What a lovely monster we have here. I loved to hold it and move around. I spend a good time just looking into the sky, it had an amazing texture, and then the moon movement, the rain falling into my face...
Really creep/comfy/lonely/heartwarming experience, thanks for it. I may had fallen into the water abyss, but we don't need to talk about why I was going to the middle of the ocean in the first place XD
I’m so happy you liked the vibes, I think we spent a disproportionate amount of time on the environment and atmosphere so your words made me very happy.
Great style, really digging this lovecraftian vibe and the minimalist way to tell the story. Nice!
Very creative twist on the original! 5/5.
My only criticism is some of the SFX were a bit rough on the ears haha (specifically in the fishing minigame)! But other parts of the sound design were great! Loved the ambience and entire feel of the game. Good job!
It gave me a spooky vibe being alone on a beach with the alien. I did notice the camera moves backward when looking down, but overall it’s a really cool spin on the Tamagotchi theme.
Love the eerie vibe! The sound design is awesome and I really enjoyed being in this world even though i had an angry, hungry alien next to me ^^
I love fishing games and this mix of fishing and tamagotchi is really good. i hope you try my game
That is a pretty cool game! I loved the ambience and all the machanics. I also miss some fishes that flew past me a couple of times, and after waking the baby the visual was a bit glitched (like, in a wrong angle degree).

Great game. Love the Ambience. Gameplay-wise, I wish I could find the fish in the bucket after I caught it. It flew past me sometimes, and for moments when it didn't, it was not in the bucket like I assumed it would be. Fun game overall
the fish goes directly in your inventory press tab to equip it I’m glad you enjoyed it !!
It wasn't communicated well, I thought it landed in the bucket. maybe include a UI element that visually communicates to the player that their inventory has a new item. Or when the pet gets hungry, the icon for inventory can pop up if you have fish. Otherwise, I felt bad for starving the little adorable monster. Also, I couldn't go up the stairs on the side of the mountain, just walked right through them
yeah it’s not very explained now that i think about it, thanks for the good feedback
