Wow what a cute game! Really good style for the compo!

Tho I think I am unable to buy glue...

Super cute and impressive work. I just don't really understand what each item does or how to do better/worse if that makes sense.

The care and feeding of these pets is both relaxing and cute! Love the quality of the pixel art. Very well done.

I love the sprites, the creatures are so cool and cute! I agree with richjbaron though, I didn't really understand what the items did or what made them different from each other.

Very cute game and artstyle! This is a cool idle game that's makes great use of the theme, and the art looks phenomenal! Well done!

Not a very intuitive game, but still quite interesting.

Took a bit of playing around to get the idea of what my little critters wanted but really cute idea! Really enjoyed transforming them into their other forms!

Desk object theme is really unique and suits the genre. Love the graphics and I think the gameplay loop has a lot of potential.

Very cute, and nice art, would like to see more challenges added

This game is super cute! It was fun pushing this game to its limits. I either got it to crash or triggered some infinite loop, so I guess that means I win!Screenshot 2024-10-08 225238.png

This was a really cute game! I loved the art style and how the different pets would morph into larger versions of themselves! There definitely were some weird overlapping collision issues once you got a lot of pets on the board, and there could've been some further indication of what some of the less immediately obvious items would be useful for, but it was a fun, quick game to mess around with!

I didn't really understand what to do at first but once the eggs started popping and the creatures started leaving coins, I loved watching as they grew into the bigger versions of themselves! The tiny tapes to the bigger tape, great creature designs. Some sound effects could've made it even better (such as coin blips) or other things, but this is definitely a game you could leave running while... "working". I also really wanted the other objects in the scene to be clickable, like expanding the to-do note or the play w/pet.

A very cute and relaxing game. It was interesting to watch the processes, the very pleasant graphics make the game even more calm and inviting.

I liked the visuals, but it feels like the gameplay runs out a bit too soon. The game sort of pushes you towards growing as many pets as possible, but nothing changes when you do and the framerate doesn't withstand it for long.

Also: needs sound! Basic video game bleeps and boops are super easy to generate with online tools, and it would have made the game feel a lot more finished with not much effort.

Art was sooooo cute. Wish there was audio though

Very cute game and lovely pixel art :) Can creatures die? I had a purple cat but it disappeared :'(

Super cute! I want a way to pet them or a ball to throw around or a toy fish for them to catch!

maximeg 2024-10-19 12:56

waw pretty impressive, I loved the design and diversity of each evolutions, good job!

m2tias 2024-10-20 20:37

I want office pets and I really need a "cope" button on my work laptop too! Nice and wholesome chill game. Nice experience :)

Cute and fun! Absolutely incredible for the first game you've programmed. And absolutely gorgeous, oh my goodness. All of these designs are so charming, it makes me want a whole animal/office supply based pokemon-type game!

zirrrus 2024-10-24 10:22

Super cute art! It was pretty fun, feeding them for a while... watching them wobble around :)

matchaberi 2024-10-25 20:18

Love it! With more pet types and some ambient audio it would rock!!
