Retirement Dungeon
Made for the Pirate Software - Game Jam 14
Theme: It's Spreading
When dungeon creatures get too old they are sent to the Retirement Dungeon to enjoy the rest of their days. But there is no enjoyment now that the new owner has banned all pets from the premises.
You must sneak in to spread love and joy to the residents without getting caught by the guards or security cameras. And don't forget to collect some treats for yourself as well. Good luck and stay out of sight!
** NOTE: Unfortunately there is a bug when pressing Q to leave a level and return to the menu. Entering a new level doesn't let you pick a pet causing you to become stuck. You can reload the page and any saved progress will still be there. Sorry for the inconvenience. **

Very fun game! Art and gameplay are great!
Unfortunately I had 2 issues:
In level 2 I opened the wrong door and got stuck because the only locked door left had the only key left.
A bigger issue is that when I pressed A to quit the level (or any level i found out after), it wouldn't let me select animals again and i was stuck without being able to move or see an animal, making the level unbeatable.
Great concept and loved playing it!
Very cute game.
Just beat the game and it was fun to play! Wouldn't mind if you added more levels in the future if you're planning to do more with the game. I was a bit confused on how to complete the tutorial level since there wasn't anything saying that I needed to get back where I started.
Discovered that I could get out of bounds in the game through this vent in level 4. It was fun wandering out into the void and later figuring out that the barrier out in the void was a hidden room full of treats that I missed.
Amazing! Wanted More!
Aced it! Loved it! Wanted more Of it. Extremely, good puzzle solving, got me several times, def one of my favs so far!
Really loved it.
Great funny game :)
the enemy ai in the last level was great!
This is a fun game! The tutorial is grand but a couple things threw me off. I wasn't certain I was supposed to return to the entrance after cheering everyone up, and it took me a moment to realize I could not be pet holding an item, in the top left corner at the start of my play.
This is a good combination of a cute idea and a perfect execution. The gameplay is really fair and intuitive. I could see someone getting really addicted to this. I think the addition of hidden secrets like a 2d zelda game would make this next level fun too.
For critique, I think that some of the UI feels a bit out of place next to the pixel art graphics and pixel art UI for being much more high res. Maybe you disagree, but I felt like it made the game a bit less cohesive. Some of the resident's hitboxes were a bit odd.
You definitely earned the spot of most popular game of the jam! Super!
Had a blast! Awesome Game!
I love the beholder with a goatee!
Bad games don't let you pet.
Good games let you pet.
GREAT games let you GET pet.
Cat/10!
love the game, i have the same issue some of the others have. its that when you press q and try to go back to the level there's no select pet option. also one of the vents in level 4 has no collision in it, so i can walk in the void of the level. other than that its a very enjoyable experience. cant wait to see more of this. all the best and good luck with the jam.
I'm afraid that is a bug I didn't discover until after the jam ended. Really sorry about that. Adding a note to the description so other know. I'm glad you still enjoyed it though. Thank you for the kind words!
This was very fun and I love the ferret option!
Amazing and great game. Lots of fun..
Kitty!! 😻Very cute and cozy.
Super cute. Excellent variety.
A couple of small nitpicks: I think opening vents should be automatic when holding the screwdriver. You can get caught behind a closed vent or door.
As a Jam game, it's superb. I wish there was an ending screen. Just a "Congratulations" would suffice.
Very cute game. We had lots of fun playing it. :)
Super cute game! Had a lot of fun playing it. Love the effect when you are caught.
Very cute and smooth! Love the drama of the ZOOM IN when you get caught
Really cool game! I thought the movements where a bit slow however, but that is probably just me. I also found it's possible to sneak right next to a camera while it's panning if the camera is on the top or bottom wall. If it's intentionnal, maybe the camera texture could go over the character or the cone could clearly indicate that this is a possibility.
Really cute. Love the inclusion of the ferret. The only bug I found was that enemy cones will set off if it catches you behind a door or wall. Other than that, really solid game.
Super adorable, and "an elderly beholder who needs someone to bring him his glasses" is something I am utterly stealing the next time I run an RPG. :-)
This is such a simple and fun game! It'd be nice if we could get bonuses for "stealing" items from the level, because small fuzzy burrito goblin.
Very cute and super polished! Well done!
Very solid well polished game. Had fun :-)
Very fun game, I love the overall design and feel of the environment!
Cute and nice game. Keep it up!
I found some bug also.
After I select some level and use "q" button to leave this level and trying to play same level again here is no "Pick your pet" window and player at the level anymore.
I love the concept, its so damn cute!! And it plays really well and is fun, well done!
Very cute game and nice graphics. The music athmosphere is awesome! I hope you will continue the develop.
I played this amazing Game!
Solid Grafics, Cute Pets, Nice mechaniks, cool secrets, Very fitting soundeffects. The music rocks! I like the Game alot.
If I would extend on this project I would implement a Titlescreen Image, some more levels, maybe a slower progression in difficulty.
Pets could be unlockables -> with different skills? movespeed, distraction ability etc.
Very solid Game! Nice Job!
