Cute game! The music is really peaceful. Also I felt like the hand was a little slow to follow your mouse but it wasnt too bad

Our musician loves that you enjoyed the music!

With our approach to the hand movement, we aimed to sell the scale of the player. Just as a colossus is sluggish when compared to a human, we are sluggish when compared to a mouse. 

Thanks for playing!

I couldn't figure out how to give a bath;; It's a very adorable game! I especially love the design of the starting screen.

Very unique idea - haven't played a tamagotchi game in probably 20 years? The accidents that can happen with the hammer are pure comedy! Would love to see more gameplay!

Cure game, I enjoyed doing the tasks for the pet and the visuals look really nice, although there were a few accidents with the big hammer. Well done on the game!
