I picked this up without reading the description, so when it opens with "are you a boy or a girl" I honestly just thought I was going to have to choose, and I clicked "boy"... and then it was like "NO" and I was like "oh... oh my god, yes..."
I've loved pokemon as long as I can remember, but that question vexes me. It's almost a relief to play gen 1 and not have to choose at all, though being masc-leaning is probably part of that too...
This really captures the feeling of loving and caring for these creatures in a way that I felt was portrayed in the pokemon anime, but less so in the games and even less in other monster taming games out there. The protagonist's empathy for all the familizards was something really relatable to me, and I was really touched by the part when just imagining the familizards helped them feel better.
Thank you for this experience. It warmed my heart.
Haha thank you! Yeah it's real short XD I made it in only a week for a game jam. I haven't come up with an idea that I really want to do for the next part, but I'd like to someday.
Because of the pandemic I picked up a pokémon game for the first time in a while and the experience is still fresh in my mind, so your game feels extra *~great~*.
[Even though I identify myself as a girl, I can't help feeling uncomfortable with the way the character is chosen... idk]. Your game really struck a chord. Got me thinking about rom hacking too.
Oh, and the familizards?! Very cute!? 10/10 would love them forever.
A nice little game, giving a glimpse into nonbinary life for all of us binary folks. I'm sad that it ended when it did, but actually coding a riff on Pokémon would lead to quite the "cascading scope explosion," so I suppose it was necessary.
Like, this is so good, and even though having a pet like that is kind of a very used trope, it's original. I read some comments and I believe that it's bc you "lack concept" or smthing¿ I loved this game and representation is just "thisisthebest". So... I was wondering if once in a while I could send you some ideas that you may get inspiration from? idk they would probably suck but I bet that you would come up with something really cool. But only if you want to, you're probably busy with your other proyects so it's totally ok if you don't want them <3 a my awkward self came out xd Well yeah, loved the game neat concept u u

Then ending was so heartwarming! Would love to see a longer follow-up to this. Just adorable!
I'm crying...

Aw I'm so glad! Yeah, I'm definitely influenced by the anime in that regard. I just love pokemon and other monsters/pets. <3

XD Thank you very much!
I'm glad some more games have been moving past strict boy/girl divisions but they usually still make you pick, huh?

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and especially that it felt so good on the heels of an actual pokemon game! ^_^

Thank you! Yes, I uh am unfortunately quite drawn to projects of the cascading scope explosion variety... XD
