I really loved how cute/minimal/isolated this is at the same time. I found it pleasurable to experience this lost forever, broken videogame for at least a minute. So many games like this will never see the light of day...

Thank you for your comment! I’m glad you enjoyed this little game :)

Thank you!

I'm monkey braining pretty hard over here. How do I open the egg?

You have to trigger some events, like the food and the toy buttons :D just go over them with the arrow keys and soon enough you will get to the pet!

I really wish i could play this game, but after trying to name my pet, i'm absolutely stuck :c it says to charge the device and gives instructions but they don't really do anything, and it just ends up with a constant loop. Or is it supposed to do that? I really love the look and feel of this game otherwise though!

Thank you for playing! That's how the game's supposed to end :')

PS: I'm thinking about making a part two, updating the game to make it longer :D

Hello, I made an account just to comment on your game. I have been stuck for who knows how long trying to figure out what to do. My egg hasn't hatched. The comments make me really want to play this game, not sure what I'm doing wrong/not doing. But, I'm sure it is amazing. :)

Hi there! First of all thank you for creating an account so you could comment here, I’ll try my best to help without spoiling anyone :D

The first thing you will want to do is get food for your pet. After you read what that food button is about, you go ahead and trigger the food again. Then you go on like this with the other buttons!

The game is based on trigger events so sometimes it may lead you to a dead end, but that doesn’t mean you are playing it the wrong way!

Please feel free to tell me if my explanation is understandable, I hope you have fun next time! <3

Thank you so much! You directions was extremely helpful. (I'm kinda surprised that I didn't get it sooner.) It was a very cute and short game, wish I had more time with out little bat friend!

Such flow of nostalgia was SUDDENLY *spoilers* =D. Thank you for that experience =D. You just slapped my childhood =D

Thank you so much! <3 The game will always be here if you ever feel like going back to childhood again :D

This is really neat! I've recently been on a virtual pet kick, and for a while had a very broken one that sped through it's clock at about an hour every 5 real-life seconds. So as someone who has had a very busted one myself, this was a fun little game!

Thank you! <3 I'm glad you came by this game and got to experience yet another virtual pet - even if broken hehe :D

I was going to call mine chiropteram, but then the device just gained a mind of its own... 

Very well made and entertaining ;)

Thank you! I’m sure the pet would love that name hehe <3

I think I'm doing something wrong. Turns out I'm bad at charging a broken virtual pet. What I got through was enjoyable and took a little time to figure out

Don’t worry, it’s just a broken game after all ;) thank you for playing! <3

I really enjoyed playing this game! Nostalgic and spooky. Your bat bunny is also really cute! :-)

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it <3
