I loved the art style and how the different pets would morph into larger versions of themselves!

The tiny tapes to the bigger tape, great creature designs. Some sound effects could've made it even better (such as coin blips) or other things, but this is definitely a game you could leave running while... \"working\".

The game sort of pushes you\ntowards growing as many pets as possible, but nothing changes when you do                 \nand the framerate doesn't withstand it for long.\n\nAlso: needs sound!  Basic video game bleeps and boops are super easy to generate with online tools, and\nit would have made the game feel a lot more finished with not much effort.\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1111737,"author_name":"Adrien Tremblay","author_uid":"adrien-tremblay","epoch":1728845911,"text":"Art was sooooo cute.
