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.

Submitted

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!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

This is a nice concept, I always really loved those "virtual devices" games. There is so much to do with it. Nice work.

Submitted

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 :)

Submitted

Very creative idea! It’s a really cool thought to have a horizontal screen layout, usually I default to wide so quickly that I forget that’s an option! Lot’s of in-game content, too!

Submitted

I really enjoyed the full OS feel and the anxiety of having juste one minute left before the phone locks, you really nailed that ^^ 

Submitted

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!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

cool concept :)

Submitted

I love the concept and the narrative of the game! 

I really like the UIs and arts. Nice work :) 

Submitted

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!

Submitted

Just the right amount of silliness, really nice take on the theme!

Submitted

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.

Submitted

It looks like my life! (recently tried this method but.. something went wrong :D)

Submitted

Really cool idea. Simple, clean, just good!

For a first timer, you should be proud, it's really great !

Submitted

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.

Submitted

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.

Submitted

I really like this game conceptually and would love to play a full, more narrative focused experience based on it! I just feel like the timer should be a bit more lenient, by the third day you're not even processing what you're doing anymore hahah
