Awesome artstyle and music, and storywriting.
Super neat, that the player can speed up the text-typing ;-)
Great entry!

Unnatural BalanceAlthough the story is a bit short, the writing is very well done—it quickly drew me into Oscar’s character. I also really enjoyed the hand-drawn art style, the creative scene design, and the fitting music that added to the mood.
Looking forward to seeing how this game develops further. Nice job overall!

Balance Ma'attersWow, the art is simply amazing! I also loved your interpretation of the theme. The game is a bit short, but I prefer short but polished games. I think this is a very good base for a longer game, you just need more story and probably quite a lot of your beautiful art. Here is some additional input on how to improve the game:
- I realized that I could cook pancakes again and got the same outcome. I think too many pancakes might also not be very good for your balance and mental health :). So maybe add a mechanic that you get different outcomes when you do the same thing too much.
- I would put the small buttons at the bottom rather in a menu. You do not need to see this all the time.
Congratulations to this very cool entry! Well done and keep extending it!
You are the highlight of my rating session: https://x.com/Stiggstogg/status/1919486221929046295

Work-Life BalanceI am too happy for any words! I am so happy you liked the game and how you shared it with others too, this has made my day <3
I actually didn't think about that pancake feature, that is an amazing idea I can add a parameter to measure how many times you can actually make pancakes until you become too sick of them 🤧 About the buttons too, I am taking notes on this feedback, I hope to extend this game as I see how fun it is to play :3
Thank you for the support and I will make sure to add more levels and drawings in this near future, I saw the posts too!! This game has received so much love already and I hope yo reach to more people <33
yooo i love this game!!, i actually have not really played any visual novels, and in all the jams ive been ive not been really playing them, anyways i tried this one cuz its cover art was really cool and it was short and sweet really cool!, i usually get really attached to the little characthers in shows or movies so i do find it weird ive never tried a visual novel before lol. but this one was cool! maybe a lil too short and maybe sum more content is lacking in the gameplay department, anyways great game! loved the art
edit : played it a bit more now!, first ending i got was the normal happy ending, doing all the good choices etc, second run i depression maxxed using the work on first day, and picked i cant, third run i just slept and... won, is there not a 3rd day? 4th run i depression maxxed in the 2nd day and picked start over, it seems like your mental health doesnt reset when restarting, it also seems to be able to hold a - value since you didnt clamp the mental health value, doesnt effect the ui but can cause you to drag yourself into a hole you literally cannot get out of, accurate ig lol, anyways this was REALLY cool lol these are just nitpicks amazing job!!!!

H.A.V.E.NThank you so much, your words really touched me <3 Im so happy you liked the game AND that you got the two endings ! Since I focused so much on making the game actually work I didn't have time to add a 3rdor 4th day :c But I hope to after this Jam! I just realized what you meant about the mental health bar, since the main character starts off at mid mental health it doesn't start at 100% (my idea was to make it to 100 as the days went on) I am loving the feedback, honestly thank you so much, I will take it into account to make better games
Day to Day RollerCoaster is all about mental health balance by pulling your life together and make better decisions for yourself, I hope you enjoy the different tasks presented in the house. All the drawings are drawn (including backgrounds) for you to enjoy, and a small side note, one of the characters is actually also in my first game (see if you can figure it out :D )
