But it broke my heart when those aliens...and Bob...Oh shit, I can't do this anymore, I miss Bob :cry:
Great entry, keep making games!
The evolutions were nice and they were satisfying. Great game!
The pacing seemed a little iffy, you might want to give the player some indication that they're making progress, either by telling them that time is a factor early on(I think that's true?) or through some sort of gauge.
Also, I think the R key resets the game, which generally makes sense, but is a little inconvinient when trying to type a name with an R in it.
It's kinda sad that Truche went with his people but well, that's life I suppose. :<
Anyway, simple but well made little game. It made me a bit nostalgic of my tamagotchi in the 90's.^^
The gameplay is correct, maybe adding a bit more feedback could help understand a bit more some things in the game (like the pacing, you don't really know how much you have to wait, that kind of things). I didn't really got to see if there is a difference if you feed him with Pizza or Bread, etc.. I tried to give him a bit of each and it seemed to please Truche.
The music and SFX are great. The volume is a bit too loud imho but it goes really well with the game and its mood.
As for the graphics, it's correct. Simple but it does the job. ^^ I like the color palette, it gives a fun & light vibe to the game. Oh and Truche was cute! ^^
Good job! o/
