Simple, but pretty effective at showing what is needed, espiecially if this is your first jam. \n\nGameplay was ok, but needed more. Fun for a while but I personally lost interest after ~10 mins, that said my tamagotchi died when I used to had it.\n\nTheme-wise, a tamogotchi game fits it almost perfectly - tho is a ghost really alive? hmm >.<\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lestat","author_uid":"1051616","time":"2020-04-21T15:28:17Z","epoch":1587482897,"modified":1587482897,"text":"Fun and fits the theme.
