I really enjoyed playing this game. I wish it was downloadable and have savepoints so could play and see how far I can go. Sometimes it doesn't register my inputs.

How does your game fit the theme?
You finish playing one mini game and go to play another
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

Interesting idea! I think a tutorial would be really really helpful. I like the art and the music also.
cool idea! the graphics were nice especially the main character design reminded me of the guy from cyberpunk haha anyway ya I ran into a couple issues when playing. First when I was playing the fishing game I didnt really get that I could sell the fish for real money. Because the phone was the same in the real world and the same in the video game I didnt catch that i could do that. I also faced a weird bug that played all the music tracks at the same time but it reset once I started the mini game. Overall good concept for the game and very unique.
Nice Game! I really liked your idea, tho I didn't really saw the connection to the theme. I'd also recommend you to make your game a bit more polished and don't spam the player full with a text wall, rather to it in small bites ;)
I liked the idea of the pixel art room with different activities. Looked great and fun to explore!
I'm really impressed with the level of innovation in your game. It's clear that you pushed yourself to come up with something truly unique.
Is that David from Edgerunners?
A bit confusing, but lots to do
Great spritework!
A good game but sometime i get bored because you just play a game, eat an apple and sleep, and if like have a event like harvest moon it will be great (i think) and... where is theme of the a end is new begening?
Nice game! I'm a big sucker for simulator type games (my submission is something similar), so this hit a nerve for me. I was a bit lost here and there, but I liked it for a jam game, great job!
P.S: you might like Internet Cafe Simulator 2, that game is hilarious imo (although buggy).
Thanks for the detailed review, I'm currently working on updating and fixing bugs, David is most likely just a character... But I think I'll move the cyberpunk theme to the new mini-games.Maybe you couldn't go to bed because you weren't tired yet?(<50%).Excuse me, where exactly is hand-drawn? I would be glad to fix it.
Well, that was something. Very good music and a lot of mechanics… Too many even. That makes it easy to get lost. But well done, I hope it keeps getting better!
Full disclosure, I only played for about 5 mins because it was becoming laggy (possibly just my computer/connection) but clearly you put a lot of work into this.. and it really feels like a game that could be larger than just a 1 week gamejam game.
If you continue working on it, I'd recommend making the fishing section a bit more interesting/challenging. I saw level 1 was $10000 and I was not feeling like fishing for that long.. though I didn't try betting. However, I'm sure you're aware of this and would've done more with more time. I think what you accomplished in the timeframe is really impressive!
Interesting design, Not really sure what was going on but it was interesting.
A ambitious game, the amount of work you put into it really shows with all the different screens and action. Reminds me of old flash games that had a similar slice of life feel to them. The only thing I'd say is to break up the intro info somehow because it's a bit overwhelming and it flew over my head so I fumbled my way around for a bit, thankfully it's pretty intuitive. Great work! Keep it up!
A game about life of David Martinez.
If I have to say it is well made. Some assets did not really match up with each other but everything worked nicely :). But there are some thing I would change.
If it is a game about LIFE I would make the mc walk outside and make them walk/travel to the pond or to the lake. What have you done looks more like a streamer life because the main three things you do is order food, go to sleep and do something on your pc. So maybe add something with streaming online?
Minigames are okay. Fishing is simple but engaging but the skeleton fighting game is a little bit confusing. I would add some panels or tutorial screen which would explain the mechanics. I didn't like how spikes are random, maybe there is something which help with it but I did not see it.
And that's all! It's a small and simple game with a few minigames but I liked it. It has some problems but overall it's solid.
I especially like the fishing game, the mouse control and the lag is interesting!! I was confused on how to get on the bed for a while though. Graphics is amazing. Great game!!
