The bars are not too hard to maintain, and I have been able to raise a happy full size pet rock :)
Funny game, would be nice with some sound affects of the actions you're taking. A nice little time waster but alas, lacks any replaybility unless you added in different types of rocks like Igneous or Metamorphic. Maybe swap the TV for a radio to play some classic rock...
Sadly I couldnt make that on time, but maybe I will add that in the future.
My rock grew 3x size. I thought it'd die if it doesn't have enough food or sleep. But it didn't. Because it's a rock...
Is there a problem with the cursor ?
I laughed a lot thank you !!!
Fun silliness. I enjoyed playing through.
one thing I would add is sound ;)
All the little interactions were fun to play with, and at first it seemed way to easy, but getting that last growth stage was pretty tough. Trying to balance all the different needs.
Some sounds would be nice, but you seemed to get a lot in with the different mini games. Sound i'm sure wasn't a priority.
Overall great entry.
@silurus The cursor is disabled during the petting tool is selected, because it looked dumb with the cursor above the hand. But it should get reenabled once another tool is selected. Did that not work for you?
@nihushu The rock should fall asleep when there was no interaction in the last 2 seconds. (Feeding and petting or swinging the rod also counts as interaction). I know that it doesn't make that much sense that it eats while being outside, this was a bug I just didn't have the time for fixing.
