Miss Turner's Magical Pet Swap Shop by Rose
Did you ever wish you could keep your pet, but swap its species? Now you can make it happen with Miss Turner's Magical Pet Swap Shop! Resize body parts to transform animals into other animals in this silly and creative game.
Tip: moving the mouse up/down and left/right controls different qualities (e.g. ear size vs ear rotation.)

I did all the design, art, and code. Music is "Break Away Remix" by Rick Dickert from freesoundtrackmusic.com
Known issues:
- Rating sometimes shows incorrect fractions of stars
- Clicking "I give up" multiple times skips multiple customers
Update:
- Fixed the little bug where customers were saying "thin" instead of "thick" legs

The art style is adorable and simple, overall it's just a fun cutesy game that you could spend a lot of time with.
My only problem is that I know nothing about different types of dogs ;)
the ears were a bit hard to click, once they were inside the animal
Keep up the amazing work!
Also, it's actually pretty dark people want their pets changed and you can actually do that.
I had some problems sometimes because I didn't not a specific dog looked, but I could figure it out through the tips.
And the only improvement I could think of is making the animals look more alive. like extra animations apart from the eye blink you already have. maybe some small movements, barks, sounds.
I ran into one issue were I couldn't get someone to accept a bear because the legs were to thin but they were already as thick as they go.
Great concept! Great game!
That being said, I was extremely impressed by the amount of content you included. Very good job overall and sorry if I sounded nit-picky :)
i like that specific hints that are given when you're off, it keeps you from getting stuck!
all in all, i enjoyed playing this a lot, really great job!!
Well done.
It's a really interesting idea, and the execution is very good as well
I could never do legs thick enough, apparently... :S
Sometimes it's hard to get the right shape – e.g. I gave up on weasel. Good for learning English words: as a non-English-native, I am not good at naming animal parts, but this game surely helps to improve it. Especially great game for young children.
Bonus points for your love of animals – I hope that includes goats and cats too. ;) (Btw, can you transform an animal to a goat in this game?)
Glad to see a female programmer – although the female-to-male ratio is getting better and I see many girls in video game development, they seem to be still scarce in programming.
Catchy background music and adorable little pets. :)
I have to dock some stars off for the delay though...
Just kidding! You get 5x7 stars! ;D
Really well polished entry and it fits perfectly with the theme! The amount of stuff you managed to cram into this game is astounding! From all the various animals and dialouges, to the little animations here and there.
Really well done, nice work!! :)
I had a little difficulty with the controls though, especially with the parts that could freely rotate like the ears.
Also, while hints were given towards success, I felt like I was guessing too much as to the correct shapes or thrown off when my conception of a specific animal was rejected. Perhaps a silhouette or other visual hint could be given after a number of attempts or even once for every animal?
Also funny to know that people have bears as pets HAHA! Congratulations, good work!
Another think I liked a lot is how simple this game is. The graphics, the game mechanics, the dialogue windows fit each other very well and make it a really fun game without over-complicating it.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
