Ok I really liked this one, I think it was very creative, had a good theme, narrative, etc.
Only problem is I was so busy trying to vacuum up hamster turds that I burned the chicken T_T

Vampire Survival: AlaskaFrom all the games that were "finish x before countdown" i think this is my favourite one! Loved the catching the hamster and vaccuming mini game, and how does she how that many hamsers???

Node RunnerThis was an amazing game with an equally amazing art style. It was also the only one I've seen so far that actually had dialogue! My only critique is that the bathroom door was not very prominent in the bedroom so if you just added an arrow or something like that pointing at all the doors, it might also be because I'm colorblind. Fun game overall, very unique idea!

VOLTAGEsweet game,lovely artstyle. All though I returned all the hampsters in the cage, it didn't get crossed out so I was confused at that!

Punch ZeroVery cute game, sort of cozy despite hectic. The bathroom task was the most difficult for me, and I thought I had the chicken perfect a few times, but couldn't put it anywhere when done other than juggle it back and forth and hope that it was the right temperature in the end. Amazing art for the time given though, and the programming felt smooth as butter!

Pluck'n StuffLove the concept of this game and the artstyle! It's so cute that you have to prepare the house for guests before your mum gets home. I appreciate the item list being crossed out when tasks are done as I didn't notice the bathroom door on my first playthrough (and knew something was up since I thought I had collected all the hamsters). The tasks were fairly intuitive (aside from the bathroom temperature) and I appreciate the narration which added some clarification. I immediately recognised the colour palette from LoSpec! Fantastic job :)

Unintentionally Funny OllieVery cute ! I kept the bath for last and got absolutely gut punched when i realized it takes time, thinking about all the time i spent chasing the hamsters… Very funny premise and great execution !

MEZOMETRIC (GMTK JAM)Was a rly rly fun and cute little thing! I didnt rly get how the bath worked? Nor did I know where to put the chicken after getting it to a perfect 22C, but other then that, was great! The art is so so cute as well I Loveeeee the pallete used
Great great great game!

Card SortingThank you!! yaaa the bath was confusing for a lot of people, each time you fill it with water of a certain temperature determined by the timing minigame, your goal is to mix hot and cold water until the thermometer on the right shows just the right temperature! The chicken is supposed to be unplaceable so that you have to juggle it between the fridge and microwave. We will make mechanics clearer in the future!!
Funny concept! I would've defrosted the chicken if it weren't for my 12 hamsters escaping :(

In a Mascot MinuteCute game and cute art style, I love red and cyan colour palettes so I am biased lol. I somehow missed 2 hamsters that I couldn't find anywhere, I think they probably got inside the walls. I wasn't sure what to do with the chicken after it got to the right temperature tho, I was just carrying it around while looking for the last hamsters.
Awesome game with beautiful art (kinda reminds me of stardew valley)

Picklock Before TimeTook a few tries but I made my mom proud by getting 233/240! I straight up didn't find the bathroom on the first run and was very confused how on earth I was supposed to draw a bath without a tub and why the hamster task wasn't checking off! What sort of bathroom has a faucet that turns itself off after like one minute and why do I have 12 hamsters xD
I'm so impressed by the art and the music and the overall feeling of the game! Absolutely nails the "aaaah mom's coming home" frantic rush. Not that I'd know anything about that, of course >.>

Short FuseMom is picky about her chicken and bathwater temperatures! (Great game! I got about 170 points.)
