The game works by clicking one of the orange buttons, moving the cursor to drag the new object around, and clicking again to place down your item. See the lower left corner in the start menu for screenshake & music options.

Everything (modeling, animating, programming, UI) except for sounds and background music done by me within the 3 day time limit. Please check the link for the background music loop.

Very neat game! I love the idea of modifying the environment and the art style. Since you can stop time to place item down, it wasn't challenging enough after a while but it make the game quite relaxing and fun to play. Great job!

Like the artstyle, and the sound design is pretty nice. I feel stopping the time whenever you are placing an item removes all challenge. But overall I enjoyed the concept!

This looks amazing! I wish I could put something like this in a month. But 3 days? Wow ... Love the graphics and the colors

I love the concept and the artwork. If you expanded a bit on it and released it for mobile devices, I could see this being a hit.

Impressive that you did all the assets yourself! I definitely thought the models were premade assets. I enjoyed the game, but felt it was too easy. I would love to see some modifications that would increase the difficulty

Great game! Good graphics, fun music! I liked the idea, how responsive the buttons were and how fun the placing of the items was. Though on my third try my pets decided to go god mode and clipped through the floor, so they achieved eternal life. Happy end. :cat: :dog:

After 2km I stopped saving the pets, as I felt the game was too repetitive and there was no challenge as the difficulty kept being the same. The first few obstacles were a little bit too fast and it was hard to grasp how to circumvent them, but after that it was pretty easy. I think the game would benefit from a rising difficulty and also from not being able to stop the time forever. Maybe make the pauses limited and limit the time more the further you get. To make the controls easier, you could maybe add hotkeys, so could select the objects with 1, 2, 3, 4.

Nonetheless the game feels very polished and the art looks very nice. Good job, the only issue I felt was the aforementioned difficulty problem.
