Enjoy watching it jiggle as it sustains itself on tiny droplets.

Didn't feel up to making a full game, so made a tweetcart instead! Note, there's nothing to interact with, it's just a generated animation.

Not going to lie, this is one of my favorite submissions that I've seen, despite literally not being interactive.

Cool animation, it would be cool if you could at least interact by feeding it and it would look at the cursor(tamagochi?)

Nice tweetcart! I'm impressed you were able to get the keep-it-alive URL too. I guess no one else thought about making their game the same name as the theme.
