Good day, good day, spend all of time on the computer.
Game feels polished and easy to play. Art and sound design are, also,quite nice.
I really appreciate how this game captures the relentless cycle of everyday life in such a relatable way. The balance between managing work, chores, and personal wellbeing hits that perfect mix of stress and routine we all recognize. The pixel art is warm and inviting, making the apartment feel like a real lived-in space. I also enjoyed how the mini-games added variety without breaking the flow, making mundane tasks actually engaging. The zoom-in effect right before actions added a nice cinematic touch that helps keep you focused. The sound design complements the atmosphere well, with subtle effects that make each interaction feel satisfying. Overall, it’s a thoughtful and well-crafted simulation of the daily grind that’s both fun and a little bittersweet.
I love your take on the theme. The art is so lovely and the whole apartment feels very lived in and nice. The balancing felt very well thought out and was just stressful enough to keep me on my toes. You've managed to gamify the crushing feeling of the daily life juggle really well! Good job!
Super cool how you turned the LOOP theme into the grind of daily work—totally relatable. The pixel art and chill tunes hit just right, made it a super relaxing vibe.
This was a neat take on the theme! The concept was nice and the artstyle is so cute! Loved it.
It was a chill game but one that made me sad QwQ I dun' wanna do chores!!! Love the concept tho!
This was fun! It was a good challenge having to balance everything and I would get really stressed when the meters were about to run out.
That was fun trying to optimize which task to do in which order. I hope she really likes leak soup :)
Really cool camera work and fun little minigames for some of the chores!
Fun, but hard! It's fucked up you can't eat lunch at work lol
Keep playing this game instead of tidying my room
The art is excellent. The game was really easy to learn. You have made the "repeat day" concept in a very good way. The activities were fun and perfectly small. I feel bad for the character for eating leek soup every day. Love the music and choice of sound effects. Outstanding job!
Visually stunning game. Had to stop after a couple of days as it was too real and I have so many neglected chores after the jam...
Amazing stuff, 5 stars across the board! :)
Spent too much time on the TV and computer and died, just like in real life!
I think our character needs some friends. Very fun but also kind of depressing game! I really enjoyed it!
Friends! In this economy? 😭 Best we can do is too much time spent on the good ol' computer.
Fits the theme perfectly. Enjoyed the loop, all mechanics worked perfectly. I liked the zoom right before an action is taken. The minigames, and the TV slide show is a nice touch. The messages give the game a good narrative. Music is nice to listen too, and sound effects represent the actions well.
Since the game already has a zoom, I think having the camera fixed whilst walking would make interactables easier to click.
It's so fun to see this project; we were inspired by similar things! The core loop was really fun (the cooking minigame was very cute)-- and the art was extremely coherent together. Chill and relaxing
"The loop is capitalism" was great! Nice minigames and game flow. Good going!
Love the art! I felt relaxed despite juggling different tasks and health meters. Having each chore be like a little mini game was a really nice touch. :)
The art is charming and the gameplay easy to understand. I managed to beat it on the first try and I'd say the challenge was really well designed. I bet a lot of work went into finetuning all the different values.
