cool and cozy game with really nice art! it could use a bit more feedback, as i didn't really understand that i'd bought something in the shop, for example. other than that it's well made!
Thanks! I think thats a really good point. It can be hard to tell when you buy or sell something.
Superb! I really enjoyed this! Nailed the theme, very cute, very autumn and even had a little Carmen Sandiego-ish detective character. The aliens stole my Pup-kin, so I wasn't happy about that! I would add a few more little sound effects for each of the items you give the pupkin and maybe a few more interactions to do within the playspace even if they are just visual touches like rocking the other pumpkins back and forth or rustling the trees. But those are just extras if you were to develop it further. Solid entry, I loved it!
Thanks for playing through the game! I think adding those interaction would be a rally good way to make the scene come alive. I appreciate the feedback!
Good game! The shop feature was good, but I never got enough money for the radio. I like all the little details alot!
Thanks! Shop took me a while to figure out, but so glad i got it in.
Great game! I loved the background art/animation here, the way the moon moves and the stars sparkle -- it's a great example of using your pixels to great effect. Maybe most of all, the colors were really well chosen for the layers and the way the colors drifted from day to night -- it really made the scene for me. The dialogue was funny and the game was fun; it took me a bit to find the money-making strategy, which is nice. Was I the only one who fed that egg thing cherry pie and hoped something would happen? Nice work!
Haha, maybe cherry pie wil do something in the future. I happy to hear you enjoys the art and story for the game :)
Aww, that's adorable! I loved the character of the pupkin and how you managed to make it so expressive! I believe that's a fundamental point of a tamagotchi-like game, and you nailed it smoothly with the artwork and the dialogues: congrats!
I'm also happy to have bough the radio and to have seen the end: it's nice to see that you provided a conclusion for the game, it makes everything more coherent and satisfying :) Thanks, I loved it!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you got to the end. It took me so much more time to animate that than I thought it would, but I think it was worth it :)
It was definitely worth it! It makes the game stand out a little bit more and be remembered better :)
Very cozy tamagotchi game! The artwork was very adorable, I loved watching pupkin's reaction to things. Well done!
Thank you so much! I had a fun time making the artwork for the game :)
A cozy game about taking care of an adorable money pooping pumpkin. I enjoyed myself! I found the most optimal purchasing strategy fairly fast, but I could also easily see the mechanics expanded beyond that by offering more ways to care for your pupkin. I am still intensely curious what the pupkin's gift is. Look forward to a sequel!
Thanks! I would love to add more things to do in the future. Already have a few things in mind 😁
Nicely done!
Came for the Steven Universe reference, stayed for the Tamagotchi/Slime Rancher style game :D
A very cute game with a cute pumpkin. I really liked how the pumpkin smiles when I stroke it.. Only, it seems to me, a little more sounds are missing. Overall the game feels polished. I like it.
Thanks for trying it! Glad you liked it :)
This is pretty cool! I like how laid back this game is. the only thing i found odd is how the small font makes the letter 'e' and 'o' look almost identical with only a 1 pixel difference. aside from that, I had fun playing this game and I want myself a pupkin pet too... well one that doesn't drain all my money in a short period time. nice job!
Yep, definitely agree about the font.
Fun and cozy tamagochi, I love it! Colors and art is great, too. Unfortunately, I had some trouble reading the text in-game, but it didn't have much impact on the fun! Great work, keep it up!
Thank you!! I definitely need to update the font. I went too low res..
Genius combination, this should be expanded upon
Thank you!! So much more I wanted to add, but I love what I managed to get done this time :)
