Keep it Alive

I like this. The tutorial had a really good flow to it and I felt comfortable with the mechanics by the time the real game started. I made it through one section of the dungeon but I wasn't sure what the squares and circles were for? I'd also suggest switching up the music a bit. I thought the shower in the bathroom was great :)

Overall thumbs up!

I downloaded and played this despite the submission page having absolutely no information about the game. I'm not sure why that is, because you clearly put a lot of work into this submission. It was more ambitious than most of the submissions I've played so far, and it's in a pretty polished state, too. Good job.

The graphics were awesome and simple! I loved the interactive tutorial. The music got a touch... repetitive. I might have missed something in the tutorial but I'm not sure why you could by the items in the lower left corner of the main section.

The tutorial was pretty good, but if I am not mistaken it does not address the "poop meter". The game is basic but enjoyable, with essential graphics. Showering is cool! The great number of bulletts that I can shoot by spamming lmb makes things a bit easy.

The barren submission page and itch make me suspicious though, why are they so empty?

Nice tutorial. Music and sound effects got annoying rather quickly but it's good that they were there. Graphics were simple but very clean and effective with a consistent visual style. Would have been nice to see some variety in enemies or some upgrades for your pet but still a nice game regardless, well done.

Very smooth! I wasnt able to open the shop the leave the tutorial though, pressing q didnt do anything.

I was impressed. You managed to do quite a lot here. The tutorial felt nice, although for a while I thought I lost my 'money' everytime I came back from the dungeon, until I realized that I actually 'stashed' the cash at home. I loved the concept of going out to gather loot, come back and buy stuff. Even the fact that I could buy squares and triangles for my base was a very nice touch, I really had that sweet sense of progression and accomplishment. I found it a bit too easy to get enough cash for food and soap though, but I LOVED the shower, and how you used your mechanics for that, simply brilliant! I also managed to poop all over my base, but didn't really figure out if that did anything except for put feces all over the place (Again a great detail)

The physics of the squares and circles felt really smooth, I think the only downside, apart from being a bit too easy, was the music, it was repetitive, and not looped very well.

All in all, a job well done. Thanks for getting me off to a good start on my journey through LD submissions :-)
