Very cute!

Amazing game overall! I love the part where you fall down from those platforms and are shown the office.

Great creative use of the theme - the art is really nice and the music pairs well with it! I'd love to be able to interact with some of the aspects of the environment to add more to the story. Falling into the abyss of the office with the hang in there poster was funny.

I really liked the artwork, it was nice and fuzzy

Beautiful artistic game, loved the final part and the music was super! :]

Very interesting idea. I like how the loop theme was implemented here. I love how you're able to do certain things only at that age. I am a bit confused on what the overall goal of the game is but I liked what I saw. Could you rate my game?

Beautiful. I will always appreciate something about the bittersweet melancholy/joy of growing older. The falling into the workplace got me. The twist at the end was amazing. I love it.

A very nice experience with beautiful pixel art. I like that the level design didn’t change much, but the player character’s abilities changed with age. The skateboard section was a nice surprise. Amazing game, great job!

Such a fun experience that encompassed the theme really well! The loops were short and sweet and my soul was absolutely destroyed by dropping into adult life xD The ending was completely unexpected and absolutely radical! :D The music was absolutely great throughout and the style was incredibly well thought out :)

It's pretty short, but I liked the narrative! How you relive the same level differently and see different perspective as you go through the loops ^^

Sweet game with a cute art style and soundtrack. Clever way to handle Narrative too, well done!
