Really nice animation style - love the retro feel! Movement felt a bit clunky but otherwise great stuff.

Ahah really nice entry, just one thing not relative to the game, the LD presentation is spoiling too much I think. It could be cool to discover the purpose ingame.

I like the story this game tells, its a real good reason why you want to keep it alive and love it :) Does the game has an end? For me it felt like there is something preventing me from jumping from day 25 or so xD But I just played twice. Good entry!

Hahaha, I'm loving the next gen of tamagochis. It was short but sweet. Even after the tiger was chomping at me, I couldn't help but keep petting the lil' cat.

As feedback, I would encourage you to continue working on this. Maybe you could structure it with levels, each one having a different apex predator.

ohhh pico8! :-) OMG 12 days! This was intense fun! Good job! loved it.

I was really surprised when it turned into a Tiger. I genuinely had a good laugh, thanks :smiley: Very fun, great job !

I see a lot of people using this Pico-8 platform, and now i want to try it !

Nice ! It starts as a classic 'Tamagotchi' and then it become way harder :smile:, Thanks !

I was really funny. I expecting something more but hey for a game made in 48 hours it is pretty good !

It gave me quite a scare when my cute lil' kitty grew into a tiger after eating a little food - and, once I was over my first encounter with the tiger (it didn't go well), I really appreciated the little details like the larger droppings in the litter and the tiger sleeping on the couch. It was a bit tricky to time the jumps at first (I was trying to take a running start, which usually meant I just ran into my pet), but comfortable enough once I got the hang of it (until my tiger got angry and decided to eat me :( ). Definitely a short and enjoyable experience for me!

I really like the art and I'm now convinced that i never want a tiger :)

I did not expect that, I stay shock for a second without knowing what to do and expect next. But I last 13 days with is enough stress for one person with a little cat in the room.

I think it's a little bug but when your dead yo can still make some sport by pressing the action button.

For such a short game, I had a surprising amount of fun. The controls and gameplay were intuitive, and the music kept the tension up the entire time. The ending cracked me up =) Most of the games I've played here have not had definite endings, so it was really refreshing to see a small but polished game I could play from start to finish. Great job!

Aww it's a cute little kitty~ I'm gonna take care of it, pet it and make it so nice and str- OH FRICK I'M TAKING CARE OF A TIGER. WHY AM I TAKING CARE OF A TIGER?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This is a very small yet polished game! Someone like me usually gives proper feedback about certain points I have trouble with but other than having more places to avoid the tiger, this is actually pretty solid!

Short and to the point! This is a very good entry. Applauses for you as you did a job well done~! This could be made into a more full game but as it stands, it's alright to be this short, too.

Really good idea !

Really sweet fun little game, reminds me of The Tiger Who Came to Tea! Nicely polished, love the art, more places to avoid the tiger would be great. I want a pet tiger.

Bonus points for humour, loved the way the gameplay changes up a notch from what you think is going to be. I couldn't get past day 15-17 .

Great game, funny and challenging :)

Fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/p2lUl96x8_U
