The start felt like an electrical socket fest... but it got more interesting as it went on

Solid jam entry :)

Why does everyone die before me, lol. I thought the options were quite repetitive, but I still played multiple times and always ended up poor and alone, lol. Enjoyed the game and concept.

Submitted(+1)

nice game, I like the concept 

Submitted(+1)

I like the idea, similar vibes to "Life Simulator" ! 

There was very few events that occurred during the game so it got a bit repetitive, loads of dogs and cats in my family apparently haha!

It seemed as though your wealth could only decrease in the game and there wasn't really a way to replenish any health or strength (at least no way I got presented). 

Still a neat concept, well done :)

Really cool Idea. I really liked that I had multiple choices. though, it gets a little repetitive :/ 

Submitted(+1)

Nice o.o

Developer

Thanks o.o

Submitted(+1)

So life is just a long procession of cats dying? You know what... you might actually be right.

Developer

I don't make the rules, I just hold up a mirror to reality or something

Submitted(+1)

Great idea, it reminds me of Life Simulator 

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

does the outlet unlock a secret ending? nice game!

Developer

Poke it and find out! Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

That outlet man...

Developer(+1)

So tempting

Submitted(+1)

Great idea for a game, but it definitely needs more choices, this outlet just wants to kill me

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Maybe the outlet is acting in self defense against poking?

Submitted(+1)

nothing like the greatest count down of all: life. interesting bitlife type game. got each prompt several times

Developer

Thank you! Sorry about the repeated prompts

Submitted(+2)

I liked the idea, it fit the theme well! I really wanted more choices, because it seemed I was just repeating the same choice a lot of the times. Thank you for the entry!

Developer

Thanks for playing, I wish I had had time to create more events and choices yeah, would've been cool to see what people thought about it in a more complete state

Submitted(+1)

Cool game and idea. Got alot of double choices. Like the outlet one. Am I playing wrong? But solid entry and thank you for making this :)

Developer

Thank you for playing it! You're not playing wrong, I just didn't have enough time left to make more than a couple of different events. Hopefully you liked the outlet one :p

Submitted(+1)

It’s a fun game and I like the premise, but when playing, I often got the same scenario over and over again. Maybe it’s just me. If you keep working on the project I think it would be awesome to see more implemented. As a small game in 4 days, well done!

Developer

Thank you! Definitely not just you, this is the most common point of feedback by far. I'm glad you like the premise at least, maybe I'll keep working on it at some point

Submitted(+1)

A neat little idea! I can see the vision with the game loop but having more options than sticking my fingers in an electric outlet and choosing what pet I want would probably help lol

I can definitely see this being expanded upon and working, great job :D

Developer

Thank you! I would've liked to have more events, but the silver lining is the emergent silliness of repeatedly being tempted by electrical outlets, I guess

Submitted(+2)

Either my game was bugged, or this game is about not sticking your fingers in electrical outlets (fair enough tho)

Developer

Or maybe it is about sticking your fingers in electrical outlets and speedrunning life?

Submitted(+1)

It's a neat idea, but I think there are too little of the events, cuz a lot of the time i got the same one like 3 or 4 times in a row...

Developer

Thanks! Yeah the event repetition is unfortunate

Submitted(+1)

This game made me laugh a bit as this has been my Minecraft skin for ages. Overall, the game manages to create a feeling of doom. 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Glad you liked (doom?) it! That's a funny coincidence, I guess there's only so much one can do with 64 pixels in a square

Submitted(+1)

The idea is pretty good where the amount of time you have left goes down. Reminds me a lot of bitlife and similar games. I feel like some variance in events and some audio would do it some good. 

Those electrical sockets are just so tempting...

Developer(+1)

Oh I hadn't thought of that game for a looong while, you're right it's a similar concept! I drew inspiration mostly from Reigns, but yeah the event variance is lacking in comparison. Sound and visual feedback too. At least a zap sound right?
