Great story I had a quite a lot of fun chasing Merlin around ,and reading the way Merlin dies when you can not keep up (My favorite being when Merlin jumps out the window). The text in the beginning was very small and you had a lot of extra space in the grey area to make the text bigger, but overall very very fun game. You also stuck to the game jam theme, GREAT JOB!

Liking the humor you developed here. I pretty much just went after Merlin and fixed any mess that I encountered in-between. So he never couldn't actually do stuff^^

I found the game quite funny and enjoyed keeping Merlin out of trouble.

Innovative and fun concept but Merlin is SUCH A BAD BOY. Keep it up :)

That little trouble maker! What is it anyway? Doesn't matter, I took care of him and cleaned the house so everything is fine :)

I like the overall game and the story!

Simple and sweet! The game flows well, and the story and text are hilarious. Some sort of end-game counter or countdown would have helped me understand what I needed to do. Keeping Merlin alive while also trying to clean the house is a great way to add to the theme (rather than just trying to keep something alive). Well done!

Really fun concept. Merlin is a pest! It reminded me of trying to clean the house when my cat is running around crazy.

I would just add a little more feedback on if I'm doing okay with the cleaning or not.

Great job!

God dammit Merlin.. That was more fun than I expected. I was a responsible pet keeper my first playthrough but then I went back just to see all the fail states, kinda like I was playing a sierra adventure game. Could use some more sound effects but I appreciate there is at least an alert sound when Merlin is screwing around with something.

The "dog" is too fast for my legs!!! Anyway, i think i have cleaned my house, soo... everything is fine, i guess???

Thanks for the game. Wish you the best of luck :)

I really enjoyed the writing in this and a got a few solid chuckles. Blue makes for an awful friend, but great writing subject matter! It also wasn't hard to figure out what to do, because there were status messages to tell me what Merlin was up to, which was smart.

Whoever designed this house's architecture is a sadist though! :P

All-round solid entry!

"Like a frog or something" :frog: :joy: Fun game, really like how absurd Merlin's movements were :grin: Weird "surround" music, but cool little game overall :slight_smile:

This was fun! It definitely captures the theme well. The dialog is a nice touch to give some backstory to the game. Nice job!
