Yup, of course a homunculus expert like myself would get 879 points, the most points you can even get in 15 minutes, as it goes. Simple to a homunculus DEMON such as myself. child's play even
First off, this game is sick as hell. Tonally it hits the mark wonderfully, although the same grunts over and over again do get a little taxing. The graphics are clean and fun and lit in a way that evokes strong emotions without lagging my computer (it actually does but more on that momentarily)
Gameplay-wise, I'm really shocked to say that this is not only fun, but well-balanced and engaging, in a way that adds to the atmosphere. The controls are responsive, the telekenesis works well as a supplementary mechanic (most of the time, sometimes I would go flying myself which was a little weird but it's ok that didn't happen often), and the numbers are fine tuned in a way that gets overwhelming at just the right points. I will say I never had to deal with my rubik's cubes being solved because as it turns out homunculi are really bad at puzzles, but it's ok because they are my babies all the same.
I'm not sure what was going on in the technical side, but as it went on, the game got laggier and laggier, I'm not sure if it was just me having more homunculi (I think I had like 5? by the end maybe 6) but the audio was stuttering, the game was moving at a crawl, and I was struggling to move in that last 30 seconds lmao, not sure what was up with that but overall I think this is my favorite game in the jam so far! very well thought out pet management sim with a cruel but fun tone, and an astonishingly clear vision. Amazing work!
