You did the thing that I've always dreamed. The game is neat and well but maybe you should continue it to improve more. Thanks for the webgl build as well.

Cool casual game. I kept being terrible at entertainment for some reason. Probably not a good sign for an indie game dev haha.\n\nI liked the paper-drawn style. You selected a nice piece of music to go with it too. I liked the characters, they're cute. Mechanically the game appeared to work really nicely. I could understand what was happening at any point without trouble.\n\nSome little points:\n* In a game like this, where everything is focused on the text, you want to triple-check things like spelling and grammar. I know that's boring and hard! But for example \"Do you want with them?\" pretty clearly needs a verb. I get the sense of what you mean, luckily.\n* Further to this, the text appeared low-resolution \/ pixellated on my screen. If the text is important, it should be very legible. The font choice was barely ok, but every character should definitely be crisp and clear.\n* I'd like to know how close I am to the end of my life! Sometimes I'd click away and it would be a surprise. I feel like there's also a lot of potential here for branching choices \/ making the most of the time you have left.\n* Also I think those little characters should be giving me advice about what to do in the situation. The characters don't really get involved with the game much which is a shame because you've come up with so much background for them.\n\nOverall, I enjoyed the game for one or two play-throughs. Given the limited time-span of the jam it's understandable you'd want to get the basics down first, and certainly there's a lot here that can be expanded on. Congratulations on what you've made!","likes":4,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kristian David","author_uid":"1009949","time":"2017-04-30T02:55:00Z","epoch":1493520900,"modified":1493520900,"text":"The idea is good but it is not implemented well in the game but it is good for something created in just 3 days","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JOrbits","author_uid":"1005225","time":"2017-05-01T06:46:53Z","epoch":1493621213,"modified":1493621213,"text":"I think making other options to answer would make the game more intresting (Not only \"yes\" and \"no\").","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TimTipGames","author_uid":"1000435","time":"2017-05-01T06:55:25Z","epoch":1493621725,"modified":1493621773,"text":"I like the idea and for the most part the execution. \n\nI wish that there were more interactions with the guys at some point.

Thank you very much for the comments!\n@lars-dk, yeah, the grammar is terrible. As you may guess, all was added in the latest moment and needs fixes - smth I'm going to focus on.

Like you are more supposed to interact with them then just answering questions? I like it! I guess this is smth I gonna focus on!\nThanks to your comments I feel like the game is actually something worth developing further. So I guess I'll go on with this))) I'm really excited on how well-built this jam is.

The stick people drawings and feel-god music were a welcome addition and created some pleasant mood.\n\nIn terms of gameplay it reminded me of Reigns, but I must admit that I didn't really feel challenged when trying to keep all 6 areas balanced. Perhaps it's not the intention at all. If it is, maybe some tuning could help. Also, as others have mentioned, it felt more about personal decisions, but this could just be a matter of UX.\n\nCongrats on your first game, hope you two enjoyed making it!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Flaterectomy","author_uid":"1003398","time":"2017-05-17T17:51:53Z","epoch":1495043513,"modified":1495043513,"text":"A pretty cool way to tackle a life simulation. After the first time where I considered things carefully I just clicked 'yes' on everything, and things still turned out pretty good. It would've been nice to have dramatic results. I spoiled my life's work that time, sure, but I was loved and had a good time living. A shame that much of what you wrote in the description of the game didn't get represented in the game itself.\n\nThe art is pretty basic. I see what you were doing with it, but there is room for polish and diversity with the characters and their houses. With multiple results it was sometimes hard to see what numbers changed and in which direction they changed. A +1 or -1 popping off the numbers and fading out, for instance, would have been helpful.\n\nAll in all I enjoyed this entry!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"feips","author_uid":"1004805","time":"2017-05-17T18:14:03Z","epoch":1495044843,"modified":1495044843,"text":"I love the concept!
