How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
(Spoilers for the game)

In this game, all seems to be a regular pet simulator. However, as you level up your pet, you slowly realize everything is off. Your pet is oddly bean-shaped. Its name is a pun on bean. The shopkeeper only sells beans.

Soon, all falls apart as you uncover the truth: everything was always bean. Your pet, the shopkeeper, even you. You appease the bean gods by sacrificing all beans by throwing them down and watching them fall into the well. Soon, you have nothing left to sacrifice, and you must throw yourself into the well as a sacrifice.

I took a different approach on the theme of "falling", centering my game around a cute facade that eventually will "fall away" as everything you thought you knew "falls apart".

Hi, excellent and a little gloomy the game. I think the gameplay, graphics and the theme use were creative and good. The music was not to my liking. But nice work!

Thank you for your comment, the feedback is much appreciated. It was my first time making any type of music track, I wasn't quite sure what would work or not, I was quite doubtful of the background track myself.

Hi. It is very admirable that you create the music. I did not say that the music was wrong, just It is not to my liking. Good job anyways!

My poor lil kitty. Also, does it matter what you try to name your pet? I tried to name mine "beanie" and it didn't let me. But anyway, I like games like this that devolve and become a bit meta as you go. I was a bit confused at first because it kept telling me to seek the truth but I couldn't find anything to do, but then I finally got there. :) Good work!

Thank you for your comment and for the feedback! Sorry for the confusion, it doesn't matter what you name your pet. I was planning on adding a feature where the name is only accepted when it includes "bean", but forgot to implement it in the final project.
