How does your game fit the theme?
It's about completing you backlog (counting down from 100 to 0 games left to play). There is also a countdown to your birthday which is the deadline of the game.

Liked the concept. Especially the "I am working out" button overlay when you exercise made me laugh.
really nice game, i had lots of fun with this!!
really cool game I wish I really had that much time to get thru my back log of over 100 games... reminds me of playing the sims managing my needs. very cool!!!
very cute concept and hit too close to home
Quite a fun little management game!
Wow so well put together, it genuinely does feel surprisingly realistic for something so simple! I wish there was a way to skip the game playing timer, I do like that it encourages you to keep yourself topped up rather than just barely scraping by, but maybe having it be a toggle (perhaps one you can unlock) could be good for the future! I can imagine this being really fun when you can start making your decisions and clicks super quickly. Amazing work!
Thanks! I had planned to include upgrades to speed things up, automate some of the tedious parts, and give boosts to the player in general, but sadly didn’t have time to implement all that
My favourite submission so far
The many things you need to balance while clearing the backlog hits close to home, you really nailed it
I love it.
Really creative concept!
Not a bad idea to introduce a countdown, it turned out great!
