A tamagotchi like game, use the up right and left arrow keys to play. Once you die you cannot respawn- try to figure our how to keep your pet alive as long as you can.

I cleaned the poo! Cool little game there. Nice work.

Loved the sound effects and the distortion that happened. I didn't get what the Up and Left did.

I made him die :( just like any other tamagotchi I ever had!

Agh, this is so cute. I kind of fumbled my way through for a while and got to age 12, but I got the impression it would have just gone on forever. I want to find my old tamagotchi now...

It does go on forever! Its just a simplified version of a tamagotchi, half the fun is figuring out how to keep it alive (i never bothered to read the directions on mine when I was a kid)

i remember the handheld jammies that would beep in your pocket. cool stuff!

Neat little tamagotchi-like game. :) Was frustrating at first but felt great to figure out how to keep it alive. Nice work!

I have no idea what I am doing, still having fun \o/

Nice job! This really took me back to the DigiPet days! If I 'accidentally' mistreated it, the background would flash red. It looked like maybe there was supposed to be some text, but it flashed by so quickly I couldn't read it.

Nice! Hope someone was taking better care of you during your flu than I did of my ++pet. Also I hope no one kills you just to find out how old you are. (It was 21. :( )

Nice fun game. Took a little bit to figure out. Was cute too. Nice job!

Nice simple game with good looking graphics and audio. Not very playable for more than 30 seconds though :)
AestheticGamer30 Apr 2013, 15:36
Good work for going under flu. I liked the touch of it suffering when you weren't treating it right. I am happy cleaning poop was so efficient and easy.
CMaster30 Apr 2013, 16:52
That certainly manages minimalist.

Very cute, I'm not sure I entirely figured out what the buttons do, aside from right, but I kept it alive to 13 D:

I hope you're feeling better. I think I figured everything out. I eventually just offed my little guy because I didn't feel like literally putting up with it's crap anymore. Overall, I enjoyed the game; I just with it were more fleshed out so I could have enjoyed it even longer.

Played 'till it got around 50+ years and it still didn't get a job, when can I pre-order the DLC with said feature? (bretty cool game btw)
