Interesting and challenging, a good game as always :) Love that you make these HTML and therefor accessible to everyone :)
He lived to be a child aged 104, in life he ate a lot of his own poop, in death, he continued to poop
Interesting game, I couldn't get my turtle to sleep
Really nice game, made it to age 256 before I had to try to death ray ;) I was able to basically spam every type of item on the floor though, maybe you could have added a cost or a cooldown so the player would need to think a bit when to use which item or action.
Nice game, I wasn't able to get the vaccine to work though!
Why does he want to eat his poop so badly?! You know what, that's not totally unrealistic for some dogs I've had...
Could use some mechanics tweaking and some audio, but other than that it's really fun to watch your turto grow!
Holy moly, that was a bit much to deal with :D That guy was eating his feces as soon as they hit the ground. I found it really hard to check all the numbers and simultaneously go through the menus and find the right functions. I think the UI needs a good old remodelling to actually work with the needs of the player to keep things going. When you have to fight with the UI, it takes away from the enjoyment from the actual game play. Some better feedback, what tool is currently selected etc would be nice too. Maybe have the item be the mouse cursor or something. It felt kinda strange just clicking the turtle and vaccinating it with an invisible needle.
The art was adequate but I really missed some sound effects. Those tamagotchi games really benefit a lot from cute sound effects to help bond with the little critter.
Still, I liked the complexity of variables you introduced, but things went to hell too fast. Especially in the beginning, it was hard to juggle everything without knowing, what was doing what.
Hey nice game! It was really hard though, which isn't bad for some games, but for this style of game a more casual difficulty fits better. there was a lot of things I couldn't figure out how to fix. hunger and sickness was easy but the vaccine didn't seem to work and whenever it said unhealthy or unhappy there was nothing that seemed to fix either of those. It would be beneficial to make it a lot more clear when what you are doing is working. for example when the turtle gets successfully vaccinated you get a pop up that says so. or when you make the turtle happier theres a little +1 Happiness thing that goes over its head. It was really fun to play though. I like that you chose a turtles for your pet ;)
That's nice little pet game. I like how you did the animations. Is it webgl?
Mine lived for 554 years of sadness and poo all around him. Loved the game. It took me a couple of pet deaths to realize that you are supposed to put the food around him by clicking.
