It´s an ok tamagotchi-like thing, pretty easy though. I like the music.

Nice little game, I like the concept of the cameras, but I'm wondering if they have any impact on gameplay? It would be nice if you had limited knowledge on what's going on and needed to use these cameras for that purpose.

The music is nice (a bit loud) and the SFX add to the cuteness of the graphics.

Keep making games!

P.S.: you can use itch.io to upload your game. It will give you visibility and and more control. Also doesn't delete your files down the road.

Very cute, I like the panda animations. It could probably be a bit more fun if the player had some more agency and interaction with the panda.

nice little game, maybe a bit easy, maybe you could have incorporated random events, like I don't know, a bird flying by, drinking the water, forcing the user to refill or a friendly giant panda coming by increasing the fun stat

With no restriction on whe you can refill or fix things you can just do it immediately after they use the thing. This kinda results in no challenge and a frantic looking panda. Nice music, and the idea of a more visually rich tamagotchi vibe is a good direction.

The minimap concept with the different camera angles is very easy to understand and I really liked watching that cute little panda furball. As there is no cost for refilling/repairing there is no real difficulty but its still a nice tamagochi-like simulation :slight_smile:

Aww, your game is so sweet. I love red pandas! In your game, I could feel like a zookeeper and it was great (especially possibility to see game from different cameras). Your character is cute and I enjoyed its animation! :)

Nice entry! The graphics are cute and I like the panda sound. The idea for the screens is super cool but I think you ended up getting too much unused space on screen. Nice job!

I like the camera concept too. The game is simple, it's fun in the beginning, but it would be better to add more challenging thing.

I like the concept and the thing with the monitors and the cameras was really clever.

The gameplay in my opinion is too repetitive: fill water, fill food while red panda drinks, repair piano while red panda eats, fill water while red panda plays piano and repeat from step 2, each cile even faster.

I suggest to spyce things up: add variety of food, drinks and toys from the panda, add more scenario, and let the player change them every now and then, add some minigames, etc. (btw I got a LOT of inspiration from Nintendogs: I used to play it very young and i like it. Maybe that's why I'm very critical judging on this game)

However, for a game jam, this is not bad, indeed it is very good. I hope you will continue to work on it after the jam...

A panda playing the piano? Nice.

No, wait, a panda __wrecking__ the piano ^^: you have to repair it each time he "plays" : )

A bit repetitive, I think too, so the fun is reather quickly to try to make him die, what is a bit conter productive : ) (but fun, poor Bibou).

A little disobedient is he but I suppose I cannot blame him. Hope you can add more variety into the routine and maybe really make the disobedience a feature like a rebellious attitude as is demanding more what it wants or something like that :)

I liked the style

amdmaster 2020-04-26 20:25

Nice little game to keep the panda safe...

anagf 2020-05-03 00:22

It's a bit easy but I like the idea of looking after a red panda, specially using cameras. It was a cute game.

ovid 2020-05-06 10:25

I liked the idea! It reminds me of FNAF but in a cute way. The graphics are cool. The music is very well. But, one problem is that the game is a bit repetitive, and I'd like to see more challenges for the game.

Ahhh, Bibou is adorable! I thought it was really neat they way the game was set up with the tv monitor and different camera angles. Very unique.

yy404 2020-05-11 21:38

The views are super innovative! So surprised that the unrealistic graphics can show us a real Bibou!
