It took me about 10 minutes to finish the game, which is a comfortable playtime for me. The game left a very positive impression on me! The hand-drawn graphics are pleasant, and the music really sets the mood. I'm not very good at English, but it seems like your game makes learning it quite convenient! There's humor in the game, although it might not perfectly match the overall atmosphere. Still, it made me smile a couple of times :)
**Thanks to the entire development team; you've made a wonderful game! Good luck, and may the best one win!**

Awww, shucks, that was so sad! I was grinning throughout the game with the silly voice acting and the ducky mafia, so I really didn't expect that ending. 😄 The poor dachshund... I’m so glad we fixed him. He was such a gentleman.
I really enjoyed it! Great job!

Those doors give me old resident evil or silent hill vibes. A little easy puzzles but the athmosphere definitely kept me hooked!
bro the ending.... the walk sound got a little annoying after some time since the game is mostly a walking simulator. much fun 5 :star2:

Wow, the ending was truly something! The mood kinda hinted at something like that but I still didn't see it coming. :grin: Overall this was a very solid narrative experience. Cute graphics and great audio.
It's an awesome game. Sound, graphics and overall idea is just a chef's kiss. Short but touching. That's what I looked for in games like this one. Really good job!!
Awesome game. The story telling hit me right into my feelings with that ending
Wow! I really liked this game! Sound, art, characters, there is even a full-fledged little plot. The ending is sad, but appropriate. And yes, the game is creepy cute, without spooks, and I liked that.

Nice game,very interesting plot!!!!Nice job!!!!
The state of the house and the toys in combination with the music hinted at there being something more going on. The unsettling atmosphere created by the music made think about it being something horror-related tbh and the whole time I was sitting there thinking "is this a horror game?" but then the twist happens and it hit me right in the feels 😭😭😭
Well done!
Nooooo, seeing the decay around the house got me worried, and wondering, but I still wasn't prepared for the ending to be *that* grim, I just thought the family would've moved and left the toys behind or something. :( Makes me wonder why it took so long for the toys to start looking for them if they were alive the whole time, since the house must've been empty for a while…
Very good atmosphere and nice suspense. Scary! But also funny with some of the dialogue and characters. Very linear, but nothing wrong with that if intentional. Allows you tell a story, and you sure did. :) Those poor tiny creatures. The ball of yarn freaked me out because the colours you'd chosen made me think it was some mess of flesh and bone, and I was quite relieved to learn that the dog was a plushie and not a real one!
Music helps a lot in setting that mood, as does the gloomy art. There was some inconsistency in resolution between different assets, but I know that easily happens in a jam with little time to plan, I've done it too.
Overall great job!
(PS. you labelled the game as *Tiny Tale* here but as *Tiny Tail* on itch.io)

Like the little individual stories of the toys that you encounter overtime during the game. I really appreciated the graphics and the effort that went into creating all the different environments and toys. Overall likes the maze section the most and wished some of the other toys had mini-game like quests rather than a walk here pickup object type quests. :thumbsup:
