So cute! The game is really wholesome, but with the giant guy peering in, it also feels a little eerie. a perfect mix xD
One of the best games this jam
The technicality of this game wows me! I love the vibe, but the blend of 2D and 3D perspectives is what impresses me. That tiny box of what the human sees vs what the pet sees is really cool. I can feel there's a lot of things going on in the background to make this work. Texts shown in the back wall, the decorated external room through the celled screen, the z-layering of objects in 2D matching it in 3D. The details make the world feel really immersive.
Personally, I think the main issue is the lack of direction. It's cool to just play as a pet, but it's not compelling enough for me.
I'd love to see this game delved deeper. More minigames, more progression, more story. I think this game would excel for storytelling, whether its horror or something heartwarming. But that's unrealistic for a 2 day jam, and I'm already impressed with this game even working as well as it does for such a complex concept.
This game really makes you feel like a Tamagotchi pet.
I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME!!!
I love how I can play as the tamagotchi character, and also see what the players see on the bottom left. This game is blew my mind, in terms of how innovative and the creativity behind it. The game feels very well polished, I love how the 3D aspect of the game feels, this is definitely the best tamagotchi-like game in this game jam!
This game is a definitely 3, 5, 5 for me! I really wish and want to give it a 5 but with the limitation of what generally tamagotchi is, I think it's really difficult to make it more fun than what it is. You can perhaps add more game mechanics to the game, but It will feel the same cause of the nature of tamagotchi. I indeed love the game mechanic of eating, the door opening, sleeping, and 2 the minigame of collecting the icons and jump rope, this really makes me feel like DAMN I am in a tamagotchi game.
This game is really one of a kind, and I would call this game, one of the hidden gems in this game jam. You really can't go wrong with this, I love the 3D Models, I love the world around it, I love the music, I even love the ending at the end. For 48 hours, this game is really insane and seriously blew my mind. I think the game can improve more by having a much more attractive thumbnail, gifs/screenshots of some of the minigame will be good. So that more and more players will know about this masterpiece and play this game!!! which I think more people should! Good job to the team!
Edit: the thumbnail, screenshots and gif doesn't represent well ENOUGH, you guys should definitely work on that. Other than that, I would love to see more from the team in the future. I am so stoked on the future games that this creative and talented team will make.
You can of course make the this game much more interesting by escaping and having some horror aspect into the game, but I quite like enjoy the cute, wholesome nature of the game.
The idea was pretty fun in the jam game and has so much potential in a full game, really hope you guys continue development after. Great job!
Very creative and unique!
Very well executed! Cool idea!
Really liked the idea, but what I think this game could evolve to be actually a horror game where you need to escape :P
many ideas we’re drafted that did not come to fruition (such as the goal being to escape lmao). glad you liked it!
Cute idea well executed. Brought back some classic tamagotchi nostalgia. Really enjoy the live update of the 2D screen. Especially love the window moving to reflect the screen transitions.
Interesting concept! I had an issue where my aim was constantly moving downwards, but in the end I managed to become #1 ;)
I would've liked to see the highscores in the different games to share, I kept jumping rope for quite some time!
When the letters started auto selecting, I was shocked! What a cool concept. I did have a bit of difficult with the "jump rope" game, however. I never touched it but it kept giving me the game over noise. The music fit the game very well!
The concept was extremely great. Loved the concept and it really played the theme of the jam, "reversal", well. The camera would jump quite a bit, which made playing the minigames very difficult. Getting to the final room is a hard task.
The idea is mind blowing. It's not me that is playing a game, it's someone using me for their entertainment. I don't have any objective, just an endless life of nothing. It was so creeepy seeing the "real" player outside of the window. Congrats!
Had a big MIND=BLOWN moment when I fully realized where I was and what was going on. Very fun, had a good laugh during the jumping rope minigame. Even pausing the game shows up on the Tamagotchi screen. One of my favorite entries so far. Big disappointment however that I could not see my jumping rope high score (it was worth bragging about) and not sure if I just didn't play it long enough, but I never got to see behind the other mysterious door.
so cute :)
This was really fun! One of the games was too difficult for me but I enjoyed being a little egg. :)
Had a good laugh realizing what was happening!
Really good idea, perfectly executed (and somewhat sinister)
