I really like the artstyle! and the gameplay, even though it's cozy and slow, kept me engaged with trying to strategically spend my time and health, balancing school work and jam preparation - quite realistic actually! Great game! :]

Such a cute and cozy game. I thought to myself "How hard can it be?" then proceed to die 5 times in a row before jam even started

Takes me to when this jam started, trying to learn how to code and make an actual game while life tried to make that Not Happen. The time management was captivating, while still remaining stress free which I look for. Would play again after the jam.
