The boredom meter fills up pretty fast, and you can just enter/exit your room over and over to survive dying of boredom (not sure if intentional). I liked the idea though, pretty funny

Got a bit confused why my boredom meter kept going up and the controls felt a little strange. Did complete the game so It must have been enjoyable :)
What the hell ?
How can bread increase boredom ? Bread is cool! Bread is life! That's a very bad start! ^^
But except this bread mistake, I really enjoyed this game, even if I don't know why. Maybe it's because is fun ? Myabes it's because the music is pretty cool ? Or maybe it's because I managed to moonwalk
Thanks for the comments, guys! Glad to hear that people are enjoying it overall.
@Pierrec Haha! Well you're right in the sense that "bread is life", but that's why it's boring. Not to mention, EVERY game uses bread as a powerup, so I thought it would be fun to reverse that stereotype. :p And I'm glad you enjoyed the music - it's the first time I've taken a stab at composing a song.
That pit, and the fact that I couldn't hesitate for a second. Liked the sins thing =)
Nice idea, and well done. But why are oranges boring? No (real) word rhymes with orange, so it shouldn't be boring! :)
Boredom meter? Pleasures as keys? :D
Bread and water would definitely be a boring meal, but a small explanation about what is/isn't boring might ease confusion.
Music and graphics were both good, and the boredom mechanic was interesting, but I thought it was over a bit too quickly.
Thanks for the feedback. I put a list of boring/exciting things at the bottom of the web page and just added pictures to make it clearer.
Interesting mechanics, took a couple of failed attempts to get the hang of it. Enjoyed exploring and the variety of rooms, but slightly confused by a few doors that seemed purely cosmetic. I would happily have played it for longer :)
@Jacic: Strange, Orange should rhyme with Stonehenge /pun
I think the game delivers, i'm not terribly fond of it (that's just my personal taste about games, not something you could or *should* fix), but everything was very well executed. Especially the Music, it's a catchy melody. The sound fx could have been better (that's why I gave you a 3 in Audio, and not a 4).
Very well done. The Albert Einstein quote was a nice touch.
Like it. Honestly
Something really interesting about this game. I like the music, brings back memories.. Well done!
I love LD games that I can actually complete.
Great take on the recharge to stay alive feature. Well done, I liked this one a lot.
Like the idea and theme interpretation. It begs for more variety and cleverer ways to keep boredom away. Controls could be a little better. I forgot which items do what the instant I started playing, so those could be differentiated better (I'd love like a greyish monotone vs cartoony colorful look). Like the music.
You should mark somehow these doors that I can't go through. And that pit coming back from the key of greed is just evil! Nice game though, my real boredom meter didn't raise while playing.
