Thank you for the game!

I have to admit that I haven't had the chance to test this game on the phone, as it seems to be intended to. Also, I only played for 5 minutes instead of the whole day. So my experience of it is not quite complete.

Nevertheless, it was interesting to guess how Zoey will react to different actions. With the lack of clear indication of her state, the game kept me guessing when is she still hungry, and when offering her more food will annoy her. I wish there were more visual clues as to her conditions (different animations for fed and happy states). Her hide-and-seek animation was very cute :)

Also, the randomized background and the real-time timer were nice little touches too!

Developer

Thanks for playing! 

 It has some animations for hungry and bored, it gets angry when you try to feed her when she's already full (the same concept for playing/petting), those stats (the only stats that there are in the game) are hidden and decrease over time. if those stats go below 0 she either dies or run away. 

The game was kind of intended as a demo for the jam, so it doesnt have a lot more to it, I wanted to do more idle animations + old stage zoey, but didnt have enough time

I really liked the cat tail. Made from pixels, it looks surprisingly alive. Although angry cat is very frustrating for me. Are you planning to complete development?

Developer

Thanks for playing! I actually wanted to test unity bones, and the tail was great for that, I only drew the tail, super simple, once, and then the bones do all the magic :)
I dont intend to complete the development, if you are interested I can make the code public. I dont think the game has market potential, and completing it would require me to do a lot of art/animations, characters, etc which I dont really want to.

Thanks for the answer! Well, market orientation is an understandable motive. I hope the skills you have gained will be useful to you in future projects. No code, thanks, I'm not a programmer :)
Tamagotchi cat in my heart <3

I love the animations on this! It has so much personality! I especially love how the tail flicks and the anger animation for a full Zoey. I also like the touch of showing the current time in the corner that's neat!

You also made Zoey look adorable in this!
