Really fun to play! I wish more could have been done to explore the core concept further but the movement mechanics feel fun to use, and although the concept is a bit simple the game still feels cohesive. Nice work!
Thanks very much!
The turtles look super cute! It’s sad that they explode when you touch them, but I read in a comment of yours that they are supposed to explode into little hearts. So that’s a bit of a consolation.
Thanks, I know next time I will try to make things more obvious.
That was a really cute game. It has really smooth, albeit somewhat lackluster animations, the audio was alright, and the idea was nice. Though the gameplay kinda fell flat. The gameplay was a little annoying. The turtles constantly looking at you makes it hard to pet them. Anyway, good game.
I like the concept, though not sure why petting a turtle would make it explode...maybe it's a special breed of turtle.
After a while of not really getting the hang of the dash, I figured that if I just circled the turtle enough I was able to get behind them. Also the black spaces did serve well as obstacles but they also left you with a lot of blank space or unused space on screen. Nice job though!
Thanks. I will try to improve next time. The red explosion was meant to be hearts, but my artistic skills are lacking.
Free rating :)
Thanks :)
That was a very cute game! The sounds were great! Really liked the animations! It was actually fun! Congrats! ^^
Thanks, really appreciate.
This game is kinda metal, the spooky monsters sounds, exploding into blood when you pet them
i like it
Thanks :)

Thank you for your feedback!
This game is fun to play and I like the monster's sound. :)
Thank you very much!

Dam the green guys are hard to pet or maybe I'm just bad. Simple easy to understand and fun. when you don't play full screen the borders of the game don't function correctly (you can leave the map on the sides)
Thanks for the feedback.
Wow this is hard - really hard - like the dark souls of animal petting games. I would very much like to see arrow keys implemented because for some reason movement with WASD and Shift is difficult. Great job on submitting!
Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely try to implement arrow movement in my future games.
