Great game, we were thinking about doing something very similar but I'm glad we didn't cause we wouldn't make it better than this! I was actually really spooked playing this, so that was a great success. Improvements to the camera and platforming controls would be nice, and also displaying more clearly that the time passes more quickly when you punch the barriers.

That's pretty neat idea for a game, especially with the story you've given. Kinda adds an extra layer that works for Jam's theme.
Having a player actually look at your pet was a nice touch, giving it a bit of horror feel (especially with that red tint in the restricted area). Definitely can see this potentially becoming a full game with a bigger story and mechanics.
Good job!
The graphics are gorgeous and cute. I really like the way you suddenly turn the cute aesthetic environment to a scary one when being watched. It has just the right feel. 5 stars from me :)
I like the horror take of the tamagochi escape style of games. Its quite scary when the eye is watching you and you must act "normal". Good job!
A bit confusing to begin with but pretty nice. Still a bit buggy but that's understadable. The "escaped" menu could be more... rewarding :))
I died at the end, but I guess that count as escaping XD. Good game.
Interesting concept amazing art! Liked the game! A bit confusing at start but getting more clear after few tries. Well done!
Cool game, love the styling and theming. The management elements also felt legitimate and needed, rather than ignored or over the top. Nice submission!
I positively adore this concept, finally a game like this where the player is actually the little monster themselves. I wanted to play just by the concept alone, and it was indeed a fun experience! I'm compelled to save the little guy... fantastic work! I would love to see this fully cleaned up some day!
Not bad! I like the concept (kinda wanna steal it for something haha). Great Stuff!
Interesting concept, great pixel art and design, could use some work on the controls to feel a little more engaging but had a bit of fun getting through it
