How does your game fit the theme?
The game revolves around the idea of being under a constant deadline + doing small side things which also have to be completed in their own deadline, hence the countdown: how much time you have to do your objectives

Wonderful concept~
Can't draw very well with a mouse, but the game was forgiving enough ^^;
unlike the deadlines...There were a few bugs but the art and story was amazing!! 5/5 art and narrative :)
Really nice game! I like the atmosphere. Well done!
Shockingly stressful! The story is great, art is AMAZING, and I like that draw time is only consumed by actually drawing. I did notice some bugs--in case you keep working on this (which I hope you do!): drawing did not stop when mouse button was released and sometimes froze the game entirely (this ended both my plays, unfortunately), and some UI buttons stayed on screen blocking other elements (spend time with Amanda/doomscroll). This is such a good concept. Thank you for sharing this!
Really liked it, love the art, the music and the story, the gui sometimes got confusing, so i advise you to try making buttons more "feedbacky" lol, and more sathisfhying (i still don't know how to write it AHAHHA) to press or to hover the mouse on, a nice unique font would've also been a nice touch! I really hope i can help with these feedbacks to improve this game and your future one's , but other than that, the narrative was pretty engaging, i'm probably going to open sumbission thanks to this game lol
oh yeah, also loved the cat, he was such a stupid cute patootieeajfskfjf
The art looked great! Sadly my game froze when I pressed the eraser and earlier there were a few weird bugs like buttons overlapping each other and my drawing being displayed on the full room screen. Great story though, just a few things you have to fix!
really awesome game! picked up my stylus really hoping it would work XD but had fun either way!
Dang, I didn't think about making stylus work, but I'll definitely do that after the jam ends!
Thanks for playing!
The game broke on me :( Sometimes the art layered in a wrong way and the commissions too, I also never got money for them
Otherwise the game is very cute (Especially the cat) and a fixed version would be enjoyable!
Here is a depiction of the house I drew before the game didn't fade out of a blackscreen anymore
The game is really fun and really good but idk how i draw and this happened. Can you play at my game pls ?
wow realy filled game
The art is stunning, really amazing work. The game being almost a meta commentary on the game jam is clever too! The game has some amazing concepts, and while it was pretty ambitious, I would love you a more final version :)
Really great work!
Needs some bug fixes, some proofreading and some polish. Otherwise, a really great game about the personal struggles of trying to create art for a living.
Very creative project! I really liked the visual style. While playing, it reminded me of drawing sprites for my own game during this jam :) It would be great to add a volume control, but that's more of a polishing thing at this point. Overall, a really solid project!
