Love the idea of different minigames for different stats!
I think making game harder(maybe by making stats decrease faster) woulb be a good idea

Dude you UI is not responsive half of your UI is off the screen did you check the game after you built
Tip: In your Canvas select Scale with Screen size

@vasuka thanks for your feedback :) stats decrease faster every 60s, but maybe it's too long you right. We'll balance this point this evening
happy that you're enjoy our game ^^

@vishwah, yes we check the game after the built of course, but we noticed just this morning this problem on an other computer. We'll fix it this evening after work:) We hope you'll retry the game after that...
Thanks for the tip ;)

Nice little game, although I noticed the bars still going down, despite almost flawlessly doing the minigames. The little 4 key memory game seemed properly balanced, but it would've been nice for the other minigames to have been a bit faster. Had fun :)

I like the design of Groudou. The minigames are cool, though they're incredibly easy and it doesn't seem to ramp up in difficulty (or it's very slow at it). I love the voice acting, ha! Very fun. Nice work.

lol this is a very creative entry not the most polished but I honestly think that gives it a lot of charm, very intriguing game. I enjoyed it. Also the minigames were decently done.

Really cute game! I love the creature and the idea. I could do with a little more guidance in the minigames, like a little pop-up tutorial to tell how to play each one? And some feedback when you refill the gauges successfully would be helpful too. I like the music you picked and laughed out loud when Groudou went Super Saiyan! xD Really cute game and good effort!

Too much delay after Space Bar battle.

Love that voice acting! The idea with 3 different minigames is cool. And the recovery option makes the game a bit more forgiving(which is not a bad thing because the bar gets more difficult too).
I like it. :)

hello @kimberly , thanks for your feebacks.The bars decrease faster every 40s. Point taken for the difficulty, there several of you said that some minigames are too easy , we'll try to balance this at the end of the rate. Happy you spend good time with Groudou :)

hello @100th-coin thank you very much for your feedback, the difficulty increase every 40s and when the bars are too low, but we'll try to balance this at the end of the LD. Happy you have fun with Groudou (and his pretty voice ;) )

Hi @bridgefromtv thank you very much ^^ It's suppose to be a sound to notice you that you succeded , but it's maybe not loud enough, we'll fix it. Noted for the tutorial, it's a very good idea. Happy you like Groudou and his evolution ;)

It's a neat little game. A bit like the tamagotchi.

really liked the game concept! a light Wario Ware vibe with the manic switching game modes, curious on how you went about the brain game mode

So it's an accelerated Tamagotchi kind of deal :D Switching between different mini-games to fill the progress bars is a fun take on instability. I could see an issue with the green minigame design: once you switch to it, you have to wait for the first arrow to reach the line, and it takes too long for how dynamic the game is. You're pulled out of the loop and have to waste time waiting while the other progress bars keep falling. I think making the games more “immediately accessible” would be beneficial.

The voice acting was impeccable!

Nice little game :smile: it's fun to play once or twice, the sounds are funny, and it fits the theme, well, perfectly. I see someone's already mentioned the green minigame issue. So sad I couldn't get to 10 000.

I could not figure out the blue potion, but that is likely my fault, great game though!

I love minigames. I struggled to get the blue one to work though. Thanks for sharing!

The game was a round package, the music was not bad, the graphics were not bad, the game mechanics were not bad as well. But on the other hand were all sections not exceptional either.

You did well on the balancing though, the game felt challenging and got even more, the further one progressed.

All in all, I'd say solid submission :)

I have some difficults to regen red and green bars, as I can't be faster than the game ! (I think ?)

please don't be angry groudou, i'm not very good at DDR :sob: nice game! choosing when to switch between the minigames was an interesting tradeoff.

@alyd-asmar I had to lock up my elbow and force the feeling in my arm to shake reflexively lol. That Groudou sure mashes spacebar fast!
