Awesome concept! I liked a lot all the minigames. It's super cozy overall.

This was super charming and fun, really effective use of simple graphics! The difficulty was nicely balanced + I liked your audio choices a lot too :) Nailed the theme!

I love the idea and style! Really creative for the theme idea, good job!

For a game this cute it got really stressful real fast :D Well done!

Submitted(+1)

Creative use of the theme with a cute visual style! I think my trackpad clumsiness is preventing me from getting much further in the game but I still enjoyed playing and enjoyed the difficulty/chaos balance! Great job :D

This is great, stressful multi-tasking combined with cozy graphics and audio :D

I'm not sure if the slow cursor was intentional or not, but if it wasn't you should look into setting a custom mouse cursor instead of moving a sprite: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/inputs/custom_mouse_cursor.html

Overall a really cute and fun game :)

Developer

Ah thanks! I added a bit of a slowness + acceleration  to the cursor sprite but in retrospect I should’ve sped things up a bit.

The custom cursor reference is nice and would make things simpler, I’ll give it a shot and see if it makes things smooth :)

I really enjoyed the bit where your mom needs the phone and kicks you offline. Very true to life lmao

I died instantly of course, I was focused on gaming. On my second try I managed to beat it. Really great plot twist, concept, execution, the art is great, it's very cozy. Loved it!

Submitted(+1)

Okay, that was brilliant. Forget retro, I think "try to stay in the zone while not completely ignoring your friends" is a game we're still playing in 2026. And that plot twist at the end - spectacular. I really have nothing but compliments for this game; conception, execution and presentation are all immaculate.

Developer

Wow, that's so nice! Thanks for dropping by and for the high praise, super happy you made it to the end :)

It was fun learning about UI in this jam, and trying to squeeze in as much as I could into the screen with control nodes. Wish I could have spent a bit more time on the bootup sequence, I really admired what you were able to accomplish there in your game.

Super cute/charming! The multi-tasking between feeding the tomagachi, typing "true true" and closing out windows was very engaging and fun.

Developer

Thanks for playing, happy you had fun :D

Glad you caught the tamagotchi reference too, since that was the original idea when brainstorming haha.
