This was adorable! Loved the animations and watching my little buddy grow. Movement speed was a little slow for my tastes but other than that I enjoyed my time :)

Dog murder setting you back to square one really took it out of me... a little too slow moving for a complete reset.
Quite an entertaining little game. It gives me a Gameboy Color Pokemon nostalgia, and really makes me wish for a retro hunting/survival game made in a similar manner.
The art is fantastic, and the music is great (though it gets repetitive very quickly).
I feel the controls would have been better if just JKIL was used to walk, and A + JKIL made your character sprint (though, some form of stamina would need to be implemented). Regardless, I definitely feel the two-button control theme/limitation doesn't do the game justice.
Additionally, I think it would have been helpful to see some kind of progress bar that displays how long it will take to grow/evolve.
Overall, I enjoyed it, and I sincerely hope you continue developing games! :D
Good use of the theme to see your creature evolve. The control scheme was a little wacky. I never really got used to it. Movement was a little too slow for me and made me lose interest a little too quickly. Good art, but the music was a little grating to me after a while.
Graphics and sound were adorable, and established the mood nicely. Loved your spin on "2-button controls". Thanks for the game!
The game feels a bit cumbersome since it's so hard to catch any of the creatures if you wish to kill them, and there's sort of a delay to any action you make. Otherwise, it's a neat idea and can be quite fun once you get the hang of it. I liked the graphics & animations too :). The control system was easy to get used to, and it's a very original approach to the two button theme.

Now, can you give me my time back please? :D
This was amazingly addictive and relaxing. Had to kill the dragon, killed the dragon, would do again.
Great game if you aren't put off by the tempo.
Thanks for the thoughts and feedback so far guys! Even though I didn't get to refine everything to my satisfaction, it's always very helpful for me to learn about how others experience the game, so I can see where I should take it and where glaring problem areas are! Keep 'em coming!

I am wholly impressed with your perseverance! While I cannot refund your time (it's already spent, sorry), I think your efforts are at least worth a trophy. Enjoy the new 64x64 image on your profile page! I also audibly clapped for you even though nobody could hear it. Thanks for playing and actually sticking to it! :)
A bit slow paced, but seems like it could be a fun game. Nice work!
Interesting concept!
thank you for that trophy! Not only did I kill the dragon, I also have something to put on my shelf to show for it! :)
Also thank you for playing and rating my game.
Really liked the art style and the music, although personally I would have liked to have been a bit faster than the food I was trying to eat. Chasing it for days was a bit tedious.
Cool little game, very relaxing. :)
Game is comfy. Like as soon my mind melds with the controls, and I grasp evolving, mating, and stats I knew exactly what I had to do. spd > hp > atk was my goal. I'm still playing, but I knew that I really do enjoy this game.
Chill music, level grinding game-play I love, and pretty easy to grasp the situation once situated, and the presentation, good job. Looking forward to more games from you.
I like the progression and the controls were unique.
Interesting game concept. It's fun to play, fits the theme very well and I like the graphics very much. I think it would be nice if the other animals would try to attack the player.
Interesting idea, like the gfx style :)
Cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/xIPr3jDQjJ0
