Nice little game. Ive got 103 years to live and got to
pretty fun experience lol
good job :D
Thank you!
Thats definitely a new happiness record for the game :D
10/10 would buy happiness for money again.
Cool idea and good potential!
i got locked up in jail for the rest of my days- cool concept though :)
It was hard to understand at first, but I like the concept!
I'm making bad decisions in this game just like in real life! Honestly, this concept is huge—it could literally be used to teach kids about life choices. You should definitely keep working on it!
I made a jam game centered around a countdown too if you want to check it out—it's a local platformer where you fight to steal each other's time!
Fun game though the years could last a bit longer! You should check out my game!
Love the vibe, it's like a silly Game of Life! The basics are there and with a little bit of polish for animations, visual and audio feedback on what the player does this would be really fun! Marking what you can interact with would go a long way!
Thanks, you're definitely right on the animations etc. but actually all buildings you can interact with, are marked with an outline (except one as it's like a lil secret xd)
I'm not sure what to do! I can walk around and got a choice at some point, but that's it
Yeah, that's the main part, but different paths of decisions also give you other choice options at most of the interactive spots
Nice concept, I enjoyed it, a retry button would've been nice though...
Yeah i know.. I thought i could just switch to the first scene by a button in the end and implemented that like half an hour before the jam was over but then it wasn't working like that and i couldn't fix it in time anymore x_x
sorry about that
The effort put into this is astounding! A fun game, 10/10 enjoyment.
Tysm!
I´ve had a happy life :)
A really deep and intersting theme you´ve brought to this jam. For me it was worth playing even if it isn´t fully completed. Go on making it. I bet it was a lot of fun to think of all the things in life you could do for happiness.
Thanks and yeah it definitely was fun! Ideally i would have liked to make the game at a way larger scale of decisions and complexity (and make the city more alive) but obviously had to focus on making something playable first
Could have been doing with some instructions but otherwise good take on the theme.
GAMMBBLIIING!!! (I got imprisoned while gambling;( )
To even have that case is "lucky" too, just not in the good way xD
Got arrested at 1 years old and died in prison. Still had a happy life. 10 out of 10!
Can't imagine a better life fr
Bane: Origins
A child of the dump—the theme is clear from the very beginning.
Loved the music!
I really enjoyed it. I was able to get to a knoledge of 500 something
Damn how did you manage to do that? XD
Cool game
Check my game Flip it
i finished with 4k in debt, but i lived a happy life
