I loved gaming this. The idea of age as a limitation; it's a very fun use of time, like an enemy.

This is an analogy of life(?

I really like the game, but geez the ageing is brutal. Other then that, great game!

I really liked the idea of character getting older as the time passes, however, not sure is slowing movement down was was really necessary

Submitted

Aging instead of a simple timer is a great idea!

Unfortunately, it is very hard to "save" a run, it gets harder to catch up as you get older

Served 2 sandwiches and died of old age, turning into a pile of ash... 10/10 !
But for real, awesome art and love the constraint limitation. This feels like maybe a metaphor for capitalism hmm

This one was really fun, I was surprised (in a good way) with how you all decided to implement the limitation. Good work!

Wow this is very well done! The presentation is very nicely done and there’s plenty of polish. There isn’t any silly UI bugs either, which plagues many Unity game-jam games. Everything is just very good.

The only places that could see some improvement would be the gameplay… Firstly, the premise itself is very nicely done, so much so that I didn’t need to read the instructions to understand the game so I commend that. However, as with any overcooked-style game, this game is lacking a secondary movement mechanic, such as sprinting or dashing. Moreover, the game is quite slow paced initially. It makes sense that the end game is slower due to age, but a twenty year old should be able to move much faster than that.

Great job :)
