DEMONS ARE JUST LIKE US… UNTIL THEIR 13TH BIRTHDAY.\nHelp a struggling teenage demon go through puberty, transforming from a snot-nosed brat to the vile creature we all fear.
\nThe mechanics are all point-and-click buttons, and the mechanics are in the style of an incremental game. You can mute the audio, but I recommend turning it back on when you start learning the fiddle!
\nThanks for playing!

Very interesting approach on IDLE/clicker game. Also, it was cool to practice violin and change notes. Resource bars are implemented satisfyingly, like a bottle with liquid. I wish the game was not that long, tho.

Nice, this was great. There was a just-right balance of mechanics and puzzle solving for a fun casual episode. The intro writing was excellent, and nicely set the stage. The UI was easy to interpret. I was never left feeling “what do I do next?”, there was always a clear next goal. I had fun! Nice job!

\nThis was really fun. I liked how the progress wasn’t straightforward, and I had to figure out how to progress each max level to get other things. It’s not a mindless clicking game. Playing the violin was my least favourite part because not only was it super expensive, but it truly sounded horrible.
\nReally nice vibe, cute graphics and chill music. The violin music editor was completely pointless but a super cute addition. There were some design imperfections that, if you would address them, this game would be ready to release. One possible improvement, would be to somehow highlight the organs that are already fully mature.
\nAlso, interesting and unique interpretation of theme.

\nI’m liking the art style, and theres some interesting elements in the gameplay. Maybe I am not overly experienced with this kind of game, but a bit more direction/chatter could have been helpful.
\nGood work overall

\nHehe, nice “Demon Clicker” with a story. The pixelart style is great!

\nThe game is also very fun, the only thing I missed was a way to save the game. Starting from scratch is a new way of torture :D
\nCongrats!

The tiny music player was a great touch. Atmospheric, nicely written, perfect fit for the theme - what else can we ask? 10/10! One of my favorites this compo :)

\nNice idea and concept, but no actual use of competition theme.
\nBy the way, I enjoyed a lot and I will come back to play it after I rated all game submissions.

The idea of the theme connection was both the fear of turning 13 and going through puberty (puberty is scary!), and also that a 13 year old demon turns from a little kid to a fearsome monster.

\nWhat was with the band and library? I wasn’t able to get them to do much?
\nThe elements on the left all seemed to require money of which I didn’t have any, perhaps I was being impatient?
\nI’m afraid I didn’t hear any audio except when messing with the band - it was all pretty quiet.
\nAll in all, an interesting concept and beautifully illustrated.
