Really cute game! The first thing that impressed me the most was the artstyle. It's adorably hand-drawn, but then it blew my mind when I realized the room was actually 3D! The only thing I'll have to be nitpicky about is how there's no volume to the fridge compared to all the other 3D objects. Otherwise, the way you combined both styles is very impressive and aesthetically pleasing! The controls are very simple (i.e. feed, pick up poops, and play), which I know was made that way purposefully from reading one of your replies that said, "I was conflicted about whether I wanted to add stats in a UI since I wanted my target players to be younger kids." That is completely understandable. I'm just really disappointed that I couldn't see my dino baby grow big and strong! The last thing I wanted to point out was that my TV didn't show anything when I clicked on it, I'm not sure if that's because I only played in a browser, but every time I clicked on it sometimes it would cut out the background music, sometimes not. So I assume that visuals were supposed to show.
Overall, this is an innovative online Tamagotchi for today's young children that may of not had them. It was so nostalgic for me though! I'm not going to take into consideration my nitpickiness since this game is meant for kids, and the possible glitch I experienced might be because I did not download the game. Personally, I would give this game 4 out of 5 stars!

Thank you for the awesome review. I really appreciate it :) Definitely had room to clean up art and add more stuff. Wish I fleshed out the gameplay some more too haha You are right about the TV, it doesnt seem to work on the web build but should work fine on the windows build! Thanks again for the rating!!
It's been really fun to watch this project grow - and it was finally time to try it out! :D I absolutely LOVE the artstyle in this. Felt my parenting skills got put to the test again when a baby cries without words and I do not know how to make them happy... but hey - a pizza solves most problems even in dino-land! ;D
I wish you the best of luck in the jam! :D
Thanks!! It's mostly a click-around/interactive game to hang out with your pet (play with blocks, watch tv). Make sure to clean up after them and keep them well fed so they don't cry. I was conflicted about whether I wanted to add stats in a UI since I wanted my target players to be younger kids. But this is how it ended up turning out :) Webgl build coming soon if we get to update our game!
I had a lot of fun playing with its blocks! And I immediately grew attached to my baby Dino. Really cute virtual pet
