It did get quite repetitive after a while, but the concept kept me around playing longer than I expected. I liked that I actually was somewhat fearful of the creature after it transformed for the first time. It made me wonder what would happen if I didn't love it... would it eat us? Not knowing encouraged me to keep it very satisfied haha.
I also noticed how as it kept transforming the food and water drained pretty quick, nice touch to allow the gameplay difficulty to increase over time.
I ended up quitting after two or three transformations? Things started to look bad after the supplies were running low and I was getting a bit drained from the repetition.
Pretty neat! It was unclear at first, but I figured it out...I would have liked some instructions, though. The graphics are cute, the sound is nice. After a while I wasn't sure what the point was, though. I mean, my HOB changed shape twice, so...that's good, I guess? I just wondering if anything else ultimately happens.
Incidentally, I would really like some indication of how much wood is left in the fire, so I know when to get more. I mean, I can see it become smaller, but maybe you can add a "wood meter" or something...
I found the mood pretty cool. The sound was great and i love the color of the backgroud.
My main concern is that there is not a lot of gameplay. And it's repetetive. I'm not even sur it's possible to finish this game.
My advice for next time : Try to let the player do more by himself.
