Wow! That's a realistic simulator! I can only survive for a month apparently. I liked the song and events description (and outcome). Also, it would be great to have some tooltips explaining every activity, as I'm still curious what was the topmost one about.

@bereg; Life is tough. A good point with the tool tips - I realize looking at it again, it is a bit confusing. - You know the thing that you have your head all in on it and the logic is just there - but then again, it's only in your head. The topmost one (I guess you refer to progress) is about how your life is progressing and going (study, work, etc.).

This is a really cool game, the music is really catchy too!

I loved background music, it was cool, and I'm very sorry for your situation. At first I thought that this game not so interesting, but then I tried to play the game, and I really got into it, it's interesting to manage your daily activities in this game!

P.S. I always denied "Your friend want to sell drugs" and always accepted "Grandma want's to visit" :D

Interesting simulation. Balancing the various activities in life was a bit of a challenge. It's also not often that you hear an original acoustic guitar song in a LD Jam game, either - so that was interesting.

Great take on the theme! The events would sometimes repeat the same ones a few times in a row but overall it was fun :)

Cool, I liked your game, although I needed a second walkthrough to get what I need to do, I overread the part that I need to move the blocks :D but then it was quite fun, and I got to day 21. Oh and loved the song, good job, I might play some more rounds to get to more days

Cool game, must say that at first i was having problem with controlls, but after some time i managed to survive 15 days. Good entry!

a face :neutral_face: when you realize that you play real life simulator but the background music is awesome :smiley::musical_note: and keep you playing until the end. worth it:thumbsup_tone2:

I survived for 60 days! Pretty fun simulation, well done! And your song is addictive xD

It would be even better with a better UI and some feedback (sounds and visual effects)

snesgaard 2020-04-21 20:52

I want this song to play at my funeral XD

wilsk 2020-04-22 09:42

Well, I lived to 31 days, I guess that's an achievement? Thanks for the game :)

bulle 2020-04-22 11:53

@aret24 Thanks :)! I think the graphics could have made it more interesting - I mean, gradient was sort of a last resort - you should have seen my development colors! - And not selling drugs is a good thing - bad for cash flow though...

bulle 2020-04-22 11:55

@43sam Thanks. With the events, it was my implementation that was wrong. I first made a way where I could add events and then they would only play once. Then I realized that Grandma might want to visit more than once. Issue was then that I had to many events and they were not weighted so I added more events - I realize that the random selection with above implementation issues might look weird xD!

bulle 2020-04-22 11:57

@Solah 60 days is really good! - I had my wife run it through multiple time and she managed to get a bit higher (in the 70s) but not that much. And thanks for the input on feedback - just looked through it and replayed it and I agree - just some sounds and vibration would do a whole lot. To be honest, this was never on my backlog of stuff to do but it might have been something easy to do and get live - this is noted for the next time up :)!

zerion 2020-04-22 19:41

Loved it :)

pandakipu 2020-04-22 19:44

72 days :) It simple and fun, good work.

lenny-rudeberg 2020-04-23 06:16

This song has become a part of my life now! Found the game surprisingly addictive once I worked it out

luckyfeathers 2020-04-25 00:17

The music is awesome. After like 3 minutes it starts to get annoying though, but it's still awesome! =D Good game overall, especially for a compo.

cg-fred 2020-04-25 08:55

Ohh no I killed my granny! Great music in the game and the concept is pretty cool. Liked the fact that you had events which influences the game, like the event to go on vacation while a pandemic. Thanks for rating and feedback you gave my game.

fernando-tonon-de-rossi 2020-04-26 02:04

I could listen to this song all day long!

Very nice concept! Simple enough to do in a weekend and still very funny!

Even if it isn't awesome letting my gramma visit, I just couldn't say no! :laughing:

Congratulations!

bulle 2020-04-27 08:31

@luckyfeathers Thanks for playing :)! Yeah, I know - was a last time saving - would have loved to make other in game sounds and vibes :)

@cg-fred Thanks for playing it and the feedback :). And was a pleasure playing your game as well :).

@fernando-tonon-de-rossi Hahaha, a bit short song for an all day repeat :P! Thanks, and thanks for playing :)

knason 2020-05-03 18:27

Haha this was awesome! I loved the song playing in the background! I think this game had a lot of humor in it and that is quite refreshing. lovely! good job!

bulle 2020-05-06 08:44

@knason Thanks a lot :)
