Really interesting concept of a game! It achieves the goal to remind the Tamagotchi stress. And adding personalization and multiple critters on the equation? Even more! I love the random faces that you can get in each critter. Congratulations for the game!
Thank you!
"Mute Fart Sounds" may be my favorite UI option ever. I really enjoyed this! I love character creators and I thought this was handled really well. I couldn't help but take some screen shots of the critters roaming and pooping throughout their daily routine. I enjoyed the simplicity of this and would love to see you add more features in the future. Really nice work!
Thank you so much, really appreciate the kind feeback.
I like that little green dude a lot, he has good vibes.
It is a nice game, very beautiful concept. And it is impressive it was done in 9 days
Thanks!
The game is really charming. I loved the idea of the critter farm. The problem is that in its current state there isn’t much to do, though I understand the other mechanics couldn’t be finished due to lack of time. But the customization mechanic turned out great, and that’s a really unique strength of the game
You're absolutely right about there being not much else to do, which is a shame! I did learn a lot with this project though, Which i suppose is the reason most of us are doing these, so I'm considering it all a positive.
Thanks very much for the constructive and kind feedback. Would love to try and go back to it and get the features in before the next jam if possible.
Loved the 3D art style and direction. Feel that with some core features made here, this is more of a prototype for something more expansive and interesting.
Thank you!
It is unfortunately a little light on features, there is a food/joy system and a half working shop hidden in there, but because of my limited availability this time around i decided to hide them and polish up what i could instead.
Very original, loved the customization. :)
Thanks! Very kind!
Such a cute vibe with the flat coloured 3d and music! I think this game serves as a great example of the power of the Godot engine, and I loved customising my little creatures. Would have loved a randomiser for the sliders, to get something to build off of. Great entry :)
Still more fun than Tamagotchi!
Hah, yes! Thank you!
9/10, not enough poop.
(My attempts at using the mouth as Bill's pupil seems not to have worked. Oh well.)
I hear you loud and clear. More Poop incoming
🗿💨!
very nice, made me laugh
Thanks for trying it out! Much appreciated
Oh man, I loved this one! The poop sounds are such a good addition, I don't know why someone would want to mute that!
Quick feedback though, the pathfinding was a bit problematic, they mostly just stayed in their corners. One way to work around this is to have them follow a specific direction for X amount of time, and if they hit something, make them go in the direction of the center for a bit, just so they reset themselves. Simple, and works relatively well!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Oh dang, that is a way more refined way of doing it! I didn't even think about them changing direction when hitting stuff, i just thought " Uhhh sure, a 3.5 second timer before choosing a new direction should be fine!" (Spoilers, it wasn't, as is evidenced by the way they move and the fact i spent 3 hours trying to make it wooork!)
No worries, I had a blast either way!
ayyyspoon! Lord Ruper Carling-delux is my favourite critter
Oh my god it's so dumb I love it!
I wish there was a randomizer. I quickly gave up customizing my critters because I got overwhelmed with poop
Randomizer! Yes! How did i forget that?!
Edit: I even had it on the dang names for crying out loud! Why didn't i do it for the visuals too?!
Thanks for trying it!
Poop cleaning simulator with upbeat music! It's so absurd and I love that.
Nice! Honestly, these creative relaxing games aren't really for me, but that's not your fault. If your goal was creating a game for relaxation, then you made it! Some of the critters that you can create are hilarious. And I was a bit shocked when I found out that the critters produce sh*t. :-)
As a former Tamagotchi player/owner, I'd say you really captured the essence of how I remeber it 😄 I had fun customizing the looks of the critters!
The art style is great and world looks nice it made me want to explore. It would be fun to add a store where you could use your collected golden poops to buy cosmetics for the little guys. Great job!
Thanks for trying it out and your kind feedback!
I wish i'd been able to get the shop up in the time i had. The idea was critters would increase in value over time and you'd also get a little extra cash by picking up their golden poops. Then you could buy all the crowns and cat ears your heart desired!
This is completely stupid and I mean that as a huge compliment. How are they pooping so much?! They haven’t even eaten yet!
That's all i wanted to hear! Glad you enjoyed the absurdity of it.
"Like Tamagotchi, but worse!" lol
I like games with character creators. An objective would be nice but like you wrote you had a holiday.
Overall nice concept.
Thanks! Yeah it's a shame! It's all in there under the hood in some form of unfinished, but I felt it was better to cut my losses and polish up what i could with my time instead.
Thanks for trying it out!
I really liked the art for this, and it was really fun to make a bunch of silly guys, it took me a second to realize the bars between the arrows are height sliders which adds a nice extra dimension to the fun lol!
This gave me flashbacks to playing slime rancher which is really cool, I liked how I was able to jump around and even leave the immediate pen area. For working under an even smaller time limit I think this is wonderful and charming!
Thank's for trying it out and the kind feedback, it's much appreciated!
