Great job on the graphics, audio, and staying on theme! Solid gameplay concepts, but seemed to drag on for too long. That said, I also made a Tamagotchi-style game and feel that I had issues with it dragging on, as well. Tough genre for fun factor -- at least you gave players a little more to do in your game than I did in mine. ;)
After I game over, it goes to a white screen with only the buttons haha. The first play was interesting. I had no idea what was going on at first though. Without reading the description I have no idea how the controls interact with the game.
Beyond that, good idea! I love the music and the graphics were really nice(until they disappeared lol)
good graphical style and interesting concept. I found it slightly difficult to find a pattern to the progression, but perhaps i was not observant enough.
Pretty fun concept indeed, but I would have liked it to be a little more fast paced in the catching of items bit. Can really take a while if you're unlucky when you have to catch 10 items.
The music really fits the game, an eerie song that's fit for Satan's child, heh.
Everything seemed to work for me. I haven't seen a tamagotchi in years! Great artwork. Great sound. The basket catch minigame could use a bit of speeding up though, I think.
The idea is really fun! I got to the second level. I like how the mechanics evolve.
I wish the hitbox of the cauldron was only on top. Also the music would have been great to have some hellish sounds in there :D Like flames or devil laughter.
Constant switching of items in buttons without any period (as I thought it to be) is pain in the ass. Nice art, but music is quite disappointing as I think. It's quick pet-feeder, so music should be fast, or dynamic at least. Good theme expansion, though.
The game goes on at a pace which is really difficult to follow. I think I died at least 5 times before I even knew what I was supposed to do. But besides this the concept is really interesting and fun.
Great job ! I liked to play at your game ! but i saw a little bug if you got 2 items at the same time, you can go over the limit (6/5 objets for exemple) :P
Nice idea, I manage to figure out what to do. It gets a bit tedious after a while, but I found it interesting to see how the "devil" evolved - Nice graphics.
Artwork and mood are really top notch. I love the song but it doesnt fit well into the game. Game itself is a bit slow, especially during the falling objects stage and sometimes you have to wait a while for the item you need to show up.
The game is well done and I liked the idea to raise a little Satan. To be honestly I got a little bored during the gameplay, maybe the mini-game could be a little faster! The music is good but I didn't think it fits very well in the game. Great job guys!
Nice graphic style, that little demon is soooo cute! Good idea with that two buttons, but game turns out a little boring when it's the next time I'm starting again... Anyway, cool game with cute demon c:
Thx all, We have some bugs with progress bar on second level. Now i trying to fix that. In post jam version we create more minigames and edit balance on that minigame.
Good job on running with both themes. Bizarre themes are always welcome on my watch, and congrats on getting a fair amount of gameplay out of the game. My only real complaints are related to the soundtrack, which seemed overly serious to go well with the graphics, which is a shame since the music is good on it's own. Then, I also experienced some glitches in the audio playback, probably related to buffer handling (or just lag). Maybe you wanted to know.
The gameplay is somewhat repetitive and the minigame where you catch things is mostly just sitting and waiting for what you need to catch. The graphics are great and the music is nice. Outside of the catching things mini game the game is pretty fun.
Sounds are nice, the game does drag a little bit (especially the catching minigame), art was really good especially for a Jam entry, much more of a mood filled, slightly creepy vibe to the whole deal that was really intriguing whilst playing it, but when I hit the young kid age it kept resetting my growth bar and progress :(.
Good work though, I hope the bug is resolved for a post-patch release.
For some reason I found this game very relaxing. The music fits and the graphics are pretty good. Some sound effects to let the player know when they click the wrong Item would have been useful. But aside from that, Great job :)
I tried to play with a mouse and spent five minutes trying to undertand what to do after pots appear. Tried to use cursor keys - voila! - it worked. The game gets too slow after a while. Still, a really good take on both themes :)
After I figured out what I was doing wrong and understood what I was supposed to do it was great! It was a bit hard when you got to the second level :-) overall good! Great job!
It works for me, and I pretty much like it, but it's pretty annoying when you must catch the falling things. Sometimes it takes too long for the thing you need to fall and you lose absolutely everything if you hit something else with the side of the bowl.
I like the concept, but that particular thing annoyed me. I'm not giving it a low rate because I understand this was made in three days and you may have not have enough time to test it.
Please, fix that and tell me! I'll love to play this game.
God I really wanted to play this one but I can't figure out what's going on for the life of me. I give it a red bottle and the bar fills up, a white one and it goes down? Sometimes I do a red one and it goes down.
Agghh!
I won't do a rating yet, since I need to actually understand the game first :P

It was uncomprehensible at first. It would have helped with audio or visual feedback whenever I did the right or wrong thing. Once I figured out what I was supposed to do, it got pretty boring. Nice graphics though.
The idea and the status screens are cut, but unfortunately the gameplay feels pretty repetitive and punishing... Speeding up drops and using a "bag" like tetris could help with that.
The game was pretty good however I feel as though the game is a tad boring but overall the game is very well done I just think there needs to be better mechanics and it would be amazing other than that good work on your entry!
A bit repetitive, the second minigame can get tedious pretty fast due to spawning mechanism (too random, good item every 5 steps/some deterministic lanes/maybe different speeds etc could help). Definately missing poop & cleanup
Great idea, I like the concept and your implementation, but the cauldron segments drag on quite a bit in the later stages especially if you make a mistake as you try and pick up your 15th item, very unforgiving :(
Had a lot of performance issues; a few slowdowns and the music started stuttering after a while. The game was not very engaging. It missed a lot of "juice"; sound effects and visual queues when something happens or something was pressed. Made it feel quite stale and unrewarding.
Not so bad start idea, but becomes a little boring to the end. I gave up on the forth level, before I fall asleep on my keyboard. :P Drawings, idle animations and music are well and polished, but gameplay is too slow. ;)
Cool idea, the music was great and the graphics were nice. I thought some of the mini-games, especially later in the game, lasted a bit too long, but other than that really cool!
The concept is awesome, but I think it needs a few tweaks. The main problem, to me, is that minigame - it's fun at the start, but when the number of different items increase, the item you want takes too long to come and it gets waaay boring.
My suggestion is reducing the item scope to just the ones from the past level (example, on the teen level, only dolls, cars, videogames and books appear, the baby bottles are ditched).
[ETC from Creative Sectors] It has an interest twist on the themes and overall have a nice feeling in itself. Sometimes I found myself stucked by timing kills. The atmosphere is unique and it has potential. When I saw Tamagotchi I started to remember those pixelated versions. It can be more evil, like a Happy Tree Friends-like game. The visuals and music is blending together really well.

And awesome art
That's what this game is from my point of view.

Good grasp on the theme! Well done!
I wish the hitbox of the cauldron was only on top. Also the music would have been great to have some hellish sounds in there :D Like flames or devil laughter.
Is anyone remeber game Lucius? ;P
It was fun to play it : )

The music is good but I didn't think it fits very well in the game.
Great job guys!

simple little tomogatchi-like game, good job :)
