Hi Claire, this is a really polished game! I like all the animation and aesthetics. I feel like this is what a pet game will be like including feeding, stroking and triggering conversation. For me, this is a typical virtual pet game with cute pixel arts and animations. I love the theme as well. As for critique, I really don't have so much to suggest, but I would only suggest that adding some sounds when triggering conversations and animations. Great work! (Sorry for late comments)
