I love the concept of this.  A little tricky for me to give it the time it deserves when I'm trying to experience as wide of a variety of games as possible from this jam before the voting ends, but I did give it an earnest couple rounds and I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm looking forward to trying it out when I can, ironically enough, give it more focus.  This is a cool concept that I could see people using to help them focus. Also, great transition.  Got to make sure I give that a shout out.

Hey, thanks so much for checking it out!

 I kind of anticipated that the majority of people wouldn't be able to fully engage with the timer during the voting period. That's why I made the timer 10 minutes (rather than a typical 25 minute pomodoro) and also put one of the snowpal customisations right at the beginning for people to quickly get an idea of what the game is like. So I really appreciate that you gave it as much time as you did! 

I'm flattered that you're thinking to continue with it, and it's good to know that someone will get to enjoy the unlockable items that take more than an hour to reach ahaha. Anyway, thanks again!

Nice! Genuinely got me to do the dishes I was putting off. The unlocks are a neat little reward, very fun!

Developer

Hell yea, well done for getting the dishes out of the way! Glad you enjoyed <3

That's a cool twist I didn't expect! I'm planning to make something like that for myself - simple notebook/timer/diary, tailored for my needs. So it's especially interesting to see

Thanks for checking it out, and that sounds like it would be a very interesting project!

Great music, pico-8 always deliver nice visual. Liked the gameplay between the timers to ease the mind between tasks. well done!

Thanks so much for playing!

This is a very cool idea! From now on when I have to run some errands I will play this game!! The font is nice but it was a little bit confusing for me. Still a great entry!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! And yes this is the default pico-8 font, I need to see if there's a way to change it because I know it's kind of crunchy lol.

Such cute presentation, and with a good purpose! Helped me get some work done so thanks!

Developer

Thanks so much for checking it out, glad it helped you! <3

I loved the music in this game! It was an immaculate vibe that helped me set some new PB's in Trackmania so I believe your game accomplished its goal perfectly!

Developer(+1)

I'm really glad it helped you out and that you enjoyed the atmosphere! Music is by @Gruber_music if you want to check out any more of their stuff. Thanks for playing! <3

I love the idea of a timer game, art is so nice, and music is comforting and nostalgic. Thank you!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! If you like this kind of game then Pomo Farm is another great one to check out. Music is by @Gruber_music <3

Thank you for the recommendation! You're right, it's beautiful!!

Very cute! I loved the animation of the snow falling in the background and the music, it was super catchy! The customisation was also very fun, I liked going through all the different faces and accessories. It feels like more of a productivity tool than a game, but it actually motivated me to get some boring tasks I needed to finish done, so it was genuinely useful! Thank you!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for your kind words! I'm so happy to hear it helped you out - gamified focus tools like this have helped me a lot in the past so I'm excited to have been able to give that experience to someone else!

edit: Forgot to add that the music is by @Gruber_music who makes great free-to-use music for Pico-8, in case you wanted to check out any of their other work!

It's always cool to see games like this, you've crafted some really nice transitions. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

I loved your transitions, they were absolutely stunning! Also, great work as a solo artist and dev!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! <3

I think it’s cute, there’s just… Nothing for me to focus on so this is kinda just sit bored out of your mind simulator BUT, I love the snowman customization!

Developer(+1)

Lol yes I worried this game might be a hard sell for people who don't have anything in mind they want to focus on. If you manage to get past the first bit of boredom there's a feature in the break section where you can randomise ideas for little jobs you could get done! Anyway thanks for checking it out and glad you like the customisation!

Love this timer so much! The name you choose as well was very clever. Simple but effective. I gave you 5 stars. 

Developer

Thank you, that means a lot to hear!!! <3
