I tried several times but couldn't get any other good ending.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyways, I liked the game enough to try multiple times before giving up on finding different endings. It's fun trying the different options and seeing what results they bring.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The art is obviously the strongest point of the game. It's very charming and works very well in the game. The only minor flaw I could find was that Nadine's death sprite didn't really have much of an impact.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I disagree with most commenters on the audio. While the background tune is nice, it gets repetitive over time. More importantly, there are countless missed opportunities where the game could be enhanced with sound. Most notably, Nadine's death is soundless with the cutesy tune still playing in the background. Even just muting the sound would have made it much more dramatic, but ideally you'd want a short dramatic BGM and sound effect. Sound could also provide tons of feedback (for example to indicate Nadine's mood changes) or help immersion (eating sounds while eating, etc). The audio's not terrible, but it could have been so much better."},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Nov 14, 2015 @ 4:53pm","epoch":1447519680,"text":"I included your game in an article of my favorites and added a trophy to your profile! http:\/\/fireside.gamejolt.com\/post\/jam-favorites-ludum-dare-33-part-1-uzbzpjci"}],"images":["ld33\/4653-aa2097fec79844f083b17d3bf448bb41.jpg","ld33\/4653-9135c4206bce5f9899712b10e69bf1af.jpg","ld33\/4653-2ed30b2d71e1c72713e9f7bd1f6d6040.jpg","ld33\/4653-32f10630acb449a553e008a8e6029447.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gamejolt.com\/games\/hitogochi\/88591","text":"Web (kinda slow though)"},{"url":"http:\/\/onionblaze.itch.io\/hitogochi","text":"Unity Webplayer\/Windows\/Mac\/Linux\/Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9884","g_author":"4653","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"9918","g_title":"Hitogochi","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"112","g_commentcount":"48","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/4653-shot0-1440417021.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/4653-shot1-1440417021.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/4653-shot2-1440417021.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/4653-shot3-1440417021.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The idea was supposed to be a reversed Tamagotchi, where you ask for things to the person taking care of you.
