It's refreshing to have a visual novel with a point of view of an animal. I really liked the story it's really cute and comforting. 10/10 I highly recommend to play it. (I kind of got confused at first and though we were like a merfolk but being a cat was a really good surprise)
I really liked this game! Having the point of view of a cat was a definite change in pace! This is really nicely made, and I really like the art! 10/10!!!
I thought it was cool how as the pet, you talked. I liked how even though the boy didn't understand what the pet was saying, they still got there in the end! I loved the background and UI, the colour palette was very pleasing and I liked how neat it looked. Also the tuna icons are just too cute!
Yes, yes so true!! Their 'one-way' dialogue was really fun to write. This was such a fun project to make, I'm glad to hear that you liked it! Thank you very much! ππ
This visual novel is as warm and fluffy as tuna rice! The colour scheme looks very aestetic and the camera work is impressive. I also liked the fish bone cursor and cute tuna image in the menus.
This game is so sweet and cute- Now I wanna know what they put in that tuna rice so that i can eat it:P Also someone hurt my human and I don't think I can stand that>:((
Thank you for playing! ππ If you'd like to offer translation, please send me an email to: mail [at] konayachi [dot] com so we can discuss about it.
This is so sweet! I took a little to understand who (or well, what) the MC was at first and it was such a nice surprise! Also, it shows how much dedication you gave to the game!
Very sweet, I love that you play a cat! It reminds me of that Pixar short Feast, the one with the dog. There's nothing like a pet to console you after a breakup.
omg I WEEP π€§π€§ what a lovely game π₯ΉI have to admit my brain is a little frazzled so it took me a second I was like "oh no I'm a little kid!?" and then I was like "... I'M A CAT!? π" sooo wholesome, I adored the little convos between them ;w; <3 The UI and art for this is incredible!! so well done omg! you made great use of the O2A2 restrictions as well, the plain bg with just the feet was such a smart move and it still really felt like a fully fleshed out scene!
I really enjoyed playing this, I think I will definitely come back to re-play this from time to time ^^
Amazing visual novel! Such amazing use of the just one sprite rule (like showing just the legs in the beginning for example). Heartwarming story! Very cute. And I absoloutly love your artstyle <3
This was adorable! I like the color choices a lot! The UI looks really nice as well! The story was wholesome and you did a great job telling it with the limited word count! Great work on this!
This was adorable! The art is lovely, and the panning zooming positioning of the single sprite works really well. I also love how blue this VN is aesthetically, and the little bone cursor. It's all very cohesive and super cute!
The drizzly rain SFX makes for a very nice atmosphere/ambience too!
I'm so glad to hear that! It was lots of fun deciding on the visuals; from the limited colour palette, the blue shade to complement the rain ambience to other details like the cursor -- glad that you loved them! Thank you very much! ππ
This was SO ADORABLE, gonna roll over and die of a heart attack!! It was too cute! I love the concept of a story told from the animal's perspective, and it was so cleverly written, with the cat "talking" like they're having a conversation, even when the boy can't understand the cat! I also adored how it was structured - starting off with the boy picking up the cat and comforting them with a bowl of tuna rice, and ending with the cat comforting the boy with a bowl of a tuna rice! It was funny seeing the difference in the priorities between the animal and the human! Perhaps, at the end of the day, being warm, safe and fed are what matter!
The artstyle is simply adorable, and I loved the use of the limited color palette - the contrast of the blue and yellow was very striking, and it gave the visuals a little melancholic but comforting feel (maybe trying to evoke a "sun amidst the rain" image?) The sprite was cleverly used and I really appreciated all the different animations and framing to make the game dynamic.
Overall, this was so cute, really great job on this, kona!! Like a warm hug on a cold, rainy day!
First waah I'm glad you enjoyed Tuna Rice, Cap! And yes I loved writing their dialogues a lot, in a form of very simple communication that trancends languages. I also loved making the art and using limited colour palette is my favourite thing; I'm glad that it conveys the emotions with the visuals that it gave!
I really appreciate your insightful comment, and thank you very much for playing! ππ
UWAAH This is so cute! γ½(βΏοΎβ½οΎ)γ I really love that it's from the perspective of an animal and how the thoughts contrasts with the owner's. Being happy from small things like tuna rice...I feel that (Β΄β½`Κβ‘Ζͺ)
Oh, this was such a sweet game! I enjoyed how we could have a glimpse of the owner's life from the perspective of an animal and how, in the end, what mattered was to "be warm and dry", and to get warm by small things (as tuna rice). I appreciated the parallel between the beginning and ending situations!
The GUI is magnificent and the art is gorgeous! Also, I appreciated the dynamism of the camera movements in this VN! Congrats on making it!!
I'm happy that you got the little things that I worked on for the story, given its length limitation for the jam! I'm glad that the message went through.
Glad to hear that! I had fun making the art and movement too! Thank you for your kind insight! ππ

I really admired the art style and the point of view being from a cat! (I thought we played as a literal fish lol π)
I honestly really wanna see more games from you in the future :3
