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.

kill0u 2014-12-08 13:38

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 ?

kill0u 2014-12-08 16:41

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!

adrianulima 2014-12-09 13:41

cool game.. I liked it!!!

conk 2014-12-09 13:43

Nice game play and visuals (:

Nifty idea! Though I think my tama might have ended up with mild diabetes lol. Great work!

hobomechanistic 2014-12-09 13:44

I thought the erratic movements actually kind of fit the aesthetic, thought the idea was good and it was definitely fun to play :D.

borgi 2014-12-09 17:25

Cool idea, nice implementation! Good job!

demy 2014-12-09 17:26

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.

kill0u 2014-12-09 17:36

Well, Tama is dumb :3 I made its pathfinding chaotic on purpose ;)

Thanks to you all for playing & for your comments :)

murchurl 2014-12-10 07:11

Haha I always loved these things. Simple but i like how you interpreted the theme! goo job!

01rafael 2014-12-11 09:10

Lovely! Save the shity rabbit and let him find the candy. Shounds like brandnew hit!

stevekratos 2014-12-11 09:11

Good work...

ossi 2014-12-11 09:20

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!

radstar 2014-12-11 09:21

nice graphics and good idea. but I find it weird that the shurikens are thrown at the opposite side of the mouse...

delahee 2014-12-11 12:42

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...

kill0u 2014-12-11 12:46

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) ;)

voxel 2014-12-11 15:26

Certainly more entertaining than a real tamogotchi. Poops were a nice touch. More games need poops.

x70x 2014-12-11 15:27

This is a really cute and well executed idea. Nice work.

ludum-dare-riga 2014-12-11 15:32

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

tmpxyz 2014-12-11 15:33

interesting, kinda hard to control, but it's good

gungnir 2014-12-11 15:54

Interesting control scheme, and nicely polished. Would love to feel a little closer (scale wise) to the cute characters.

zkenshin 2014-12-12 19:26

Cute entry, nice job!

erhune 2014-12-14 15:03

Very nicely done. I agree with some people here: games need more poop! (Ed McMillen understand that perfectly well!)

dunin 2014-12-19 10:05

cut game, but controls are really weird, Hard to master that (for me...)

01101101 2014-12-19 17:40

Nice one :) Movements are a bit weird sometimes but overall it works pretty well. Quite a fun game anyway :)

papygaragos 2014-12-29 16:11

Cool concept, but the little tama sometimes run straight into an enemy while i am just beside him and there is no candy nearby... -_-
