Great and funny animations, interesting idea.
Liked the music too!
Got only to day 5 cause im bad at video games haha
meg Yeah, 15 days is really good!
The music doesn't seem to loop, which is a shame as it adds a lot.
About the tutorial text: Eating /in/ the fridge is a bit unconfortable I think... :-p
(Also: 7 days on first try...)
@rburema Oh! i forgot to make it loop... oh well. i'll upload another build. About the text, english is not my first language, sorry! good job on the 7 days.
@kebb Wow! 42 days, i think you are the best one yet. Thanks a lot!
Although it made me sad when the music ended because it was good.
The four different resources supplement each other in an excellent way. And the "upgrade" mechanic, letting you trade time now, into more efficient resources later, is a nice extra touch.
All in all, a very solid game!
I have only managed to keep my little human alive for 17 days, at which point he ran out of sleep and food at the same time. I guess I balanced the resources a bit too well... :)
@Somnium Thanks so much! 17 days is a lot, good job!
@eerongal Hahaha, yeah it's really hard to keep the guy alive. thanks
5/5 no less, a full version of this or a mobile version would be great!! Some tory happening too would be good too!
PS: I jobless at the moment and this game is my actual dayly life haha
But I think none of the stats reached 0 can be sure...
Good Boj Great Entry!
@SamuelSousa I'm sure one of them had to reach 0 :) some people lived for 42 days! Thanks a lot.
Overall: 4/5. Very nice Tamagotchi/virtual pet game.
Innovation: 2/5. Tamagotchi is overused in game jams a lot, you didn't discover America.
Fun: 4/5. Like I said, a very nice Tamagotchi game. I survived 10 days.
Theme: 3/5. You could do more with the "One Room" theme.
Graphics: 2/5. Would be 4/5 if you didn't rip the font from Tetris on Gameboy.
Audio: 5/5. It's like Cheetahmen 2. It could fit in a better game.
Humor: N/A cause I'm bad at rating humor.
Mood: 4/5 because I feel like it.
I finally found what it was wrong in my life, I do not sleep enough; ))
Thank you for this moment of relaxation.
Everything is very coherent and enjoyable to play
I couldn't edit the .flv on vegas, but you can see it here how easy it was xD
It does need an ending though... The game just keeps getting easier and easier. The first days are fun, but at day 40 I just gave up because I felt that nothing could stop me, the bars fill up so fast that the challenge disappears.
Lots of fun, and a great sense of humor. Past a certain point, it's jsut a matter of upgrading bookstore, bed and computer, and further still, just the computer, eating and pooping only sparingly. But overall, a great game!
Also, I fill like a life hacker now for reading in the toilet :p
Good game, very simple and to the point. The graphics are very cool too. Maybe you could add some more layers of difficulty with some other stats. Very good work.
@icefallgames It indeed is. Thanks!
@ashtheevil @feross Thanks so much !
@Josh H It has some balancing issues, didn't have much time!
@DrillerDev That's cheating man! haha thanks, yeah i have some ideas about how to make it harder in later stages, check my twitter if you want to play the full game in a few weeks :) @Quaternius
@creativwhisper Yeah, there actually was another stat that i took out because of simplicity (Productivity). I'll balance , make the game better and release it after this jam :).
@rplnt Yep, like i said, balancing for me is difficult and i didn't have much time, thanks :)
Shame I didn't survive long. And man, working sure makes that little guy want to pee!
@Slowian Yeah i have a bunch of stuff that i want to do for a full release in a few weeks on mobile and pc, to balance it out and make it harder in the long run, thanks for the suggestion! hadn't thought about it. really helps.
Clean and original pixelart.
Litle bit to easy, but great game nonetheless!
P.s.
To live in one room with toilet and have $6k desktop - totally PC master race stuff, no offence :D
@BeardyBard Hahaha thanks! Yeah, i really need to balance the game, after 15 days it gets easy. Pc master race indeed.
I want to play the full release.
What improvements have you planned for the full version?
@jsmars I'll check the code out, thanks :) Yeah , i wanted to do that but didn't have much time.
@Nexus64 I'm glad you liked it! I will balance it so that after playing for a while it gets harder, And maybe you can suddenly lose some of your bar stats, maybe you can get suddenly hungry or depressed. Make upgrade graphics , a lot of things :)
This guy has a better bed than I do. :(
Very funny and addicting game!!!
Just more sounds would give it the final touch.
