loved the theme and the art looks great! I might have missed something, clicking the pocket pet device didn’t open the care panel for me, and time seemed to pass a little too quickly.

@jooooooise First, thanks for playing! There was a testing value left in by accident which made the day go by way too fast which I fixed now, thanks for pointing it out! To interact with the pocket pet you drag it to the screen center which maybe I should have made a bit more obvious!

It is a pretty cool game, very challenging in confusing, as you get flooded with pets real fast. I think the first few days needed to go a little slower, so I could get the hang of things better. But overall it is a pretty unique idea and I really like it.

Geese those guys poop so much ! That was a lovely idea and I got caught trying to take care of them for quite a while :) I think trying is the right word because I certainly did not succeed haha. I think the game is a bit too hard, at least I don't see how I could improve enough to follow the pace. I like that there was a resting pet area but it was not very practical to use as I could not put a pocket pet directly into it after taking care of it.
I am of the generation that was a kid when tamagochis were at the top of their hype, so this game struck the nostalgia string just right

I managed to earn money each day just by taking care of poop and shower, and sometime feeding them.

Really good mood, it reminds me those things severals years ago ! cool simulator 😄

Managing these pets gets really hectic pretty quickly, and for how little I feed them they sure do need the toilet a lot.. Pretty fun overall though, I wish I could spend the money on more than food and bling

Such an interesting concept and gameplay! It reminded me of my first virtual pet as a kid. I took really good care of it, but one day the device broke for good.
I thought I’d made some money on the first day, but I actually ended up at -100! I also ran into a bug where two instances of the background music were playing at the same time.
