Turbogotchi!

https://joemag.itch.io/turbogatchi
Your brother David has left you, Alexis, in charge of his 6 ADULT virtual pets that are in PERFECT HEALTH! How long can you keep them all alive and happy?
After they're all dead (they WILL die) you'll get a score for how long they all stayed alive for. Be sure to share and brag about your highest score!

(yes, this whole project is an extended reference to a Schitt's Creek joke)

I had way more fun with this than I thought I would and I dunno if it's just nostalgia or the high-octane tamagotchi action that made it so. Great, if not a bit simplistic entry! Would pat-pat all 6 of them again

This game really got me for like 30 minutes, unfortunately I coudn't reach so far. By the way, great game!

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/BkQLNdwwwdM

Interesting little concept. The little bit of background music makes it a quite calming game. Good Job.

Braught back memories. Now trying to take car of 6 at a times has filled my nostalgia for the next 10 years at least.

Fun game! I like the music in the background. Great work!

cool idea, nicely put together. Wow these little guys can produce a lot of poo.

More fun than I was expecting, wound up playing for a while. I like the take on the joke.

LOL this interpretation of the theme is sooooo clever. I laughed really hard at that alone. The gameplay is paced really nicely and it was fun to embrace the hecticness of managing 6 Turbogotchis. It seemed like they pooped around the same time so my strategy was to do a round of feeding, a round of cleaning, and a round of patting, then repeat the cycle. I think I did pretty well? Also the music is nice, I didn't notice it while I was playing because of all the sound effects but it's playing in the background as I'm writing this and it's really relaxing (unlike the game).

Nice idea ! I feel like this concept could evolve into many mechanics with the different pets interacting with each other. This is a fun little game, although very stressful. Good job!

Nice game!
I lost 4 of them after just 7 days. The other two lived for 10 more days. I guess that's why I don't have a pet :p
Great work!

Very cool game. I liked it a lot. I didn't really get how to play the game, but if I would it looks like I would have a lot of fun

Haha, cool idea. I thought it was a bit frustrating, but it doesn't matter because the idea is just awesome!

Cool game. Animations and sfxs are perfect, and the music is really relaxing :P I got 54 days, last one lived for 10 days.

Most stressful 48 days of my life :sweat_smile:

I find it interesting how you approached the theme with a joke from a tv series!
Nice job
Nice job

Only 54 days. I'm bad at keeping those suckers alive. Nice game, well done!

I started the game and immediately felt stressed :D
Nice implementation of a simplistic tamagotchi. Sounds are fine and the music works well. I have it play on the background when I'm writing this and it's not annoying at all. I think there's a slight hiccup when it's supposed to loop. Good idea and I think it was nice to include the source for the joke :D

Jokes aside. Simple idea, good execution. Nice job!
