Adorable little game! =) These pixel art apartaments are cute. Music fits, but gets a bit annoying when repeated such many times. Also, I found that player can easily run into debts without any consequences. Is it a bug? =)

Good game! Graphics and music are cute

@yngvarr the debt thing is definitely a bug :( a little to big to squash when we discovered it but I imagine @doctormozart and I will revisit this after the rating period. Good catch ;) The main game music is something we also had to rush unfortunately. Thank you for the feedback!

Cute game, lots of good text content. I like art too. Looks like you set up a nice system. The gameplay is a bit random. Maybe it would help if you could have multiple things going at once, or balance resources a bit. Is there an end to the game? I just stopped cause it seemed to be repeating after a while.

soothing music, great art and great concept. Well done my friend!

Nice interface, with a strong theme. I like the choice of colours in this particular case, as the game's art style is calming to look at. The buttons feel interactive the way the increase in size when you hover over them, and I appreciate being able to play this in the browser. Maybe a little more fx such are particle bills flying when you gain money after doing certain activities, and sound that varies depending on the amount of money you gain could be added. The buttons might need extra sound to them as well. Good job, overall.

I loved figuring out what each reference is supposed to be! (that Brooklyn Nine Nine one!) You did a great job for a jam game, I loved upgrading the room with the little trinkets. Really cute graphics and music. Awesome work!

Cute graphics and nice mood~ Didn't seem to have a end though, so stopped after some time. Also I was able to move to the flat and then to the basement, that was kinda weird XD Great job overall!

doctormozart 2019-05-02 23:54

@nihilaleph Thanks! Aha, the flat->basement upgrade is definitely a glitch, but we discovered it after the jam had ended. Hehe. Nice catch. Thanks for playing. :)

Cute game! Reminded me a lot of Game Dev Tycoon in aesthetic. The living spaces you could scroll around were a neat touch, too.

Nice job! I loved the leage of lemons and some of the other references that I got. Good job on making much content/different options, I didn't feel stuff repeated too much. :thumbsup:

Really fun little experience. The gameplay itself is just clicking one of three options, but I was kinda glued to the screen to see, what surprises come next. The writing is on point and rather funny. The art is basic, but explodes with cool details. I love how the rooms change depending on the actions. Well done.

And that tune is really catchy and fits the mood perfectly. Was ist composed for the game exclusively?

Great work, keep it up!

purrseus 2019-05-07 12:46

Whoa, you crammed a lot of content into this one! Art and audio are really well done, I love to see my room evolve by my actions :) I don't even know what's so addicting about your "gameplay" loop, but I couldn't stop clicking and enjoying and now I'm a star! :)

Well done!

Woooww!! I'm so damn famous now. The story just keeps going on and on which is really cool, the music is really good and moody, art is OK, nothing too special obviously cause of it's only 1 frame pretty much, but the pixel font and everything is rly good in the game. It was fun to just sit and click M1 and just rant stuff on **TWITTER**. Oh and the humor was also on point. Siiiiick!!!

sylvie 2019-05-08 05:13

This was great, I liked that there was a pretty large variety of choices, and that you get little items that fill up your living space.

bar 2019-05-08 23:44

Excellent game! Its a lot of fun watching the progression as you gain random stuff from events.

jk5000 2019-05-09 18:13

A interesting little game. For me it could have been even more interesting, if it had more of a commentary on the social media culture. Overall a pretty good LD game. Well done.

oddsocks 2019-05-09 18:50

Fantastic game. Love the pixel art graphics. I think there is a lot of room for new content. Maybe we’ll see a larger post LD version? 😁 Congrats on making a fab game 🙌

philipprapp95 2019-05-10 01:06

WOW, that's a really awesome game, it made so much fun! Spend really long time playing this game, it's so cool that the story seems to never end. Very much possibilities, i like it. The graphics are also really great. Please continue working on this game!

doctormozart 2019-05-10 05:15

@duke Thank-you for your kind words! The music was written specifically for this game - my partner whipped it out during the last couple hours of the jam! (that is jealousy you hear in my voice, hehe).

@purrseus I'm so glad you enjoyed it. We were aiming for a relaxing gameplay loop where you get the time and space to enjoy the changing world around you. :D

@oddsocks Wow! Thank-you so much for the positive feedback. We're not too sure if we'll reexplore this post jam yet other than to do some bug fixing. There was a lot more we originally wanted to add in to expand some of the gameplay aspects and story - if we head that direction we'll definitely let you know. :smiley:
