IMPORTANT - Please Play in Full Screen!!



Update: Fixed some typos and the fullscreen problem...or not.


Anyway enjoy the game! Its an extremely short game about the loop that I stuck in - perhaps the same for you guys.

There are hidden levels and you need to figure It out how to break the loop(or not)

WSAD / Arrow Keys to move

Design, Music and Code by me.


Very Rush ~~Compo~~ Jam Game made in a day. *Little time could I have for making this game. * I have to some CC resources for sprites. I do make everything else by myself, especially for music. Please enjoy the BGM - Might be the only thing I could say 'qualified' for ld jam.

Interesting concept that I can relate to. The game is simple, but gives a clear message. I believe that English is not your main language, because there are some errors in the messages. Also, for me, the text is a little bit too far right and out of its box.
Thank you for the game experience!

Nice game, but text alignment made the messages hard to read. I was playing the HTML5 version.

Interesting concept but not much of gameplay. Some obstacles would make it better.

I did not really get what was the goal in this game. But I enjoyed the mood of it.

Nice game, especially for a game made by one person.
I had issue with text when i was in windowed WebGL, but when i went to fullscreen, it was ok!
Congrats

A well told and interesting story. You really make me feel like I was stuck in a loop.

Nice game! The ambient soundtrack fits the mood perfectly, although the sound effects can be a bit too loud compared to it at times, which makes it harder to enjoy it in the fullest.

Interesting story that made a nice loop of cleaning and going to work.

Just a little feedback:

1. I would either decrease the volume of the sound effects or increase the volume of the ambient background because the sound effects were very jarring and juxtaposed to the ambient background music felt like they took away from the overall game. (If possible it would also be nice, if you are going for an ambient feel, to change the sound effects to be a little more ambient)
2. It would be cool if the items around the level related a little more to the task at hand, such as a pillow when picking up a pillow etc. to give the player a little bit of an inclination as to what task they will be completing.

Besides those two small things the game was really well done for 1 day. The art style coupled with the background created a nice atmosphere and the controls felt fluid. Nice Job!

The story is pretty interesting and the audio really fits the mood of the game. I liked how you interpreted the theme. Good job on this one!

Heck man, this is brilliant! I beat the game, it's amazing!
Every thing is well thought. From beginning to end. It made me some thinking.
Also cool minimalistic style! Mood is also pretty noticable.

Dialogs are pretty well thought out, it's really fun to read them ;D

But it's seem I didn't figure out how icons and problems are related. Because each time the same icon triggers other kids of story. Is there any relation?

Generally very well done!

Simple yet polished game. Love the music, the step sound can be smaller. Played quite some games about routine in LD47 and this is the best so far.

Liked the audio. The movement and art was very retro which I liked.

I wasn't sure if I reached the end, since I could still move and there was no indicator that I had finished but overall amazing idea, loved the end, I'd like to see an expanded version, maybe a redemption arc? Maybe you actually break the loop?

Cool game!

The story behind the game is interesting. It has a great atmosphere. I like the minimalistic style of the game.

Some things that bothered me (didn't affect my experience, it was stil great):

• The icons could've been a bit more related to the actual problems. At least I couldn't figure out some of those.

• Playing the HTML version without full screen would make the text appear outside the box.

Aside of those little things, it's very well done. Good job!
