How does your game fit the theme?
The game is set in a terrarium where you, are represented by a large hand which contrasts with a very small critter in your care. We use scale within the environment art, applying a tilt shift effect for emphasis. The story also explores relationship building and the scale of time.

Super cozy game! Really great work.
Such a cute game omg. Be careful though they bite XD
Do not bite the hands that feed!
Cute game! The music is really peaceful. Also I felt like the hand was a little slow to follow your mouse but it wasnt too bad
Our musician loves that you enjoyed the music!
With our approach to the hand movement, we aimed to sell the scale of the player. Just as a colossus is sluggish when compared to a human, we are sluggish when compared to a mouse.
Thanks for playing!
I couldn't figure out how to give a bath;; It's a very adorable game! I especially love the design of the starting screen.
brushy brushy
:P
Very unique idea - haven't played a tamagotchi game in probably 20 years? The accidents that can happen with the hammer are pure comedy! Would love to see more gameplay!
Thanks for playing. Please be careful when brushing and feeding too ;)
Cure game, I enjoyed doing the tasks for the pet and the visuals look really nice, although there were a few accidents with the big hammer. Well done on the game!
I LOVEEE THE CRITTER,,, I WOULD PET THEM!!!!!
Really fun and cute game! I did have a bit of a misunderstanding at the naming part though, and uhhhh....
But apart from that mistake on my part this game was really good, I loved the different task you could do and the... "casualties" that may occur. Overall, 15/15 game
Gonna quote this review in our trailer XD
Thanks for exploring our game!
Cute game! Now I'm scarred for life. Just kidding. The hammer interacting with the house just felt like I was trying to get to collision shapes to interact and didn't feel like building or hammering. Overall a fun game with a lovable little character!
I beat the game! I squashed my little guy but I think I had just managed to trigger the end screen, because it said to restart - but then I got the end screen! I got lucky I guess :D
A creative take on the theme, the art works really well for it. And I loved that you could name your little pet, that's awesome. Well done!
Now that was... unexpected. I felt so bad as a player aaaah but I think the dev has successfully shocked and immersed me in this one. Enjoyable gameplay with shock value for sure. The 2D and 3D visual combination is also very creative. Good job on this game, now I would like to take care of another tamagotchi.
Very cute and cozy game, I felt so bad the first time I killed the little critter. Very well done!
Very impressive for such a short dev time! Buildable house is a nice addition. Great graphics!
Omg noooo it all happened so fast... Steve...
So cute, great work! Hammering the house was a little funky and I think the hand movement could've been a little more responsive, but in general thought it was cute and fun!
I like the idea and feel of the game!
It's so cute and emotionally scarring. everything I want in a Tamagotchi game!
Very cute!!
Loved it, very cute all the way through. Even at the end it finished with one of my favourite Dr Seuss quotes!
Really love the art style, game reminds me of old school tamagotchi game where you need to keep care of a small creature too lol
