Oh no ratings? This was really cool.

hap 2025-10-06 12:29

Oh noes! Adult life is hard :D I became alcoholic much quicker than I tought I will

jk5000 2025-10-06 14:28

Saying no and you will soon lose. But at least I got a early retirement.

melon6826 2025-10-06 15:04

Difficult life of the adult. Difficult times of my mouse.

cobear25 2025-10-06 19:49

This game is brutal! Almost as brutal as real life. Great game. Haven't gotten remotely close to age 60 yet

artificer 2025-10-06 20:07

Man that education bar feels logarithmic, love a good clicker but I didn't make it out of my 20s lol

maxiney 2025-10-06 20:42

A satirical yet realistic game. I ended up in prison at 23🤣 (ironically, I'm exactly 23 in real life).

ulziton 2025-10-06 22:47

scary one, like the idea

steven-garberg 2025-10-06 23:54

This was a little too real. 😅 Great concept for a game!

kassanu 2025-10-07 00:38

Way too real, always ended up running out of happiness. The pressure from not moving out took so much after the declining 2 times.

mrbamboo 2025-10-07 00:53

LOOOOOOL !!!

fernando-tonon-de-rossi 2025-10-07 04:15

I got broke só soon 😅 nice concept!

saphi 2025-10-07 06:54

I loved it, and a cool interpretation of the theme ! I wanted to rate it though :c

memel06 2025-10-07 07:32

Brutal. I loved how simple but engaging it is. The feeling of urge about having happiness but have to earn money is strong. Good work!

2025-10-07 07:51

Felt this in my bones.. xD

evgenii-petrov 2025-10-07 09:34

Funny clicker. Obviously my hobby in this game is hobby gamedev as it does not make me happier =)

helen 2025-10-07 09:34

Just like reality :D - it also feels like work to play

hymirth 2025-10-07 11:38

Fun mechanic, hits close to home :)

electric-sun 2025-10-07 11:54

Amazing game! Crazy impressive that you made this over just a weekend! thank goodness that playing games doesn't undo education in real life, that would be too much.

kazetheroth 2025-10-07 12:20

Doing University and Kids at the same time is a whole other level life commitment Good job making this game!

kremlebot 2025-10-07 13:36

@electric-sun Oh well, there's no art, plus I'm not really good at programming and made it on the Scratch engine.

pandalk 2025-10-07 14:06

fun game, I wonder if I would have liked it more as a turn based game rather than a button mash one !

amikatag 2025-10-07 15:09

It's such a brutal game...

Jokes aside, very nice concept for a basic clicker game

melomaner 2025-10-07 16:33

An interesting clicker about life :) But I couldn’t find the right balance between work, studying, and personal life =D way too hard!

halfpintofbitter 2025-10-07 17:40

End up a depressed alcoholic in your mid-twenties... Sounds about right

rabbitdit 2025-10-07 17:48

To difficult for me :( Same as becoming an adult.

skylone 2025-10-07 18:34

500$ at the age of 18? Pff, this life is too easy. fun game)

yatsu 2025-10-07 19:01

horror even without graphics

oxropy 2025-10-07 19:07

20 and depressed :(

kremlebot 2025-10-07 19:11

@oxropy to fast

ultraviolet 2025-10-07 20:12

I really liked the idea of the game. You start to think about your life. Scary and fun

wormkingboo 2025-10-07 20:35

LOL depressing and hilarious. I'm going to keep trying for that age 60 retirement 🥲

syphorce 2025-10-07 22:36

This was pretty fun! The randomness of it made sure that I didn't have the same run. My finger got tired of clicking after a while so I would suggest an alternate control.

rubentipparach 2025-10-08 00:03

I can relate, am in jail now

daphnini 2025-10-08 00:34

Wow I unlocked alcoholism really quickly. Fun game, I like it! A bit depressing, but it seems like that's the vibe you were going for

nef1k 2025-10-08 01:55

This one's so simple and so... I mean I can't live past my current age which is around 30. I'm kinda worries now Great game though!

deruitda 2025-10-08 02:48

Funny! Wish I could rate it

starduster 2025-10-08 03:00

Lmao, pushed into alcoholism by parents nagging me too much. I feel I don't have the mouseclick speed to make it past 30 though.

borealteuthidia 2025-10-08 04:21

Such a cool game! Also really impressive that it was made in scratch. I'm impressed at how well you pulled this concept off! This game might hit too close to home :sob:

megalukes 2025-10-08 04:29

Why does that feel like my life when I was 18? Really cool game. Well done!

runningopenloop 2025-10-08 06:02

This has to be the best scratch game ever. Very impressed... you need to update your submission to allow ratings. I did make it to retirement! (eventually).

twistways 2025-10-08 08:14

Really nice little game!

kremlebot 2025-10-08 08:26

@deruitda @melomaner @jesus-gonzalez @hap @runningopenloop @borealteuthidia @syphorce, hey, I added the ability to rate

sypiac 2025-10-08 08:28

I give up on life, too hard

kalbshack 2025-10-08 08:29

Flashbacks getting into the 'real' world... Nice Idea

kagegona 2025-10-08 08:36

interesting take xD the fact that there is no sound makes the game mood even more depressing

2025-10-08 08:44

Great job! It's a very good game.

jasminej2003 2025-10-08 08:47

Nice game!

skale 2025-10-08 08:48

Cool concept. I felt sad while playing, it reminds me of real life T_T. Solid entry, it's a pity that it's not in the COMPO

poboy 2025-10-08 08:50

Loving the cold open into trading happiness for money :')

I entered into a string of failed relationships making just enough to stay in university before my parents came and killed me.

Very funny game, extremely unfair just like normal adulthood

tangling 2025-10-08 08:52

Adult life is hard . true. All I want is to live to 60

kremlebot 2025-10-08 08:52

@skale It is a COMPO, I just miss-clicked

skale 2025-10-08 08:58

@kremlebot That must be really frustrating :( I hope it still works out well for you in jam!

mj12 2025-10-08 08:59

Realistic, though the hobby is underpowered

kafuuchino 2025-10-08 09:11

Innovative mechanics, and love the theme. The game really showed me (a student right now) how hard life would be :(

liam 2025-10-08 09:57

Brutally difficult, you nailed the reality of adult life. Would have loved a restart option from the failure screen!

gamedevtraum 2025-10-08 13:01

that was super hard :rofl: Agreed with liam, a "play again" button would be nice. Another idea could be making the years pass faster as you get older :cry:

eugenik 2025-10-09 14:20

Very cool.

regmont 2025-10-09 18:04

The most difficult game: life

nekobones 2025-10-09 18:35

Basically a horror game lol. It's a little hard for me to complete the game, tried several times but still failing. But it still make sense since life goes excactly that hard... Nice concept, good job!

ochpochpunk 2025-10-09 20:34

Oh no dude, that's too painful, you shouldn’t make games this cruel :) It would be nice to have some visual and audio feedback on clicks — without it, the gameplay feels a bit dull. Overall though, it’s a solid piece of work!
