Cool game. I really dug the art and vibe of this one. Good job
Really cool game, I love the pixel art style, and I also liked the monster racism (lol). Also I think what you called "Red" showed as magenta. I assumed it was to make them more visible.
Art is super strong, especially the attention to detail with the furniture in the hotel, and the little bats that follow the vampires. SFX were also great, my favorite being the little 'ugh' noise that the vampires make lol. It all feels very polished. My main crit would be that I think the rooms changed so much that I never got much sense of where anything was. I think part of the point was meant to be that we remember where different rooms are, but I don't think I ever got to that point. It was mainly just running around looking for the right room lol. I also didn't ever notice the customer's patience bars go down so I don't know if there's a possible bug there. Really strong entry overall tho, thanks for sharing!
Very cutie game. That was fun eveytime to pet the cat!!! Really good job with art!
This game is such vibe, I love those kinde of puzzles! And I loved the intro visuals, great job on that too!
Strong entry! I loved the jingle at the start and I had a lot fun escorting guests around the hotel. Y'all did a nice job introducing new concepts along the way to evolve the game loop and keep things interesting, but by the time I got to the fourth day it felt like I was getting asked for room combinations that weren't possible? It sounds like I might have missed a mechanic here (based on some of the other feedback) that allowed for re-rolling the guest's room choice? If so, that could have been hinted at or made clearer I think. The art and animations are really beautiful here!
Super polished right from the intro! The custom music and singing were awesome, and even the little bell ding to start the game. The pixel art is amazing too, loved all the little monster designs and how they show on the doors once they're in their rooms. The gameplay was really fun, though my memory is downright awful lol. I could never remember where any of the doors were, so I spent half the time pacing around the hotel with guests following me. They must've thought it was my first day on the job; my coworkers should have never left me alone XD
I liked how the difficulty picked up as the days went on too, with the doors changing around and the guests getting pickier about their rooms. The sound design was great all around, hats off to Happy :> and everyone who worked on the audio! And of course, I made sure to pet the cat haha. Really impressive work from the whole team!
so cute! i love the art and the increasing difficulty as the days progress. but by day 3 and 4, i couldn’t find the right room for a handful of the guests no matter how many laps i ran around the place, but i probably just didn’t understand how to make the rooms change? but really nice game! the singing and bgm in the main menu is a bop LOL
If you didn't find the correct room for them then you have to go back to the reception area so the rooms will change, hopefuly XD.
I love the colors in the pixel art style, its so cute. The gameplay is pretty fun too, it's fun to think who goes in which door, which was fun to decipher. It was super fun!! The only issue from my end was I kept confusing the circle and square, and it's probably a skill issue on my part. I kept getting low scores because of it ahaha... other than that it's super good!!!!!!!
I loved the game, especially the cat, it was sooo cute!! ❤️
I love this game! The visuals and sound design are perfect! I found it kind of funny to imagine what the motel patrons thought of me as I had them follow me in laps around the place until I could get just the right door for them. At one point I caught the cat walking through a wall, though maybe it is a spooky magic ghost cat that can just do that lol.
Yeeeaahh... Ghost cat.... just as we planed XD
We know about this but decided to leave it as is giving it a bit of a spook.
It was a fun game; I liked the monster's designs.

This is relatable because I, too, have to pet my cat before doing anything productive or else there will be consequences. Love the art in this game. The "monster motel" jingle at the start cracked me up because I wasn't expecting it! Definitely super cozy, easy to pick-up, and sufficiently difficult so as to be entertaining. One of the best entries I've played so far! Awesome work!
the main menu is really impressive! i loved petting the cat! very cozy
Great work! Love the art style and of course petting the cat. Was fun!
really cool pixel art
Very fun with great art and sounds!! love how serious petting the cat first is
Wow, this game is amazing all around!! Just the main menu alone is really creative! The whole thing is very cozy. Wonderful work!
One of the best games i played so far :D nice concept and very nice usage of the limitation. It can get repetitive, but since it's so short, its fine. I did have a lot of fun. Music is great, the main menu music is awesome. The art style is very fitting. Maybe I could see some other hotel tasks being added during each day, like preparing breakfast, fixing stuff in rooms or maybe even dealing with complaints. With possibly special events every few days. Just a few ideas :) Anyway, great work.
