Nice narrative, relatable, the game is fun to play! I liked the smooth UI. the game became quite hard when you have to start setting the alarms.

Quite unique! And I also felt in hurry to try do all those task! So it is really good fit for the countdown theme. I really liked the game! The pixelated art fits well!
Holy cow! You put so much art into this one game its incredible! How did I find myself scrolling on your tik tok app?? XD
Great entry! I really enjoyed it, and I really appreciated the fast paced loop of the game. Also, just the idea itself is really smart and a fun interpretation of the count down theme!
This is a nice concept, I always really loved those "virtual devices" games. There is so much to do with it. Nice work.
Really creative! It gets pretty hard as you start getting more tasks in a short amount of time, but it's pretty fun! I got a 6 day streak :)
I really enjoyed the full OS feel and the anxiety of having juste one minute left before the phone locks, you really nailed that ^^
Really creative and fun! I loved how the settings were integrated into the phone's settings app! The tasks were intuitive and the notes app was a great way to list all the tasks! I think overall the timer was maybe too fast? It felt like I wasn't actually allotted the full 60 seconds, but maybe I'm wrong there. I think some of the buttons could also be a little larger, like the back button in the bottom right. I kept missing the input and would lose out on a decent amount of time lol
But overall, really loved going back and forth on the tasks! You captured a lot of the "glued to phone" experience and executed it really well, great job!
Fun concept and narrative. I always little menial minigames/tasks in games, it’s pretty immersive. Especially with the menu settings actually being in the phone lol. Well put together, good job!
I love the concept and the narrative of the game!
I really like the UIs and arts. Nice work :)
This was actually really nice! It was really intuitive due to it just being phone controls. It felt very Cook Serve Delicious to me, and i love those games, so this is a winner for me. Very good job for your first game!
Just the right amount of silliness, really nice take on the theme!
Creative concept for a first game, great job, love the humour. Replying "no" to mom about going to a play (and considering that a task well done) actually made me laugh out loud.
It looks like my life! (recently tried this method but.. something went wrong :D)
Really cool idea. Simple, clean, just good!
For a first timer, you should be proud, it's really great !
Really cute take on the jam theme. I liked the phone interface a lot and the little animations for stuff was adorable. The message to Mark was hilarious and extremely relatable story overall.
Remarkably fun for such a simple concept. I love how unhelpful the player is when replying to their texts.
This is a really creative concept. I found it tense and engaging. It would be cool to see a longer game with this concept and more of a narrative. The pixel artwork was also very good, maybe some different colour palettes could be used to improve it further.
