Took me a game to really figure out how it worked but then it clicked for me. I like how you can get more eggs by clicking on the hut to speed up the early game for experienced players. \n\nSome critters, I find, are far worse than other, the ghost is far better than the spiky one, so it does feel luck based sometimes. But all the deaths are preventable if you are just fast enough. Would be interesting to watch some Starcraft pro play this game.\n\nGood use of the theme, really like the graphics and sound, wish there was some music. Overall a great game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nucleose","author_uid":"1053433","time":"2017-12-07T00:03:29Z","epoch":1512605009,"modified":1512605009,"text":"So sad that this hasn't been getting attention!

I love the graphics and sound effects of the different critters. It gets pretty challenging trying to manage all of them.

Not only does it feel full, but it also seems brimming with the kind of charisma and potential that could eventually make it into a full-fledged game. I'd really like to see something like this go bigger.\n\nThe spritework is simple, but perfect. The pets all look and behave different, so there's no confusion at all. Only a very fast paced multitasking. I really felt like a pet sitter losing my marbles.\n\nFantastic entry.

The game is really fun and have a lot of potential.\n\nIf I have to nitpick I'd say the scoring need some improvement. Right now it's not clear to me whether I should try for higher earning or longer run or more pet cared. There should be some kind of central scoring system.\n\nRegardless I rated it 5 stars overall because damn I don't need any scoring to fall in love with this gameplay!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"junjunlowpoly","author_uid":"1010526","time":"2017-12-15T05:35:56Z","epoch":1513316156,"modified":1513316156,"text":"This is one of the best games I've rated for this LD!\n\nThe mechanism is simple - but the characteristic of each type of pets putting together brings so much possibilities. It's the most strategic and intense virtual pet game that I've ever seen. Currently it seems that the features of different pets are kinda scattered around different aspects so that not every subset of pets result in interesting interactions which makes the game less coherent. But I imagine in a more mature version the pets can be more carefully designed and result in a really amazing game.\n\nI also like the retro art style and SFX a lot.\n\nGreat game!
