Yay, you got a new electronic pet! But.. this one seems kinda weird =/ Seems like he'll need your help to get his food. But be patient, he's really absent-minded so you'll lose him easily when guiding him through the levels!
Gameplay notes: - You will shoot in the opposite direction of your last move. Hold your left mouse button to lock the direction. - Tama will follow you if he sees you and you're close enough (but not too close). However, he'll still prefer the candy to you :P - Tama poops sometime. Don't worry, you don't have to clean up. Hell, maybe this could even become useful?!
- "Soo this is the story of a ninja's electronic pet too dumb to fetch his food, so the ninja has to go inside the tamagotchi and shoot shurikens at skull monsters while guiding the dumb pooping pet to candies." - "Uhhh ok. Are you sure you took your medicine?"
Sorry for the music/sfx, I was too tired for that. Instructions are available ingame. Made with Haxe+OpenFL
@FerraWare : he is already using it. I just made it dumb in purpose :P He can only follow you when he sees you, you're not too far and you're not too close (that one is to allow you to move without him getting in the way too much).

As I thought, you did this game very well. I love little Tama :D i have a little time to understand how choose the directions of shurikens, but Pulsar help me :D jut one question, you have design yourself the character ?
Yep, I have drawn everything in this game ;) I needed easy-to-draw head-only characters :P
The shooting style is indeed borrowed from Pulsar, which was from Death vs Monstars. The latter is great to know more about how this works (with the visible target).
Really cute design, polished UI, as a designer I really like the visuals you did. Everyone loves tamagotchis and I think this is a really nice effort in two days!
Cute game! I like the throwback to the tamagotchi and using that for the theme. It was pretty funny when the tama was scared and it pooped! The use of the guide throwing the ninja stars to help protect tama from enemies is a really cool mechanic. Well done!

If he is still hungry, I have pixelated wheat.

Thanks to you all for playing & for your comments :)
i'd prefer to be a knight who wants to save his princess instead of a ninja (wtf) with a pet. Maybe it's because i'm an old player...
Ahah yeah :D
The little story behind the ninja in one word: graphics. That was wayyyyy easier to draw than anything else I could come up with :D
As for the throwing mechanism, it's borrowed from Death vs Monstars (thanks Benjamin for the hint) ;)
Also nicely balanced. Had hard time and did not pass all levels.
As for theme use. Found it slightly cheesy
