Interesting and simple game. I feel I was really struggling a lot with the minigames due to the paw's hitbox being unclear (I do like the design though). I also feel night one is really short compared to the following one.
Good entry overall!

How does the game fit the theme?
The dog needs to take care of a date, and "nothing could o wrong" on it, right? well, you are there to find out..!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made the dog sprites, the tentacles, the date and owner, and the sfx, plus music... all gdscript in godot made by me too.
Tile sets, and some ambiance sfx I bought from libaries on itch.io.

You have no idea how thankful I am with these in depth reviews. Thanks a bunch for all the points. Difficulty at the last day is 100% too hard, and to be rebalanced for a next iteration. Fair also comments about the distraction management and the minigames, I also agree I need to polish those more so they are *crisp* and feel good. again, thanks for all these points, these ar ethe kind of feedback that really helps me grow as a developer.
Thank you! 100% agree, the difficulty has to be rebalanced and make it more clear what to do to have the Win state. about the pixels, I suck at seeing that haha so thanks for the feedback! any way or source wher ei can learn to identify this? I normally just do stuff that I like and put it on the game XD
I really like this pixel art youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@BJGpixel, but For me when I do pixel art in games, I try to keep the pixel sizes roughly the same for each sprite and keep the art of the sprites as cohesive (similar style) as possible. I hope this helped! Good luck in the game jam.

Already subscribed! thanks a bunch for the resource, will make the art more similar and aligned next time :)
haha I know... imagine developing the game and hearing those cats the whole last 3 days!
thanks for the real feedback.. yes! I wanted to add a sfx when taking the wires, and also add 2 paws and they "close" once they grab the wire haha also make it more like a wire... but time goes so fast in a Jam! maybe for future iterations (btw the cat in the attic was going to be the Ex of the date... bot oh well!)
Thanks for playing tho! your cooking game was fun ! already rated i :)
I am happy you enjoyed the game, and no worries, 100% was unfair..!! I need to tweak the balance and work on the polish, and I missed the time to add some features and "story" (the "Ex" of the date was going to be a distraction in the attic, not a cat) but I guess part of the fun in Jams is to do the best you can with the crunch :)
You game was awesome btw, thanks for checking out mine
