How did you incorporate the given theme in your game?
I attempted to make a retro girly game inspired by some of the games my Mother played when she was a child. I'm not sure if I succeeded...

Fun concept! Wholesome vibe. Really liked the sprites for the characters and pets.
The overworld and maps in general were a bit too big for the scope of the game, there could have been a bit more visual indication between traversable and blocked areas. The controls a bit floaty but not a big issue. Having different minigames for the pets was fun! The music was chill but there could have been either a longer loop or another track. After collecting all 3 pets it could have triggered an endgame?
On encountered bugs the turtle dialogue kept looping forever until I changed screens for some reason, hitting E again would reset the entire conversation which could be a bit clearer.
Also is that Death Note music on the cat minigame? lmao
I do think you succeeded, and congrats on uploading. Had a fun if short time or, as the pirate would say, ARRGH!
The writing is cute, I like how the main character asks the animals to return so politely, and the interactions feel very wholesome. And I like that the dog and cat each had their own special minigame. I had to check the comments to see if I was missing anything after I'd collected them all.
It took me a moment to figure out what the cat minigame was. I like that you changed the music to a lullaby when the cat was sleeping, that's a fun detail :)
Cute game and interesting story - I liked the minigames and would like to see it expanded
Cute game and cute mechanics. I had trouble figuring out the cat's minigame at first. Then at the end, I got the animals back but nothing really happened.
Thank you for playing and giving feedback!
This game is super cute! The art style and map made it feel cozy and I especially loved the tug of war animation with the dog! I thought it was also cute how the player talks to the animals and in the future it would be really cool to see how you could expand on their personalities or add more animals! One improvement that I saw in another comment as well would be to make the objectives more clear. It wasn't evident that the cat minigame was a red light, green light game at first. Overall, still a fun game that connects to the theme well! :)
Definitely! If I keep working on the game I'd hope to add more pets and finish up the parts I couldn't get around to. Thanks for playing and good feedback!
This game and the mini game was fun, just the only problem was i think the objective wasnt really stated well, Im not too sure if there is anything else other than the dog, turtle and cat. Anyway Great Job :>
Yea I should have play tested it with other people more :(. Thank you for the feedback!
This was a lot of fun! I love the art style and the mechanics are very fun and interesting :]
Thank you!
I nice little game. I like the creativity with the different mini-games for each pet. My only real complaint is that the overworld feels a little big. It felt like it took awhile to get around. It was also a little difficult to tell where the separation between the overworld and specific areas was. Otherwise great work!
Ooh okay, Thank you very much! I love getting feedback to see how I can improve my projects. If I keep working on this game I'll definitely take that into account!
