Lovely Game :smile: I like how you used the theme! but, I'd love more clarity about the controls on every screen. other than that Good job ;D

Oh my goodness this is awesome! Almost 3 games in 1! Love the music and humor! The water pipe puzzle kept messing me up. Otherwise, really good stuff!

Very fun and also difficult, he seems to always want a short haired alien with two eyes lol.

Music = GREAT humor = ON POINT I'll confess I didn't get too far in simply because it was very difficult.

Music/sound and humour and great, very creative and fun. A little too hard for me

This is a great use of balancing plates with the different minigames! I like how automatic the food game is to check on it less often, the face picker is a bit hard to tell what is correct but I do like how it takes more time to play it. Having the water game be practically the main game to play with it having no automation is a great touch to me, it means there is always something to do even if the bars get filled, though I can only last about 100 seconds. Having the chinga say something silly when checking the bars is both good comedic relief and a good distraction to waste time. I would prefer to have the arrow keys mapped to WASD as well, but that is a minor nitpick. The different minigames have somewhat different visual styles than the main creature itself. It is fine but it sticks out a bit. Good jokes all around, great work!

@matthew-bond What can I say, he's got a type.

I love it ! The graphics are very cool too ^^ That's very fun we have to get very fast !! I love the way that there is no "game over" but "you survived x time"

Waouh very good tamagotchi-like ! Graphics are good, cartoon style and color are perfect, sound effect and music are also very good for this kind of game. And the mini games are interessing. This game have very good vibe on it ! Great work !

Some kind of confirmation / feedback when completing a minigame would have been good to have, as it was hard to tell if you did the right thing, especially in the face picker game. Otherwise it was a very good game!

Fun mini-games, would have like to be able to see the bars going down at all times, not just on the alien page

This might be my favorite ludum dare entry of all time. Absolutely hilarious, and fit the theme amazingly. The art for the Chinga is just too good!

One suggestion I have is it would have been nice to have the three meters on screen at all time, so I don't have to flip back and forth quickly.

Overall though, absolutely fantastic. I think your team is going to crush it this game jam. Congrats!

(Congrats on the high score in my game, sorry I couldn't get to you during the stream!)

This is fun! I haven't beaten your score yet, unsure if I will at this rate x) The minigame combination is nice, each one is easy enough to understand. I think the game could benefit from some UX improvements: showing the meters at all times (like @zoarfy suggests) to know what to prioritise, just flashing the button red is not clear enough; sounds for succeeding or failing tasks, in particular with the caretaker I was not always sure I selected a good candidate; allowing keyboard-only controls (1 2 3 4 to select the screen, arrows and spacebar for example). The idea of a repulsive, offensive alien to take care of is neat, pity there was not much time to actually see what it says due to having to be in the minigame sections at all times.

Neat game! Odd pieces of dialogue, but they are a space creature so I suppose it's fine. Akin to real people, the creature dies when receiving insufficient attention. Nice minigames, but it was unclear when the water one was solved, I find. In any case, good job.
