Hey! I played through and had some fun. Interesting idea!

I liked the idea of having to manage hunger, thirst, and happiness for your pup - all are definitely necessary. I wish that picking items up was easier, though admittedly I didn't use the scroll feature.

I did find that once I got the core loop down I was in a stalemate pretty quick. Perhaps if the dogs health regenerated so long as all its needs were met, and the dog grew (needed more of each need) over time, it would help.

Cheers!

The control/robot movement are little hard. **The fact that the dog brings me the ball was amazing :smile:** but I didn't understand how can I pass the first minute (all my game end to the 51th seconds).

Seems like I couldn't actually throw the ball. It just gets set on floor. Was there something I didn't understand? I saw the controls.

This is an interesting approach to a virtual pet game, it reminds me of The Sims in many ways. It took me a minute to figure out what to do, maybe I should've read the instructions first :smile: I like that you took the time to include path finding. Good job on this compo game!

Nice little game, I think the dog should prioritize drinking rather than die of thirst while chewing furniture!

Neat game! Something about the controls felt a bit stiff, but overall really nice! :) Good work! Some sound would be good, though!

A bit unfinished but I was able to feed and give water to the dog and survived 89 seconds, then he decided to keep walking to a wall, I assume he had a vision of something even greater

The game remembered me a bit about The Sims. Great mechanic that the dog follows you with the ball!

This is a really fun game!! takes time to learn but once you get the hang of it it's enjoyable, maybe allow keyboard controls? I just found mouse controlling hard but right now it's great as it is!!!

Nice pathfinding! It's a small detail but I really did appreciate how your character automatically moved around corners. Cool game!

I love the little doggie, you should be able to name him/her when the game begins and then, when the dog dies, it says " died"
