Had this open for a bit while working on another Game Jam submission! It really works well for that. At first I was a bit distracted because the rescource bars go down so fast, but eventually I just let them deplete and came back every couple minutes. The design of Hya, and especially the last "evolution" is sooo cool, and the amazing animations make it really feel alive!
I also like the UI design and how it overlays the bottom of the screen, so I was still able to have my youtube tutorials above it on my second screen lol. Had a great time!
This is really cute and a great take on the endless theme! I love the Creature. My main crit is just to add a bit more to the juice/gamefeel. Some small SFX would go a long way as others have said, and it would be nice if the interactions with the creature had a bit more going on, some little animations or similar so that it feels less like just clicking. But all in all a cool and unique submission, thanks for sharing your game!
Cute desktop game! It's very nice to see games like these to break up the otherwise repetitive nature of reviewing these games. I watched a few youtube videos while I was caring for my Hya's and Lily's. I LOVE the sprites that they have. The game itself is very simple and the scope is very small. There's no other complexity besides pressing buttons when told to but that's fine. The point really is to turn off your brain and admire the cuteness.
Had a really hard time rating the audio for this game >_> Is it a 1/5 because there's no audio, or something else, like 5/5 because games like these shouldn't have audio at all? @_@. I just... compromised.
The bars depleting on the little guys IS STRESSING ME OUT. Wdym my babies get hungry???? Wdym they get sad and lonely if I don't give them my undivided attention????? THEY DESERVE THE WORLD!!!!
IKR I DIDNT REALIZE THEY PROGRAMMED THE BABIES AFTER *MY* CATS LOL THEY WERE SO NEEDY XDD
Thank you so much for playing Schrecky <3 <3 <3 we appreciate it greatly !
TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE GOOD LILY AND HYA IF EVER YOU BOOT IT UP AGAIN
Really cute and lovely game! Love the adorable Hya and also the fact that it's a desktop game. Add some sfx or music and it would be much better! Also save system because sometimes I have to close the program to do some other things.
Thank you for taking the time to play ^^ We wanted to add sfx but as my teammate had mentioned we were worried the sounds (or moreso the music) would take away or be too disctracting from the aspect that one could continue their browsing or whatnot... but in retrospect volume bars could help with that so we may take that into consideration for polish :) Also yes! I agree on the save system. I'm sure as with the music, if we develop this further with more varieties of flower creatures we would definitely look into a save system :)
Great creature designs, the way the cats were combined with their respective flowers was very creative! I loved seeing the growth stages and caring for the pet. The animation was also very nice, especially the sitting down animations! I also took notice of the cat ears in the UI, very cute :3
Gameplay is rather simplistic and easy to understand, perfect for a desktop idler.
Several times I had the desire to pick up one of the pets and put them somewhere else - simply because it would be a cute feature, but most of the time because I couldn't click who I actually wanted to click, haha! Maybe even having a list of my pets, to quickly click through, would've been nice.
The biggest shock came when I had to go do my laundry and came back to a singular pet... Fortunately I was able to bounce back to five pets rather quickly and gained the understanding to not let them idle that long, so it wasn't too frustrating.
Good job on the game! I would love to see more pet designs in the future, if you continue development!
My apologies about the death of all your babies over laundry ;-; But we appreciate your comments and the time you took to take care of the kitty-flowers ^^ I appreciate how much you enjoyed the animations !!! They were super fun to make (so say the animator xD)
We will take into consideration prolonging the needs of all the cats should we continue this project :) We had sped up the process ever so slightly just so people got a glimpse of the gameplay - we weren't entirely sure how long people would have spent taking care of them so the speeding it up was just to prevent them from going
But all in all thank you so much for taking the time to try out our game :) it means a lot to the team!
super cute, squishable pets! I love Baby Lily’s animation, and the design of the grown up Hya is so elegant with that tail animation.
I’d love a minimize window option, and maybe resizing the hitboxes of some of them, since it can be a bit hard to click on one of them if behind another pet. really cute game! :>
We're so happy you liked our game! Thank you for your feedback, we'll keep those in mind for future updates!
HI COCOPHANY!! Thank you for taking the time to take care of the babiesss!
The team took note of your suggestions so that we could potentially implement them should we develop it further!
That's definitely a unique approach to the theme! It runs well, it's pretty fun and the little critters have very interesting designs too. The only thing that I felt was really missing was sound effects. Just some interaction sound effects would've greatly added to the vibe I think. But overall very cool, well done!
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you liked our approach to this theme! The SFX question was a bit of an issue for us so we choose to not add it for now ^^ but we'll think about it!
Cute animations and very well executed desktop game. I had this running on my second monitor for a while. I only wish there was some sound effects especially for the critical tasks. Fantastic job from everyone!
Thank you for your feedback! We were a bit worried adding SFX would be too annoying since its an pet desktop and we wanted the user to still be able to focus on their tasks while having their little Hanekochi running around.
Such a creative idea! First time I've seen a desktop pet style game in a jam.
The art is very pretty and the systems are simple in a way that really suits the format.
Super fun to play, great work!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it!
