I was thinking to myself "ha ha this is cute" and then I saw my own decaying corpse. The massive eye is absolutely terrifying. I couldn't really tell when I was about to die but I think the UI must have been messed up for me or something. Good job!

Love the idea of a reverse pet game. I'd love to see it expanded, it can make an interesting stealth puzzle game. Having to manage both the timer and needs of the player were fun while exploring the stage. I think there's room to improve the mechanics on how the player can escape, especially if the exit is hidden away.
ohh this was secretly terrifying but I thought it was a phenomenally well-polished game. Great job on the scope!
the pixel art is so polished, the presentation for this game is phenomal! really interesting concept and nice execution as well
Really liked the pixel art and the character designs. Also the concept is really interesting.
Love that little guy, eyes always turned upward to see his captor coming, smiling as if nothing is wrong while thinking 'No way i'm gonna end up like fred, just lying there rotting away! Yes, watch me eat, watch me shower, don't wonder why boxes that took my five punches to break now fly into pieces at my slightest touch, it has nothing to do with those brick walls!'.
Really cool atmosphere, very well done!
There seems to be a slight bug when colliding horizontally with walls when jumping, but nothing major.
Loved it, I actually laughed when it booted. This is a very clever Idea and it's nicely executed. Loved the visuals as well. I feel bad for tamagotchis now.
This idea is great! The artstyle was nice and having to manage your needs was a good challenge. The concept weirdly reminds me a lot of the escapists, with having to manage your routines while eating away at an escape method. It may be interesting to, like the escapists, have multiple methods of escape to incentivize replayability. Great job overall!
This is such a polished and creative entry! I really liked the horror feeling of being watched by the owner, the big eye was terrifying. I encountered a bug where I stopped moving but I restarted because it was just so fun! Great job with this one.
The game is really really polished and really pleasant to the eyes! had a good time playing it so congrat's! sadly i got a bug at a moment where i was stuck mid air and i couldn't move anymore, but the game is still good!
The art is very good and the little guy is CUTE! I really enjoyed balancing priorities and making sure I don't get caught. Great work!
The pixel art looks very good and the colour palette used too :D I really like the concept and had a lot of fun playing the game.
The best version of "tamagochi trying to escape" I've seen so far! Gj!
Really great idea for the theme and enjoyed playing this one well done. I was determined to escape! I also thought of doing a Tamagotchi type game at the start of the jam, so I'm glad to see that someone went with that idea :)
