Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Very cute, and I loved getting pets and well done on the mechanics. Players might back out if there is too much backtracking for items. Appreciated the checkpoints, nicely done
  • Very fun! spreading the love is on theme, but not doing too much with it mechanically, excellent little stealth game! no bugs whatsoever on my end. I quite enjoyed it, you should definitely elaborate on this with more obstacles and item types. maybe a little metal gear cardboard box for the pets, that'd be cute!

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
When dungeon creatures get too old they are sent to the Retirement Dungeon to enjoy the rest of their days. But there is no enjoyment now that the new owner has banned all pets from the premises.

You play as either a cat, dog, or ferret and must sneak in to spread love and joy to the residents without getting caught by the guards or security cameras. And don't forget to collect some treats for yourself as well. Good luck and stay out of sight!

Gameplay is a stealth action game with checkpoints at every resident so there is not to much backtracking after a mistake.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Lots of fun! Oddly Cozy I like it.

Submitted

Awesome. And with ferrets too. Thumbs up!

Incredible game, 5 really well thought out levels, though the guards suddenly moving was slightly annoying sometimes but that's the only thing that caught me. Having the residents as checkpoints was such a good idea, and everything from the music to the sound effects to the art work perfectly together. Also bonus points for the cuteness.

great game. Simple but cozy and fun. Fun music. Much Love

Cute and cozy atmosphere! I loved the gameplay, but once I opened the vent and gave the last item to the NPC in the first level I thought I softlocked myself, it took me some hefty minutes to realizes that I needed to go back to the original vent where I came from to end the level. A tutorial text explaining that once you do all the tasks just head back to spawnpoint would be appreciated! Nonetheless the presentation and gameplay was very fun!

Too cute!! ❤ Great job!

  • Loved the how the doors open, felt very polished
  • Pets look lovely
  • Checkpoint system on last person you make happy again felt very polished, nice
  • When completing the level I didnt get an end screen or something to move to the next level. Had to restart to try out the other levels

Wonderful and cute game! Can definitely imagine how this game could get bigger

This was so cute game!

This looks great and has some cool mechanics.

Loved the concept while you were making it and it came out so great. One tiny bug you could fix post jam is when you exit out of a level, and then try to replay it your character never spawns in. But it wasn't too big a deal because I could refresh page. A lot of the puzzle mechanic was really well done, had me strategizing where to go. I really liked the art and way you incorporated the theme. I picked the ferret by the way. So cute! 

Submitted

I enjoyed this one! The only thing I would change is to add a turn around animation for the vision so that the player has a little time to react to which way the guards are swinging.

This is a really cute, cozy RPG retirement home game.

I watched some dev on your stream, was nice to give the game a play! Great concept, love the pixel art, and solid game loop. Ran into a few bugs but I'll be amazed if any of the entries are completely bug-free.

Submitted

The goblins are going to love the ferret added to the game.

While playing I jotted down some notes:

  • I got stuck, unable to complete level 1, even though I got sad residents:0 and treats collected to be 8
  • I noticed the camera detection doesn't go all the way, and you can skirt the edge sometimes of the red area
  • Enemies detection goes through the wall
  • I would have loved to see more levels
  • Items to possibly stun the watchers
  • Timed levels to apply a bit of pressure

Really cute art and looking forward to the game being expanded.

Really good feel good cozy game. 9/10

Submitted

Art style is awesome! Movement feels a little floaty and I would love to have some volume sliders since the music was a bit loud for me. Wanted to leave some feedback in case you plan to do updates. Great work 🙂

Submitted

THE SPRITES ARE SO CUUUUTE!! LOVE IT

Submitted

Very fun, well made & super polished !
As usual :)
Great work !

Submitted

Super cute. If possible you should definitely make this a full game! Love the concept

Really cool game, feels super polished, down to the easing in and out of player movement. Only played 1 level (so far) but excited to play the rest. Love spreading love!
