The 3D models are so, cute. I also love the little word bubbles. Really feels like a tamagotchi. However, I never figured out how to pull the items to the little guy

Very cute and enjoyable game! There are so many incredibly creative decisions made that I really enjoy, the mechanic of pulling the item into the device is really interesting and unique. Overall a very good idea with brilliant execution, I enjoyed this one a lot, great work!

The controls and presentation of the game are really impeccable for a jam, good stuff!
Edit: I just finished the game..... no way lmao, didnt see that coming. I wish the game loop had some variety.

Really enjoyed the graphics of this one, both 3D and 2D- the design choice of dropping the items into the cube was surprising and just lovely. Super nostalgic and a great way to interpret the theme, would've loved if there had been a guide to interpreting the symbols that the slime guy thinks about too.

It looks soooo cute, but honestly I didn't really get the gameplay - was it supposed to be a digital fidget cube or something similar? Anyway, I enjoyed the visual part of the game, as well as the music.

Wow! I almost stopped during the first stage but decided to keep going after seeing @frostbeak's comment. I feel like a lot of people are missing out, ha ha. Is there a way to make him not sad during the second stage? I couldn't figure it out.

Cute and fun Tamagotchi! Pulling the item into the top was a cute mechanic for this type of game. Love the little fella, the visuals, and just generally the presentation was on point. Controls were intuitive, and the little narrative was fun as well! All around, well done!

Really fun cute game, but definitely include in the instructions to drag the items to the hole at the top. I kept trying to drag it in the front of each room.

This is a neat take on the Tamogotchi. It made me fondly remember childhood. The audio design is strong. Good job.
