peaveyj: In order for to something to happen you have to exercise AND eat every day. You'll notice the change in 2 days or so. And no, I don't use flashpunk. I know that frameworks are very cool and easy to work with and are just created for such short-term competitions like LD but I'm not a bit fan of them. The game is written in pure as3.
You're the first one I see that actually made a "Tiny world" themed game. Also your game made me pretty sad for a moment, really... people should think twice before getting pets.
Pretty solid idea but I had to reads comments here to know what to do, I didn't understand how to eat. So I'll say, good graphics, music, idea, but a bit too short as a game. Good work anyway.
Haha, that was sweet and fun. I did look at the comments beforehand so I knew what to do, but I thought it was pretty well implemented, and it fits the theme really well. Good job!
I figured it out and saved Hank, but it took faith. There was a little feedback with the exercising when it says "I feel strong!" and "So close!", but there was no indication that the food or sleep did anything. I guessed that I needed to sleep between, and eat before exercising based on the initial dialogue. With that said, the mood was great and I like what you did with such a limited set of pixels - minimalist-chic. It was pretty polished. You chose your scope well.
I liked the mood a lot and was really looking forward to what happens next while playing. But i was a bit disappointed by the rather bland ending after 3 days of doing the same without anything really happening. Some twist after a few days would have turned it into a better experience.

Great experience. The intro was a bit long, I tried to skip the dialogs with the spacebar and kept falling asleedp, that was weird ^^
Great concept and music.
Had the same issue with the intro as Pierrec...
It was short, but really cool. Congrats.
