I liked this game! Reminds me of Tamagotchi
Thats so cool!
It's not very deep, but I was still always amused by the results of my decisions. Also, the graphics are phenomenal, nice job.
Fun, good graphics and effects. I liked it. I don't know if I won because my guy became one with the world and disappeared, and that's a W in my book honestly
Love it, would have liked a little more variation but overall it was a great little game and really on theme!
sounds good!
This is great!
ahahah. It was fun! :) good game, man!
If I could give you a 6/5 for humor I would!
Nice! My pet kept dying due to happiness.
This is hillarious! I loved watching the responses from the pet.
Imagine dying because you laughed at ducks. It's a really great game.
Tamagotchi was the first thing I thought about when the ludum dare theme was revealed. Great job on doing a version of that.
Love the humor.
Nice Tamagotchi implementation. I think that it slightly trips up by not having more of an emotional attachment to the character, perhaps a bit of music would help? Also a nice font would do just the job. Well done.
Fun game) Developer has good idea. Graphics is relay neat)
I bursted out laughing when it gave that dead stare. "We already are." Good job with the sounds and managing to communicate emotions with so little. :thumbsup:
They are some nice riffs on tamagotchi and general jokes in there, amazing xD And very well polished and presented, good job.
I love this game ! So fun and well done !
Very cute
Thanks for every pixel
Haha, that's cute! One gotta love the visuals alongs with sounds. Cool implementation of digtal game, I like it.
Had a good laugh :) Very cute!
This feels perfect in every aspect. It looks good, sounds good, brings back memories, stays fun longer than a regular Tamagotchi, and there's always a surprise!
That's so cute!
Awesome game! Actually found myself laughing when I became the pet!
This was a cute fun game! However, it kind of feels like a retextured reigns. Either way, I enjoyed it.
Pretty hilarious! I liked the various dialogue snippets you added and the animations / sounds were spot on. I wish I had a little more control over what I was doing, but a straight up Tamagotchi clone wouldn't have been fun, so this is a nice take on it.
Good work!
Really love the humor in it, simple yet fun
Okay okay, I actually chuckled a little when the little green **** said "we already are" when I explicitly requested that they play a video game.
gotta say, I was never a big fan of tamagotchi, but this was a really cute little reminder of those more simpler days... Thanks :3
Well done. I loved the art.
Love the hilarious game and the theme!
The pixel friend was lovely. Unfortunately the beautiful friendship had a tragic end to it. I cannot write any longer. I must now mourn and thing back of all the good times we had.
Super. Very great that you used a simple limited palette. Animation is matching. It is great idea to give the users choices.
Fantastic, this is a really funny little game and it's so lovely!
Really funny ! I liked it a lot, found the mixing between Reigns and Tamagotchi really interesting too !
Nice game! I didn't expect that when I saw the Tamagochi vibe of the game but it was a great surprise and the humor is very well placed. Good Job !
haha cool sense of humor for a tamagochi ! :)
This is really amazing! It is also super funny. I was not able to keep him alive. Is there a different ending? :)
Funny mix between Reigns and Tamagotchi
Dying due to happiness is a good death I guess :D
Amazing game! Made me laugh many times. I love the "You are my pet now" That was great! Only thing is I didn't like that the buttons were a different pixel count from the rest, I mean it makes sense but it just kind of looked weird. Even just a lower pixel count would have been nice. All around though a great experience that I enjoyed greatly!
Very nice! and very cute. Great humor and really well designed. Maybe having the buttons integrated with the theme would be the cherry on top.
Tamagochi! I missed it! lol I liked your art.
This game made me happy, SO HAPPY I COULD DIE
Very cute little game. I nearly went with the tamagotchi / virtual pet theme as well. It's reactions were fun to see, and some were downright hilarious. My favorites being "We already are" in response to "Should we play a game" and "You are my pet" to "Should it get a pet". Especially combined with the dead stare. Those had me genuinely laughing out loud. Well done.
Graphics were so nice and smooth!! Very cute game, I ended up attached to my pet and was sad when he died of happiness
Not gonna lie, clicked on it for the tama picture lol! Even though the gameplay is simple choices, I really enjoyed this as it isn't instant death and gives the player a chance to recover! Really great job, played it quite a few times :D
I chortled out loud a few times, not going to lie! Very cute. Brought back memories of my own Tamagotchi in c.1996. Like this, it was a bootleg one and had some... idiosyncrasies. Overall a nice twist on some surprising Reigns-influenced gameplay.
its a very easy but awesome and enjoyable game. everything is spot on! Good job :)
Such a cute little game! Very simple but the different endings gave it a replayability factor. I liked that it was so adorable but also I felt like he was staring into my soul at times... I couldn't keep it alive unfortunately but I did try multiple times! Maybe adding a counter so you can see how many endings you've unlocked would be fun coz that would beep me trying and trying until I got them all! Well done on a great game!
Hahah, first game im giving a high humor score. The graphics matched the game perfectly, and the gameplay is simple yet fun. Well done :-)
So simple but yet so addictive and well made. I laughed multiple times, nice humor. And I don't know why, but the sounds are really cute!
Really enjoyed it! Great writings, sounds and graphics are wonderful! Good job!
Cuta and funny!
Help, my pet is too happy and it keeps killing itself!
It took quite a while (5+ runs) for me to figure out why it was dying and that there were meters I had to maintain. I had assumed that I wanted to pick the option that played the happy sound, and was confused why that killed them. I eventually noticed the changing stats tho, and when I did, I got a bit further, but *why is the thing so damn happy?!* You gotta actively make it sad to keep it alive, which was such a weird but interesting dynamic, I was often picking the bad options just to keep it going! Awesome game, could've just been a bit clearer with the stats. :heart:
I kept killing it with love, and that one question... oh that one question, I should I spotted you before I killed it with love again. It was a really fun take on the Tamagotchi style game. You did a good job of making the control scheme for it so simple, and the different scenarios you come across can be quite funny based on how you answer them.
This game was one of the first that I found and when I saw my friend playing it I was screaming each time that the egg flying for the map. Really, it was very exciting and funny. The only thing that I would change is the feedback of the pile of straw, because in the beginning I think that it was also floor and I did not understand that it was part of mechanics easily. Maybe with a little animation it would be solved. Thanks for this good entertaining game!
I guess I'm too good of a pet owner because it always died of happiness lol. I enjoyed this and the fourth wall breaks :D
It needs to poop.
HOLD IT IN
Wow, I really enjoyed it. Probably the most humourous game I have played in this LDJam :D
Good nostalgic, fourth-wall-breaking fun :smile:
(•___•) I didn't want to sing a song anyway
I really like the writing in this. Play a videogame? WE ALREADY ARE!
Great stuff
Oh man, that was way more interesting than i thought. It's like a tamagotchi-choose-your-own-adventure-thing. Very well written, absolutely hilarious and cute. The pixel art accompanying the texts was spot an and made it even funnier. The sound effects were a bit loud, so I had to turn down the volume a lot. The sharp sounds of the retro hardware was hurting my brain. I played to sessions to see how different it got even that was refreshing. I really dont't have much in terms of criticism. I fully enjoyed myself. A job well done!
Reminds me of tamagochi and the choices are funny. Great little game.
The pixel art is awesome. The audio as well was nice. All the 4th wall breaking moments were laugh out loud in all honesty XD. I thought Greeny was a good name btw. For what it does, it's great. Easily the funniest game of the jam. Great job :)
Neat little game with a lot of character!
Simple game, but very well polished. I loved the way the creature zoomed in with its deadpan expression. Lots of little funny bits all around.
As someone else mentioned, it would be neat if you could see how many endings exist and which ones you've already found. Some music would be nice, but the sound effects are good.
Otherwise I can't think of much to suggest. Fantastic work!
Happiness is main cause of pets death :) nice game, well done really! maybe a background music is a nice to have but could have changed the mood of the game, maybe
Ha ha ha ha, it's very similar to a machine I played when I was a child. I miss it very much. Thank you.
Well, you made Tamagotchi:). And it is completely fine for what it is. Very cute and great sound choices!
Although I seem to be killing my pet with happiness whatever I do.
