I like the graphics of the bedroom and Jonny, although the pop-ups and screen graphics might be too pixelated and hurt readability. \n\nIt took me a few goes to get a grasp on all the mechanics; it wasn't clear to me that I had to click to earn points. I don't mind a good clicker game but mixing it was keyboard movement felt a little strange, you probably could have had the mouse used for all actions. Also, the food items seemed to have too many disadvantages, so I ended up not eating and just going with sleep. Maybe I would have experimented with the balance a bit more but the lack of a retry option discouraged this.\n\nI think, overall, that the biggest improvement you could make would be to make the game more player-friendly; retry option, simpler control scheme, label the UI elements, etc.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Call_me_Nutty","author_uid":"1051717","time":"2017-12-29T08:44:56Z","epoch":1514537096,"modified":1514537096,"text":"Thank you everyone for playing my first Ludum Dare game :D.
