Great game!

Some of the chores can be a little unintuitive.  At first, I didn't get how to actually use the watering can to water the plants, but maybe I'm just stupid.

But it's fun how this game essentially makes you run loops around the house to get the chores done.  With a little balancing and some polish on the mechanics of the tasks, I think this has a lot of potential.

Great creativity, and it's quite challenging to play—I used some CHEATS to help out. I think this game has a lot of potential, and some details in the scenes are fantastic! Good job!d(゚∀゚d)

Some very entertaining audio.  However, I also have to agree with Colby-O's comments.

After many attempts, I eventually managed to make it to Day 3! Then I died of constipation.

I really like this game, it’s extremely fun to play. Juggling all the different mechanics was intense! That said, I do think the game is teetering on being unreasonably difficult. The main issue seems to be the hunger mechanic, there doesn’t seem to be enough food in the house unless you use the computer. I swear the parents have x-ray vision, every time I use the computer, they try to beat me. Poor Timmy :>.

I really hope you end up balancing the game at some point, because aside from that, it’s executed really well. Great work!

I really appreciate you playing! I completely agree; it's much too difficult to manage your sleep/hunger/potty (especially hunger). I so wish I had played through the game even just once before posting it so I could have properly balanced it! Thank you for the feedback!

The audio for the bathroom alone is worth the price of entry.  Make the leaf blower be able to move anything  and it is a hit. Seriously though the situations I found myself in were quite hilarious. I can many possibilities with this one...

I worry about Timmy's home life.
