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

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!)

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

Interesting concept. But does it have a real goal ?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
