Great work. I particularly liked the reference to the number of games one has to play =D

plauk 2014-12-08 11:26

I should buy a kitten.

sirival 2014-12-08 12:33

Nice :D I LOL'ed with the pissing sounds!

liamlime 2014-12-08 13:51

Neat game! There seems to be a fair bit in common between your game and mine :D

The setting and connection to the theme are brilliant, just like the graphics and sound effects (amazingly polished for a compo entry). It's just waiting for some objectives to complement the interaction with the environment to become a great game.

Keep up the good work, this looks awesome!

Nice game, it would have been cool to have a story rather than just trying to interact with everything.
(The shower was really funny!)

I don't see a cursor on OS X in Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Will try on PC once i find one.

aden-manson 2014-12-08 17:58

AWESOME GAME! BEST RATING! (HOPEFULLY)

bthedestroyermc 2014-12-08 18:58

Clever. Four stars in Humor

It's not just an entire game on one screen, it's an entire life on one screen! Fun game.

thommy 2014-12-08 19:05

Nice graphics and audio. The apartment looks way to "normal" for the average geek, though ;)

dsilvers 2014-12-08 19:10

Tell me you went around your house with a microphone and recorded all these sounds yourself? This is good, silly fun! Can't think of too many games where the sound effects literally stop the gameplay. Nice use of implied action!

egos 2014-12-08 19:10

nice concept really but a small objective will be possible.
What is the goal of a geek ?

codecranker 2014-12-08 19:23

lol. that's basically it. you got it right :D

designernap 2014-12-08 19:34

Excellent work here. "actually I would love to read" killed me :) great stuff. Shows how good use of audio adds so much life to a game.

doubstract 2014-12-08 19:42

100% real life simulator! "What button do i need to press, to hack someone" :DDDDD

tommyno222 2014-12-08 20:06

You guys are awesome, I really appreciate your feedback! :) I wanted to create player needs and a possibility to fulfill them however I didn't manage to do it in 48 hours. And regarding the sounds, I am really surprised myself... I always hated creating sounds when I was working on some game, and it's enough to just take a phone and record everything around :D

ulydev 2014-12-08 20:36

Interesting concept. But does it have a real goal ?

andrewkennedy 2014-12-08 21:25

I am a magical wizard who can jump through walls to take showers! Pretty mellow atmosphere, I liked it. I got a real Sims vibe playing this. The humor was well done also.

jupitron 2014-12-09 02:41

Now i have a sense of cloustrophobia...Nice art!

mrleeperry 2014-12-09 03:39

REALLY compelling. Something about the snug little apartment on one screen drew me in. Nice art and humor especially!

ghostinthesoft 2014-12-09 07:09

Nice one, I like graphics, audio and your take on the theme.

lokiman 2014-12-09 17:07

Those SFX are really something! :D

selfishgenome 2014-12-09 21:02

Ha, even in a game I instinctively move towards the coffee maker.Great idea, made me laugh a lot. Hope you win the humour cat.

fergusontv_ld31 2014-12-10 14:21

Hilarious ! Great job :D

happytransportgames 2014-12-10 14:36

Great concept, nice graphics, funny sounds. If I had a "story" or a quest it would be perfect...

kalaskrysset 2014-12-10 14:46

Lovely art :) I really like these simulator games where you do something quite ordinary :P

rjhelms 2014-12-10 17:04

Very nice. This feels like the great basis for some interactive fiction.

psychomonster 2014-12-10 20:26

Wonderful little game :D The one-screen-sims ... played it not long enough to see what happens if you forget to eat :D But this game is one of the best till now

ruerob 2014-12-11 01:31

Nice little computer people... Very good work.

xhunterko 2014-12-11 03:23

Not bad. A tiny bit inaccurate but not bad.

silii 2014-12-11 13:54

I didn't see : Create a LudumDare Compo in Computer Choice, i'm a noob ? I have to work and play hard to unlock this possibility ? :D

Nice game, like the graphics. Simple but good. i want create similar thing for the next LD. Hope the theme was good for.

zkenshin 2014-12-12 17:22

Quite cute, could use with a little more to do, but still very nice!

barkergames 2014-12-13 00:22

Nice job.
Love the art and sounds.
I did have a hard time reading the geek void bubbles. Too fast!

demy 2014-12-13 10:31

Hehe, I don't like when people write something like "I have a game too, watch it!", but actually I have something the same but inside his computer =)

Graphics and music are cool and this could be a good starter for making just a sandbox or the big quest. It looks and feels nice.

phocker 2014-12-14 06:05

fun to interact with the environment - not much of a game here tho - nice job

sk16games 2014-12-14 18:25

I love the mood of the game, and the music/sounds. It needs a bit more... "game" though, there isn't much to do. But well, I guess that's just how a life of a geek is :P

apiotrw 2014-12-14 23:05

Very solid artstyle

madball 2014-12-16 15:52

The first experience was great. I liked walking that guy around and guessing what does he want to do now. But eventually, I did everything I could. And that's all. It's a game with prospects. This is not a lot of things to do on one screen, you can add much more! A storyline, for example.

depp 2014-12-19 22:07

Cool environment. I especially love the artwork and sound effects.

Jeremias 2014-12-24 14:47

Haha, nice one. I love these comments/thoughts. Just taken from real life (of geeks). I wished you had made some "rate Ludum Dare games"-meta-jokes here.

redoxkun 2014-12-29 12:07

The real geek simulator XD Nice!
