I really liked the idea of the game. But the breakout game inside the game was a little nausiating. Just the screen shaking whenever the ball hit something was starting to make me sick. I wasn't able to get to the ending. Just because, I figured it was behind the ping pong game. I lost the game twice and I was starting to get too sick playing it so I couldn't continue. But I did try to complete it. 

The breakout game was actually harder than I was expecting especially with 10 lives. By the time I got that power up to turn them all pinkish white I was already down to my last 2 lives. Cool idea sorry I couldn't complete it :(

Developer

do you suffer motion sickness?, the waving is too little just 0,1 from 100. and the game difficulty is actually easy, my 8 years old was testing it and beat the game everytime, from 20 plays just lose 1, when you pick the purple power up, hit space and you can literaly shoot bullets and beat the game ease, and remember the only way to beat the game is not that one, there are 3 endings and that one is the normal one.

No, I don't usually get motion sick. I've done a bit of VR and never had issues. Lol thanks for letting me know I'm worse than your 8 year old

Developer

xd i will later add a option to turn off that movement thanks for comment champion

We appreciate you have worked alone on this project! Take care of us is the first important thing to everyone on this planet; we think you have expressed in a good way this message. 

To make the gameplay more interesting you could put some specific mechanics for example the choice of something health for the player life (like hang out to run or eat something health like salad). Nice work ;)

Developer

thank you so much really nice idea!

I liked the music and look of the game (proper old school vibe). I tried just sitting there for a while, but nothing happened, was hoping for some humor or something like him soiling himself if you don't go to the toilet :D 

The artwork was very nice andas mentioned the vibe worked perfectly, was hoping more dialogue or quirkiness as a balance to the otherwise very chill vibe. I ended up quitting after a while just playing the breakout game and trying to overfeed him to see the game mechanics :D 

Beautiful work on the art and vibe though!

one of the first version have him getting wider if you eat too much, but for some reason sometimes that thing bug and he go skinny Lol, and i was thing adding more dialogs, sounds, and some jokes but i was thinking i will short on delivery time, but i will update later on.

Yeah I definitely understand that all the things I said, would be overscoping the project wayyy too much :D

Love how the game looks and sounds. The game got nice message. The breakout minigame is nice.

Man stayed alive and kicking even after food hit zero, had to take high pressure pills to kill him.

If you press enter in the computer desktop, the breakout minigame will play without changing the background.  

Wasn't able to get the good ending even after reading the spoiler, are you sure it is working?

Overall, nice game.

Developer

The good end if you delete 6 folders and go full right in the kitchen it should end, didnt do enough testing for everyting, but after Jams votings end i will update and fix all that, there is actually couple bugs haha

A very interesting idea. I would like to see more humor in such a game. Self-irony.
Congratulations!

This is the first simulation type game I've seen. It's a cool idea. I like that there are different endings. The breakout game on the pc was neat, games within a game are always a fun idea!

Developer

Thanks so much really appreciate your comment!

I got the ending "enjoyed my game and died young" :(

I liked the breakout mini game, I really liked the pixel art on the apartment, I wasn't sure what else I could do, I read that there was something in the kitchen but could only eat in there.

SPOILER: 3 Endings: 1 is if you beat the mini game on the PC and hit X, other End is if you let he die not eating or sleeping, the no so secret one is if you delete 6 folders and go to the kitchen full right he will go out the house and Ending appear.

Developer(+1)

do not worry about your ending remember he was the best player in the world of that game, and win 2x time champion. is not that bad

Developer

 The Art and overall feel of the game was very well done. The little details really stood out to me, like the swaying at the computer. I got the not so good ending. :(

Developer

Thanks for comment and feedback! really appreciate! remember in my opinion the not so good end is still good, he was and is the greatest gamer in the world.
