Love 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 :)

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 >.>

IncantdownI didn't think a chore simulator would be fun, but you proved me wrong! The cozy music and beautiful pixel art really did it for me. Great job!

Sand Of SoulsThe hamsters made this game stressful, and the bathroom was kinda hidden, but I absolutely loved it.
