Absolutely adorable! Very stressful also, I felt like there was never any downtime even with just one Bomugotchi and throwing away gunpowder was kind of finicky, but the idea was excellent and the art was so good that it didn't really matter. It was also a bit confusing to have a toilet that never got used? Or at least I couldn't figure out how to use it...

Such a cute idea!!! Only improvement I'd suggest is make the colisions for the bin a bit more forgiving.

The LiftmanTotally responsible of me to throw my baby on the air to cure boredom, give then high sugar food even he has no teeth, let him poop on the floor, etc. Maybe that's why he threats to explode every now and then XD. Very good job on portraying this into a game.
Also, 21 SECONDS LEFT?!? Damn, the pressure must have been huge, congrats on making it :)

T.I.C.K (Time is conserved, kid)I applaud you for managing to finish this game in time for the jam - you must have been stressing SO HARD LMAO. Hope you get some good rest after - I hope you can still make it for the next jam! Maybe you could add a storefront where you can go to a shop that gives you food that helps your baby bombs poop out bigger poop for more money LMAO? Maybe you can have a store where you can give them electronics to help cure their boredom and give you perks, like faster poop or bigger trash can? However you want to improve on the game, you did a fantastic job submitting it on time! Good luck with the rest of your jam!

I Bleed the FifthHaha, thanks so much. That "submitted 21 seconds before the deadline" notice is sort of a badge of honor, but it was tense! Expanding the game with a shop that allows those sorts of upgrades, and maybe even some automation, is a good idea. The project is such a tangled mess that I may need to rebuild it from the ground up, but I'm definitely planning on adding those features in the future.
Dude that 21 seconds is goated honestly. I don't think you necessarily need to build it from the ground up - it's a great game as is! I think you just need to refine a couple of things and adding them on top of the base game - I think you should give yourself a little more credit! Don't let this game jam get you down - now that you have a lot you learned, you know what you can do for next jam, which I hope you'll join. Keep going, goat.
Very cute and fun! I really enjoyed it, the gameplay is fun and neat and the visuals and sounds are super cute and pleasing.. Good job! ^^

PRE-SHOW PANIC!Love this take on the theme haha. Super cute art and concept. The way the camera worked made it a little tough clicking around and had me a little confused on what to do at first. Vibes were immaculate tho, great job!!

Blood Drive: County HunterI raised my bomugachi to max level and let it explode near the cracked wall, but it did nothing?
This game really sells its aesthetic well, but the gameplay felt somewhat tedious. Picking up the droppings felt more involved than I feel like it should be due to their small size. I never felt the need to buy multiple bomugachis so I don't know what lunacy does.
Great job though, great art.
