too close (that one is to allow you to move without him getting in the way too much).
As I thought, you did this game very well. I love little Tama :D i have a little time to understand how choose the directions of shurikens, but Pulsar help me :D jut one question, you have design yourself the character ?
Yep, I have drawn everything in this game ;) I needed easy-to-draw head-only characters :P
The shooting style is indeed borrowed from Pulsar, which was from Death vs Monstars. The latter is great to know more about how this works (with the visible target).
Really cute design, polished UI, as a designer I really like the visuals you did. Everyone loves tamagotchis and I think this is a really nice effort in two days!
cool game.. I liked it!!!
Nice game play and visuals (:
Nifty idea! Though I think my tama might have ended up with mild diabetes lol. Great work!
I thought the erratic movements actually kind of fit the aesthetic, thought the idea was good and it was definitely fun to play :D.
Cool idea, nice implementation! Good job!
Nice one
This game has a great atmosphere to it, and definitely has some potential. Make sure you do a post-compo version! Great game overall.
Nice game. Nice graphics. I would appreciate better pathfinding for Tama.
Well, Tama is dumb :3 I made its pathfinding chaotic on purpose ;)
Thanks to you all for playing & for your comments :)
Haha I always loved these things. Simple but i like how you interpreted the theme! goo job!
Lovely! Save the shity rabbit and let him find the candy. Shounds like brandnew hit!
Good work...
Cute game! I like the throwback to the tamagotchi and using that for the theme. It was pretty funny when the tama was scared and it pooped! The use of the guide throwing the ninja stars to help protect tama from enemies is a really cool mechanic. Well done!
nice graphics and good idea. but I find it weird that the shurikens are thrown at the opposite side of the mouse...
good job!
i'd prefer to be a knight who wants to save his princess instead of a ninja (wtf) with a pet. Maybe it's because i'm an old player...
Thanks!
Ahah yeah :D
The little story behind the ninja in one word: graphics. That was wayyyyy easier to draw than anything else I could come up with :D
As for the throwing mechanism, it's borrowed from Death vs Monstars (thanks Benjamin for the hint) ;)
Certainly more entertaining than a real tamogotchi. Poops were a nice touch. More games need poops.
This is a really cute and well executed idea. Nice work.
Nice controls. Kinda made me curious :)
Also nicely balanced. Had hard time and did not pass all levels.
As for theme use. Found it slightly cheesy
interesting, kinda hard to control, but it's good
Interesting control scheme, and nicely polished. Would love to feel a little closer (scale wise) to the cute characters.
Cute entry, nice job!
Very nicely done. I agree with some people here: games need more poop! (Ed McMillen understand that perfectly well!)
cut game, but controls are really weird, Hard to master that (for me...)
Nice one :) Movements are a bit weird sometimes but overall it works pretty well. Quite a fun game anyway :)
Cool concept, but the little tama sometimes run straight into an enemy while i am just beside him and there is no candy nearby... -_-
