Nice! I really enjoy the design of the chupacabra and the dialogue system. It reminds me of banjo kazooie with the talking head and noises. :)

thank you!

Really neat concept, but i do not think it is very playable at this state, had some issues with the UI. It is very charming though!

Developer

a lot of people have said the same thing, what exactly were the issues with the ui? was it something breaking or just me not explaining what to do well enough?

Good start, but I find it hard to play. I included it in my Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)

The concept behind this one is really cool and it seems like you have big plans for the future of this project! Unfortunately I ran into quite a few UI issues that eventually made the game unplayable.

Music was a super nice touch and I like the direction this is going!

Developer

ty! also, by any chance what were the ui issues? was it a glitch or just something that wasn't explained well enough?

I really love the vision behind this one! Raising a band of chupacabras to hunt and forage and have babies is a pretty sweet concept. I think this was an ambitious project and I applaud you for it. Unfortunately I had some problems with the user interface which hindered the experience, such as menus popping up over each other and inconsistent feedback when clicking on things. I think highlighting things you can click on when you mouse over them would be a big help. Also, changing the way you assign your guys to missions would make it a little less confusing. I ended up having to type in random numbers until the mission eventually started...I'm still not exactly sure what I was supposed to do there. I would like to see you improve on what you got done during the jam, I really think this has potential!

Developer

hm, I never had any issues with the ui aside from the foraging screen, but I'll see what I can do. I wish I could do something different for assigning missions, but it was really hard to do and I kept having issues when I tried to make it simpler. (to start the mission, you have to type 'start').

stuck at 0%  too :(

that's odd. I thought it was just my iPad being stupid.

update: fixed it, probably something wrong with the html file grgr

looks cool. I could buy chupacabras, but I couldn't send them out on a hunting party, there was nothing in the eligible column and the send button didn't show

Developer

you have to type 'start' into the box to set a hunting/foraging party. trust me, I tried more convenient things but they didn't work (it broke).

I can't get it to work/load :<

Developer

just fixed it. it should work now.

Submitted

I tried all my browsers, but it was stuck at 0% on the load screen for me on each of them.

Developer

sorry about that. it should work now.

For me, it is stuck at loading?
