Little Charmander becomes Charizard, I like it. A little hard to tell who's health was what but I got what was mana right away. Good job guys.

Its sometimes hard to shot without changing directions but i had fun making that little monster grow!!

The game looks great and it is a lot of fun to make your 'puppy' grow. But it can be really difficult to shoot to the right side of the screen.

I like the game but hitting both buttons can be a little tough to do without flipping around. Excellent try though!

That ain't no puppy. For anyone having input issues, walk the direction you want to shoot and then press the other key.

I was very sad when they first ate my frog, it was kind of hard to shoot in right direction and my mana went down so fast... But my frog grown up to a nice dragon, good job!

@fpwong, yes! That makes things way easier. It wasn't until after the jam was over that we noticed some people had a hard time picking up on that. A lesson learned for the next LD!

Very nice graphics! Fun game :) The controls are honestly not that optimal though.

Hey, that was fun! Liked the gameplay idea of the growing ally, which helps you more at the end that you do. The music what niceluy out of touch with the action, adding to the atmosphere.

Was a nice calm yet challenging game :) I really enjoyed it.

funny game ^^

Wow. What an awesome game! The graphics and music are both great and the gameplay is near perfect. The pet starts out so cute and gets so mean looking. haha. I liked how used the camera zoom out to emphasize the pet getting bigger. I did a similar thing in my game. This is one of the best games I've played so far. 5 stars!

I really like the ideas going on here, but I really don't care for the controls. (even with the holding down one, then pressing the other to shoot in the proper direction). I did feel as if mana was a bit too difficult to manage, even when I felt like I was being conservative it seemed to drain a bit too quickly (or regen a bit too slowly).

Aside from that, the graphics are adorable and fit perfectly and the music fit the mood of the game, was never too intrusive, and enjoyed listening to it the entire time ^^ Really liked playing this one.

"Oh hey, a chicken. OH GOD IT'S EATING HIM." *foom*

Anyways, awesome game! I love the smooth graphical style. Like many others have said, the two-button controls are a little bit strange, but I was able to figure out how they work.

Great job. :D

really nice growing theme, and really clean graphics, I like it!

pixelpub 2015-12-18 17:22

The grafics are very nice, but I have problems to shot.

Good take on the feeding game genre, definitely matches the theme well.

schizophrenicghost 2015-12-22 03:27

Love the game! Very cute and simple game. I don't know why, but I didn't think the music was quite fitting for this game. But I like the graphics and I thought the concept for this game was fantastic!

Very nice

ohmmus 2015-12-30 18:23

I got the hang of the controls, but mana seemed to run out regardless. I really liked it overall: great audio, graphics, use of both themes, and mostly solid gameplay!

rovingsquid 2015-12-30 21:08

The controls are a little sticky, but over all a fun game. Love the artwork!
