Yep, we’ve all been there trying to complete an assignment late at night. Took me a few tries to beat the game, but I managed to find a good way of managing all of the stats. Some of them options ended up being better in the long run since they helped maintain the bar better without taking up too much time. I think with some balancing, each option can have its own unique strategy. Other than that, I like the pixel art on display!

Appreciate the kind words!

so, this game is really hard.. not knowing the best combination... I feel like I hit yellow twice and didn't make it far.

Appreciate the comments! I added a little note in the game description that should help explain the mechanics a little better (without giving it all away)

Got to about 50-60%. Feels like you just made an argument to use ChatGPT. The color bars confused me a bit, I wonder if motivation is going up, the bar that's affecting it should be green? Or did I misunderstand the mechanics?

The presentation and premise are great! reminds me of high school haha
Just wish there was more to managing your boredom and hunger, maybe some sort of minigame, cause it does get quite dull after a while.
Overall presentation is the best part! good job! ✨

I like the presentation. Me personally I would've preferred to turn of anti-aliasing with the text for readability. Still very nice looking though. It is difficult to understand how to move forward in the game.

This is my high school memories simulator.

Interesting concept, I think I have to get the motivation level to the green zone but I'm not sure. A small intro text of how the game would really help
