Under the Vinegar

by dailydo
You've got to take care of a PICKLE in this "tamagotchi-like" game.
Will it be the happiest pickle ever, or will its life be a living hell?
You decide.

Click on the items to use them on your pickle. Each one of them has a specific effect.

The game is clearly unfinished and unbalanced, because we planned to produce a lot more features we didn't have the time to integrate. Feedbacks, sounds, and sadly the night cycle are missing making the game unfunctional.
Better luck next time.

Updated versions of the games will be released on our websites.

A pickle Tamagotchi :) Graphics are stunning. Couldn't activate the sleep, so only Day 1 for me, but good result for a jam!

Art is great, but couldn't get it to sleep either. Maybe in a post-jam version?

Even though it's incomplete and you can't do much yet, this proof of concept made me smile. Raising your pet pickle to compete in some kind of competition--should the game move in the direction that the stat bars seem to suggest--crosses the tamagotchi and "state fair" genres of game admirably and shows the interesting conflict between pet and display object off well. You know, like a brine-soaked sort of Monster Rancher.

Your visuals are very nice, with a certain old-timey charm, and this was a very unique take on the theme. Good luck with your post-compo update!

I would have loved to see more about the life of my tiny pickle. The style is just adorable.

Really cool Graphics. The music is also cool, but soon too repetitive. I played until I should get sleep, but it seems this is not implemented or does not work.
Good Work!
