Not going to lie, when I first heard "Two Button" and "Growth" I actually thought pretty much along the same lines, though I was going to play it straight; but decided against it.

You definitely included both themes xD
I was super surprised by the plot twist at the beginning that I was like, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat."
The controls are a bit confusing at first, but I quickly adapted :)
I love the Tamagotchi look of the game! The fingers are kinda humorous and they also let me know if my button press registered, which is quite nice. They look like they could be cleaned up a bit better though. I didn't finish the game, as I have to write a paper due in an hour and a half xD Of what I have played, this is pretty fun :) I hope to come back to this after my paper is done!
Good job!
The feels :'c Rip gatchi
Really fun game! After a minute I thought, is this it? And then it got to the actual game!
Nice idea.
That was great!
Wow I know judging just started, but this is looking like one of my favorites all ready. Going in I thought it would be a silly pet game with cute graphics, but little did I know I would be in for an epic story such as this. 10/10 better than Undertale.
Very Very impressive at pretty much everything.
I always like the different gameplay setups and twists your LD games take :)
Best use of two buttons I've seen. And the chase scene is just great.
This is really creative and well done. Expectation subvertin' too. I didn't realise I had to press left AND right to switch to the map so that was confusing. I was just throwing food at my ghost for a while there. :)
Oh man, 12 year old me would have been SO into this! Current me just gets flashbacks :P
Well done!
Wasn't sure what was going on.
Very clever, liked how it subverted initial expectation and then became something else. Loved the thumbs on cardboard presentation. The final chase was fun too. I won, Jub is in jail now.
Wow, i did not see any of this coming, absolutely brilliant, full marks!
That was superb!! Love it love it.
I really had fun trying to solve the mystery. Love this idea. :)
Oh man, this is absolutely brilliant.
Surprising, funny, cute, just great. I loved the chase sequence at the end!
Pretty easily my favourite ld34 game so far!
nice one! i've never had a tamagotchi before :D
Simply fantastic. It went in such an unexpected direction. Great work. :-)
Genius in every way. The real life photograph graphics especially.
I was a bit too thick with the mystery to figure out who was the murderer...and just managed to find them by sheer luck, but I had a lot of fun! The narrative is cute, and the highlight of the game. Certainly had some unexpected turns.
What a plot twist!
It was really unexpected!
Gameplay is a bit simple, but I iliked the idea6 the graphics and the music!
Enjoyed the general presentation. Couldn't really get into the game itself once it got going, but I did enjoy the twist. Good use of both themes.
Really fun game. The chase scene was great, and I also really liked the chase scene's music. Great game all around.
After he says "press left or right to enter a house", when I press left or right it still just gives him toys or food.
An unexpected, nice detective game. The music was awesome too. I didn't quite get the investigation logic first time, but in the second playthrough it made sense. Good job!
Chase was just brilliant!
Couldn't beat the game without hints, but only because I am rating lots of titles and patience is thin.
You made a great game!
Wow that was phenomenal and made in only 48 hours to boot. You're going places for sure.
I love whodunnit stories in games so maybe I'm a bit biased but this is my favourite so far
Very interresting !
One of the most fun games in LD34. But I think I've found a bug. Witnesses were telling me that the favorite food and toy were candy and pencil, but they did not work and I ended up trying out everything. Mirco and candy worked out.
Great game! At first i really think it was going to be just a tamagotchi game. Great idea, story and gameplay!
AlexHonor: That's not a bug, if you read what people say in the game it makes sense
Really amazing! A detective game with only two buttons!
Good one, enjoyed it a lot! The intro is creepy and funny at the same time!
P.S. Accused a random guy and got "You win", am I just lucky?
Wow, this was amazing! I really enjoyed playing through this, you nailed all of the categories. I'd love to read more about how you did the "background" for the game, it was an awesome touch.
I was excited about this being an actual tamagotchi but what you made was so much more cool! Cute characters and lots of little things to find, one of my favs so far, good job! :)
Wow you weren't kidding, nice plot twist!
The game design is well thought out. I really love the music cute graphics too. Altogether, it's quite a fun little game. Best of luck! :D
Lovely little game ! I like the way you turned an apparent tamagoshi game in something else. And the investigation gameplay and design make this game fun, well done ! :)
Awesome game. Great idea, great controls (given the theme) and fantastic take on what I expected to be a "standard" tamagotchi game. Great stuff Sir!
Best use of two buttons I've seen...
Cute. Tamagotshi powa' - great ++
Awesome game, I got confused sometimes, but it's a great idea. Great use of the theme!
5/5
What a twist!
Great game!
I came here to test your game after reading your funny "behind the scenes" entry :)
Nice graphics, cool writing!
Neat little game, I liked it!
Awesome game! I love the tamagotchi style with a plot twist! Great job!
Very clever!
