As stated, in web version is a little buggy, yet it's pretty fun. Will replay.

A very silly concept! The minigames were fun, and I loved the fake pink shell. That being said, even the downloaded game was a bit buggy and I wasn't really sure what I was doing wrong/right in lot of the minigames. The best I got was Day 3. Nice entry!

A really humorous take on the theme, love the idea and premise (and nostalgia!) However, I found I often didn't get to see/read the death screen because I was still button-spamming when I died, which then started a new game... But overall, a very memorable game!

A tomogatchi about taking care of a rock sure gets you a nice high Innovation score! 🤣 I never thought I'd have to take care of a rock like an animal.

Aside from the button spamming most minigames require making it so I missed the death screen most of the time, it's a pretty flawless game! I didn't encounter any glitches aside from a loading issue that was itch.io's fault, not the game's. I'll have to play this again sometime and see if I can make it any farther than Day 3....

Nice work. I had a little problem with translating WASD to the correct key in my head. I would have liked som indication of what button to press with an arrow or souch, but I liked the game. Nice done.

As someone who also made a game about needy "pets" and I have say I like the approach via minigames. I always stuggle to put humour into the game, so taking care of rock is brilliant idea. :D So in short it is inovative, funny and pleasant take on the theme. :)

Fun pet game. I did not know I was so bad at taking care of a rock XD. Such a good fast paced game where at least I knew that I was just delaying the inevitable end.

Really fun game ! I really love the idea and concept
I though the game would be slow and boring because of the pet rock initial concept ( I mean, pet rocks aren't known to be the most lively pet to take care of after all) I was pleasently surprised to see how dynamic and fun it was actually ! Congratulations

Reminds me warioware! I would increase a little time in the first levels, because you feel a lot of pressure from the beginning, or maybe I'm just bad :D anyway funny entry and I really liked it!

I'm so bad at quick time events since I can never remember the positions of the buttons, but this game is very cute and well done! Great job!

Finally get to Day 4 after back and forth so many times. Fun to play with those mini game. I wonder if my pet would grow, become a bigger rock later?

A super simple gameplay idea, and I overall had fun playing the game.
