Nice animations on all the elements. Even though the art looks unfinished, the animations make everything fit together. The minigame looked a bit cluttered to me though. Also I liked your choice of music! All together makes a comical fun time. Nice work!

Feel free to hop into my game as well and share your thoughts and ratings if you have the time!

I hate reading so took me a few tries to realize that I was also controlling the minigame! I really enjoyed that, the multitasking became frantic after losing a few times to the timer!

I loved all of gamer's facical expressions during the game. The gamer's reactions even made losing lots of fun too. I had lots of fun playing this game :)

Such a fun idea! I love the comedic tone (my favorite part about it is how the face on the hunger meter also looks shocked when you lose in the game). The idea of balancing two games is great, although I will say it could probably be even more chaotic if the feeding section had more to it than dragging food really quick every now and again. It was a good choice to use two art styles for the different sections and the art for a platformer looked very solid.

Enjoyed it a lot, best of luck. :)

Thanks! I did reuse the art for the minigames from a previous project of mine (the rest was all done during the jam period) and I wished I could've added more to the eating, like a thought bubble going "i want this food".  :D

Submitted

Yeah that would've been cool! I guess I'll just keep an eye out if there's ever an update (no pressure lol)

I'm going to say "I'll do it" but don't underestimate my ability to procrastinate-- you can probably expect the  update around 2030-2050 on the optimistic side! I wanted to add a bad dating minigame aswell. It's a definite to-do for after the jam finishes! :D

Submitted(+1)

Trust me, I get it, I'm a total procrastinator, too. But hey, there's no rush! A bad dating minigame would be funny to add in a game like this. :)

A perfect simulation of a lazy sunday of procrastination.
Having to multitask on different games with each hand is a fun idea ! The feeding mechanic feels like it could be more developed though.  

Developer(+1)

I had tried to keep both quite simple so as to not overwork your brain, but I do agree it is too simple. The feeding becomes muscle memory after a while. :D

Submitted(+1)

Hard to pay attention to both at the same time! Safe to say you kept the gamer (me) happy.

Developer

Yeah, it is not exactly the best design. But it'sa good enough! :D thanks!

Great use of humor and honestly the art had a really nice aesthetic to it as well! The game was legitimately fun as well and a good challenge! You did really well to follow the theme but also create a unique and cool game. Great job :)
