The concept was simple yet effective. I really like that you, as the player, get to decide if you "won" life, because everyone has their own views on success. Would have loved to see the character age over time. Very nice work!

I thought this was a neat concept and I like the idea. The choices you make having more of an effect would be cool for a future update, but I still enjoyed your game.

Serious SpinnerGood concept man!! i really like the look and music. Something that i would call simple but effective.

The Evil CroThis was an interesting one. One bit of feedback would be to deincentivize the player from spamming left click since I accidentally skipped one of the option choices. It woulda been cool to have seen more of your art instead of asset packs even if it was less polished. This was a fun time overall

Inken Temple (Jam Version)Thank you for playing and for the helpful feedback!
I honestly hadn’t thought about how easy it would be to accidentally skip a choice by clicking too fast, so that’s really useful to know. I’ll keep that in mind for future improvements. And thank you for saying that about the art too. My art skills are still a little rough, haha, so I ended up using quite a few asset packs. But I really appreciate the suggestion!
Thanks again for playing!! I’m glad you had a fun time overall.
A very relaxing game about progressing through stages of life. I wish some of the choices affected your stats more. I don't think I ever looked at my Relationship, Health, or Family stats. Nonetheless, a suprisingly enjoyable experience about what it means to win at life.

PLAN-IT-ARIUMThank you so much for playing! I’m really glad you enjoyed it overall.
And yes, that’s a fair point about the stats. During testing, it felt too easy to die, and since money was the main stat players could increase, I adjusted the other three stats to make it easier to reach an ending. But I think that also made those stats feel more like background numbers.
That’s really helpful feedback, thank you!!
This is sooo cute & lovely. I absolutely love the themed backgrounds and the concept is just so nice with you being the hand of the clock and progressing in life. The music fits really well too. A few things though. The biggest pain point is the money collecting sound effect. It just doesnt fit at all imo... I think its really annoying even. And To maybe have some more depth/decisions that trigger/influence other choices etc. Still a lovely game
Thank you so much!! I’m really glad the concept came across well, and I’m happy you liked the themed backgrounds and music.
That’s very fair about the money collecting sound effect. I wanted players to have some feedback when they picked up money, but you’re right that the sound itself doesn’t fit very well and can be annoying. I’ll keep that in mind and try to improve it! I also agree that the choices could feel more connected and affect each other more. Thanks again for playing and for the helpful feedback!! 💛
Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback!! This was my first time joining a game jam, so there were definitely things I hadn’t fully thought through. I’ll keep this in mind and try to make choices feel more connected in the future!!
Thanks again for the kind words and the helpful feedback! 💛
