I really liked this game. The progression balance was just right to keep me engaged all the way through! Great submission!

Nice job overall!

I have to admit, at first I didn't think this game would be for me as I don't normally play these sort of time/resource management games, but I ended up completing it. Something about the incremental improvements was pretty addicting. I think I ended up doing pretty well.

Absolutely love it! Nice concept, individual idea and nice ideling mechanic. Also it feels very polished. Keep it on!

I got 1517. Please make me stop...

Great work. I feel like the bouncy animations are a bit too bouncy, but everything else feels really good.

As others said, your take of the theme was very original! Good job, cool game :)

Developer

Thank you!!

Very original use of the theme. I feel like my life is one big loop as well. 

Developer

Sad but true!! Thank you for playing my game!! <3

A fun concept with nice music and crisp pixel art. I like that your interpretation of the theme is that life is just one big loop :D

Developer

Yeah, Everyday of work from home is actually loop. #Sadge, but Thank you for playing my game. you make me out of this loop :)

Love the concept. I finished the first month with a score of 1089, how did I do?
I was a little disappointed when I got the white cat and my black cat was replaced :(

Developer

Oh......You did great actually, but i'm so sorry for your black cat :( I will update and fix this problem soon. Thank for your advice!!

Submitted

Thanks! :D Can I ask you to do the same for the posters? :P

Love the game and the aesthetic, It starts off slow but by the time you realize it, you're already involved. My goal was to buy the cat, hahaha.

Cat is our life goal :D

That's one of those "One more turn and I'm going to sleep" games :)

Thank you!! actually I got inspired by the game call "No time to relax", but that is also cool name!

Submitted(+2)

Really Cool Game!! Especially because you did it solo!

Developer

Cuz.....I have no friend, Sadge.  

Thank you so much for comment and playing my game!!

Hi,

I like the idea behind your game, and you executed it pretty well. One thing I would advice on, is giving the player half a bar of everything, because now I'm tired, broke and sad all the time (this could also be because of my lack of being-good-at-gaming). The art is pretty cool, pixel-art works well for these type of games.
