Love the animations. Music is chill, sounds fit well. Simple graphics with a nice colour scheme.

Very good overall.

Nice graphic style makes me miss playing an old game called monster rancher!

Great! Pro strat is to bathe them as they sleep :)

Great music, great mechanics, I love it! Very cute little guy to take care of. Well done :v:

I wasn't exactly sure what to do so i just fed him loads of carrots, very nice art style.

Pretty good, love sounds and music. And some point i feel like there were some bugs - he stopped moving at 90 weight and nothing happend, i tryied to throw ball near him. And not sure if it should be pottible to wash him while he is in bed)

webox 2020-04-20 12:48

Woah this is a really impressive game for a compo!! Great art and execution. Of course I fed him a thousand carrots too haha. Great job!

PS: You forgot to put the LDJAM link in the itch.io game page!

Well made tamagotchi game - fits the theme nicely!

zondarg 2020-04-20 12:51

Simple but very cute tamagotchi-style game. With all the ingredients needed to keep the little buddy happy. :slight_smile: Art is fitting, music too. Nice work!

pronomicalartist 2020-04-20 12:53

@webox Thank you so much!

team-prosit 2020-04-20 13:02

I played a lot because the song was familiar. I think you took inspiration from "Without You" from Avicii, am I right? Anyway, great job!

kneehatgames 2020-04-20 13:03

I loved the music the most probably. The wash and pet button wasn't very intuitive since the other ones spawned something and it took me some time to figure out that I needed to tap on the character next. Overall I like the idea and I think it can be developed further :)

Good entry, I like how cohesive this game is: the art, music and gameplay all feed properly into the upbeat theme of keeping a pet alive. I was unable to get the ball to work as reliably as petting, even though the former looked like more fun to use. But even still, like a previous commenter said, great execution.

pronomicalartist 2020-04-20 13:19

@ghostonline Thank you for playing! He will only play with the ball if he is playful, he becomes more playful after eating or being pet. It also goes up over time when he has not been playing with the ball a while. Very thankful for the kind comments!

A Gold-Shitting Karmagotchi? I would like to have one of those :D. Beautiful Sound, Beautiful Game. I like your Interpretation of the Theme.

laralama 2020-04-20 17:38

Really cute. Loved the graphics, music and animation. But it wasn't that hard to keep it alive.

evolving 2020-04-20 17:52

Nice and cute game)Feels realy good)

cjgammon 2020-04-20 18:00

nice! this is so good, and fits the theme well. the music is top notch. the little animations make it so fun too and doesn't get boring given the nature of the game. well polished.

joskerdu 2020-04-20 19:51

Super cute. Love the tamagochi++ as a take on the theme. Amazing work for 48hrs.

corruptor2037 2020-04-21 06:32

Nice art and nicely implemented game Unfortunately, it's just not type of games that people want to play much these days

knason 2020-04-21 08:09

I did spend too much time taking care of my little friend, you just don't want to leave him/her. :-) good job! Nice graphic and the music adds great to the whole experience.

historymaker118 2020-04-21 09:41

I enjoyed this, cute graphics, really nice music, simple to use and understand interface, and a good concept that seems to work. It's a little disappointing that this doesn't try to do anything new with the virtual pet genre in terms of it's mechanics or setting, but it's a well executed game nonetheless.

my karmagotchi was a true multitasker: he was exercicing while eating a carrot and taking a poo at the same time. had me laughing for a while, nicely done

shaolin-dave 2020-04-21 21:13

overall the best-designed tamagotchi i've seen so far. i love that the character actually interacts with objects instead of only animations and stat manipulation. my only suggestions are having the buttons present all the time, no need to have them hidden in a sub-menu, and make the stats more clear. Not only were they small, but I didn't have any insight into what was bad/good. still a very cute game, good job!

jk5000 2020-04-22 18:38

The game idea is fun, and the visual style is super cute and friendly. The gameplay needs some polish, but is okay for jam game. Well done.

@shaolin-dave I'm going to be releasing a post Jam version with the stats more visibly showing what is good and bad. I've also polished up all the known bugs.

Watch out for 13/05/2020

shaolin-dave 2020-05-12 18:49

I'll definitely check it out, I love when people follow up with post-jam versions.
