It feels like playing Club Penguin with puffles, it's really a shame it doesn't have sounds at all

Fun game and nice concept. Only downside is the lack of audio. Love the artwork :D

The executions is realy good. Its fun to play and I love that your rock grows bigger. ı would enjoy a music in the background. You can find copyright free songs online or unity asset store. Other than that it's an enjoyable game. Good Job!

Cool idea and implementation ! A nice game which makes the player smile and in a good mood.
The bars are not too hard to maintain, and I have been able to raise a happy full size pet rock :)

My rock is all grown up now! I want to kick it out of the house to go get a job -_-

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...

@kjscott Actually I had even planned that the rock would put on a hat, take a suitcase, and leave the house once it reaches its biggest form.
Sadly I couldnt make that on time, but maybe I will add that in the future.

That is a silly little game =)
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...

I really liked this cute rock, it was really nice to walk him around.
Is there a problem with the cursor ?

I laughed a lot thank you !!!

That rock eats a lot of food for a rock.

Fun silliness. I enjoyed playing through.

Interesting game :D, There should be an option to let him rest because I needed to go outside everytime I wanted to make him go asleep. Also there's a bug. When he's outside he shouldn't be able to eat

I wished that the final form would have been a mountain, but a boulder is a fine pet too! I had fun, it was simple fun to keep all the bars high. Great job!

Fun concept! I expected from the title that it would be a joke game with just a rock and nothing happening, so I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of interactivity. I especially liked the rod.

one thing I would add is sound ;)

Yay I got a full sized rock.
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.

Thank you all for the great feedback!

@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.

Very cool game! It was very fun to try to balance all different levels, while still letting it sleep when needed.
