Very cute game! I really enjoyed your take on loop just being a slice of everyday life. The art was very cute and the animations well done. Good job!
i do hope my rock liked my food, i loved patting the most of all actions and the different reactions to it!
i really liked the artstyle, so cute!
I enjoyed taking care of my rock
Real comfy with my lil' pebble. Great humor in here and fully of cozy charm
A cozy fun game! I liked the art style too. Does the rock listen to rock music XD?
I'm closer to enlightenment because of this game, thank you :)
"Maybe the rock is full" got me laughing! Loved! Great execution!
Very cute and abstract! Art style really sells the game
No one would refuse petting a rock :) I love it
I actually have a pet rock irl, I never pet it tho it just sits in a corner
AAA okay im obsessed this is so cute <3 Definitely coming back to this one the art is sooo good. Also your itch page for it looks amazing!
Sweet little game!
I quite liked the rock humor.
Such a nice game!
I like how you get emotionally attached to your pet rock through these everyday routines. I was devastated when my first rock got lost (and second smashed oh no...) But I still like the Stroll routine the most, as it gives you lots of narrative.
I am also impressed how many systems you managed to implement into the game. Getting achievements was a strong motivation to continue playing. However I didn't get an achievement for my first pebble (and I had more than one of them).
The only thing I may wish for is probably some progression in our relationships with the rock: it would be awesome to see some bonding haha.
The art style is cozy and sweet.
Had fun playing, thanks!
I was pleasantly surprised by this game! A tamagotchi game for my pet rock? Hell yeah. Absolutely loved the dry humour in the actions, and the amount of extra stuff in there (an emotion diary, a breathing minigame, hell, even achievements?) is stunning. Great entry, well done!
super cute!
I love my rock
