Really fun concept, loved the individual mini-games being broken down into tiny chunks still reflective of their actual tasks. The music game while fun was a bit longer than the others- ended up with 10 code 10 art and only 2 music. Although to be fair, sacrifices do have to be made.

nice idea mates, liked the guitar hero keyboard minigame

I can't help but reflect on the past three days I spent developing while playing this game. The mini games are alot of fun and challenging. I think it would be even better if each category had a few more minigames that relate to it. Overall I really enjoyed playing this as it fits both the situation and the theme! I wish you the best of luck.

Loved the minigames and the interaction with the leisure activities, like the sunlight. Very meta.

Nice meta game but i think quitting the jam because you where starving or sleeep-less is unrealisitc :P

I really like the idea,although i feel that it is a bit harsh, that you have to start over if you get too sleep, instead you might reduce the score or something in that vein

Very tidy design, and very well made! Personally, I would prefere different mechanics not arcade ones (music and art), but still. Very good!

I really wanted to try this game but it crashes on launch (Macbook Pro 2013 running Windows 10 via bootcamp). Looks interesting!

Cool game. I got to the end, and it looked like it bugged out (I got first in everything, with a 14335760/5 average on gameplay), It gave me a bit of a laugh whether intentional or not. I usually am wary of these games that get too meta, as they tend to stray from the theme and could have been made for any ludum dare. That said, this ended up fitting rather nicely. Personally, however, I never find the mechanic of "Plate Spinning" with multiple decreasing bars to ever be a very good idea; I feel that it gets overused in jams like this and I have yet to see a take on it that I have found truely novel.

@disperse Hmm...I didn't do any testing with bootcamp - may be an issue with Unity beta? I'm not really sure how to help :(

@kleinzach I thought I fixed all the bugs with the score screen. I guess not! Well at least you got a laugh out of it. Thanks for the feedback - very good point about plate spinning. Something I'll have to be cognizant of in my future jam games.

I got 1st in all the categories, is that some sort of bug? Jk. In truth I really liked this entry, although it would've been nice if you could cut a task short in order to eat and sleep. The music section was really long and I lost to that a few times :P

Really nice entry, good use of the theme. Coding is hard, hahaha. Good job!

smbe19 2018-12-05 21:26

Could you upload a Linux build of the game? It looks really fun in the screenshots ;)

silvae 2018-12-05 23:45

@smbe19 I tried but it was giving me all sorts of issues unfortunately. If I get it going I'll be sure to let you know!

I love the effect in the mini-games when you choose to go outside. Very good game!!

danilo-freire 2018-12-06 02:27

Hey guys, hope you had a nice time during the jam! Next time think of us (mac users) to play your game too! A web build works for all sides! :p

cjn 2018-12-06 02:53

This is a really good game. Love the art, music and the tasks that you do in the game. I really enjoyed it. As I was playing it though it crashed when I was halfway through but other than that Well done!

silvae 2018-12-06 03:01

@danilo-freire Absolutely! For some reason Unity was giving me issues when trying to build for anything outside of windows but I'll make sure to sort it all out before the next jam. Hope you had a nice jam as well!

marta 2018-12-06 10:12

Nice idea, really innovative!

minelsaygisever 2018-12-06 18:07

nice concept, good job ^^

vimlark 2018-12-07 09:46

Great idea and well executed. Made me anxious as the time kept getting lower. It got the feeling I think you were going for. Really fun.

albinobat 2018-12-08 07:48

Really captures the feel of making a game, very good! only complaints are sometimes in the music minigame my button presses didn't seem to register, and it would have been nice to have some kind of warning for when a meter is close to being full

nekonyo 2018-12-08 11:09

Nice game, I don't like to use Q,W,E,R for the music maybe the arrows or D,F,(G,H|| J,K) I'm not sure what is better 🤔. The game concept is cool but the games music and sound requires an specific amount of time. I think there should not be that limitation.

nathanhoad 2018-12-09 04:27

Such a good idea. That was fun :)

azayiah 2018-12-11 12:32
