A really funny take on tamagotchi! It was fun to play through, but would have benefited from being clearer with how far through the game you made it. I'm not sure I got to read all the brilliant writing!

Great entry, keep making games!

Cute game. Got a little repetitive after a while. I just let it sit for a while and fed/played/trained it when its mood went lower. Wish there was more penalites for doing things. Like I fed it a buuunch of pizza but it didnt seem to affect its mood.

I played this multiple times because I really love pet games, and I wanted to see all the endings. The alien part made me sad too. The humourous bits were really sweet, and I was very sad when he died of hunger by accident. I fed him obsessively the next game. It spooked me when he turned into a teen and his mood was permanently content. The evolutions were nice and they were satisfying. Great game!

This game is SO COOL! I really like all of the endings and dialogue. Thx for making this!

Awesome game! I love a good coding timeplapse! At first it wasn't clear to click the egg to make it hatch (if that's what made it hatch) I love all the unique messages and generally had a good time trying to see what other messages I could get! Keep making awesome games!

I really like the writing here, there's a lot of it and it's generally funny and never grating.

The pacing seemed a little iffy, you might want to give the player some indication that they're making progress, either by telling them that time is a factor early on(I think that's true?) or through some sort of gauge.

Also, I think the R key resets the game, which generally makes sense, but is a little inconvinient when trying to type a name with an R in it.

@zyrconium Thanks for playing and for letting me know about the issue with the R key, I'll get that fixed.

Love the writing of it and the different endings. But it's hard to see if and how I as a player make any progess. Maybe some feedback would be great.

Oddly enough, it was an unexpected take on the theme (to me).

It's kinda sad that Truche went with his people but well, that's life I suppose. :<

Anyway, simple but well made little game. It made me a bit nostalgic of my tamagotchi in the 90's.^^

The gameplay is correct, maybe adding a bit more feedback could help understand a bit more some things in the game (like the pacing, you don't really know how much you have to wait, that kind of things). I didn't really got to see if there is a difference if you feed him with Pizza or Bread, etc.. I tried to give him a bit of each and it seemed to please Truche.

The music and SFX are great. The volume is a bit too loud imho but it goes really well with the game and its mood.

As for the graphics, it's correct. Simple but it does the job. ^^ I like the color palette, it gives a fun & light vibe to the game. Oh and Truche was cute! ^^

Good job! o/
