Lovely art and the GOOFY LIL WALK made a big first impression on me.
I did accidentally sequence broke the tutorial by grooming him after the shower! Had to restart. Once I started the game I realised that its hard to keep track of orders once you've got a few dinos of the same type cos they have identical icons. Dino names or more colours would have helped a lot here. I think I like this game - but also there doesn't seem to be a way to restart the game or skip the tutorial so it's bit of a hassle to actually get into the main game again. I'll prob come back to this one again though!
OK survived the day! I like this one but it does have some issues that stop it from shining. I agree with others that pets come in too fast and once you have a few underfoot you keep accidentally picking up the wrong one, especially since they seem to want to cluster near stations - so it's hard to actually pick a dino up from the table. (Maybe two buttons would've worked? Eg. Pick up from floor and pick up from table? Dunnoooo)
Also I really wish picking up a treat just put it in your hand rather than having to hit Q then E - plus with the above issue its hard to get the treat out. So I tended to just let the lil dinos get mad since you can still deliver them if they're grumpy. (Side note I love the lil yappy dog fight noise!)
Also full acknowledgement that our own game suffers from similiar-ish bugs and feedback issues too. This is still super cute and the idea is spot on.
It's really hard, 10/10 loved the game!! But it may be a lil too laggy.
I really liked the game! I played through it twice, got 109$ my second run!
I think my only main problems are the lag (it even broke the tutorial for me once) and that all the little dinosaurs look the same, meaning that once there's more than one of the same type I can't tell which one is which. Which is a problem given the decreasing bar. Maybe they could have a slight color variation to avoid this?
But I really love the style of the characters and its such a cute little game.
True chaos. Loved it. Also the art was very cute. Good job!
Really loved this game! The art is super cute and it's such a creative idea! The sounds and music are great too and I love how it gets a bit more chaotic as time runs out. It would be cool if the game continued onto more days and you could do something with the money you earn!
Loved this one! very cute art! nicely interactive and the increasing stress was perfect haha
Well, I survived the day :-D I was able to treat some of them, most had fun fighting each other.
The audio is really cool, and I like the animations - simple, yet effective.
Good job!
I think the gameplay loop is there. It would be useful if there was a nametag for the dinosaurs, so that I can differentiate between them and know which one is the most stressed.
There are indeed a lot of animals coming in all at once, and it does get too overwhelming. With that said, I'm imagining that this is what working at an actual vet would feel like, so I was immersed.
The dinosaurs are cute.
The new dinos come in way too quick and it gets very overwhelming. I really liked the art style though!
The dino's / clients come way too quickly in my opinion. Also, the shower seems to only work during the tutorial.
Audio is great for a game jam game though!
