Needs a bit more work, like more interactions and maybe a store to buy stuff for it. Decent first effort, though.
Reviews for "Pet Magikarp!"

I do agree that even though this was a joke game, I could have added more interaction with the Magikarp. Thanks for the review :D
A bit pointless.. Fun blowing it up though!
Good idea with poor execution. There's almost nothing to do with this thing whatsoever. I know that this is obviously just supposed to be a joke, but it could've been both fun and a joke, and it's not.
I don't really think you made this game with serious intentions, just because of its shortness and lack of depth, but this game really doesn't offer much at all. The introduction makes the game look nice, but it is more detailed than the game itself. After you get out of the introduction, the game becomes a constant, random race of "Let's keep a close eye on Magikarp to keep him happy!" Like hormone-filled teenagers, Magikarp suffers from spontaneous depression, seeing as he becomes sad very easily. The Punish Button serves no real purpose other than making Magikarp angry. Even when you do fill up his stats, he seems to be either sad or filled with contempt. One thing I would like to compliment you on, however, is the art. The simple shading is enjoyable and adds a nice touch to the game. You had an interesting idea here, but I doubt it will hold many people's attention for more than a couple minutes at most. Good luck on your next works! I hope your future projects turn out well.

Most of the things I make are for the purpose of a quick laugh, hence my other game Atelerix Albiventris.
And the mood is randomly generated, and there are 9 different moods he can be in at ne given time, But for some reason the game seems to love always making him sad. Anyway, the mood has absolutely no indication on how you are treating the Magikarp. I alspo love how you desbribed it always being sad XD
And thanks for your words on the art, that is the one thing in this game I actually put a fair bit of effort in to, im glad to see it appealed to some people.
Thanks for the review, kind sir :D
This is a good start honestly, but the bar keeps changing rapidly and his emotions change every second.
