very cute art! I also liked the sound design :)

Nice little game :D
Maybe adding more mini games and don't selecting them randomly would be better :)

Submitted(+3)

That was dark :(

Great idea, and well put together. In future, when you have something selected randomly I'd recommend doing some kind of shuffling instead of having it purely random to avoid accidental repetition (I got catch like 5 times in a row)

I felt so sad when I my owner left...real tears were shed. SUCH A FUN GAME. I loved trying to figure out what to do and the various commands that the owner gives to the players. GOOD JOB!!

Thanks, now I can't stop thinking about all the tamagotchis I've left in drawers over the years. The stretchy dog on the results screen is adorable though. I think it would be nice if the player's interest filled back up a little bit as you do well on the minigames and they could be spaced out a little, at one point I had catch the ball 4 times in a row, then 1 roll over, then back to 2 more catch the balls, but I'm looking forward to seeing if you develop it further with more minigames post-jam. Great job!

Cool game! The effect when you mess up ends up all over your face and disrupts the gameplay, maybe just have a low opacity red screen pop up when you get hurt. Great game, well done!

Could you play my game? I would really appreciate it, thanks!

I already did

Nice job if a little depressing. My only issue is I couldn't figure out the timing of the dance party minigame. Great job!

Submitted(+1)

An interesting concept! If I had one critique, it would be that there aren't enough minigames, but there's only so much that can be done in 48 hours. Good job!

Developer

I wanted to add more games but ran out of time! Had a lot of family stuff going on latley. Had a lot of fun making this, and might expand on it in the future.

Made me sad about all the abandoned Nintendogs, 10/10

The music is really good!

Submitted(+1)

Haha, I loved the WarioWare vibe of the game!  The hectic and quick minigames kept my attention! Of course I would have loved more minigames, but I understand the short time limit for the jam likely restrained that! I also loved the music and sound effects! It all created a fun and humorous game! Great job :)

Developer(+1)

yeah I wanted to make more but I restarted halfway through the jam with a new concept (this game) and other things going on in my life also added to the time restriction. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

very nice concept, i like the reverse theme applied on "you have to entertain the player! keep going on!

Submitted(+1)

at the end:
Looooong Dooooog

Submitted(+1)

Haha I loved the wide stretch at the end! Was fun, good job.

Entertaining a player is hard haha
Cool game,  the art and the music gives a unique mood to the game!
