Congratulations ! You’re now the owner of a geek !

Take good care of your geek, as it is a fragile and delicate creature. Find some work, play some video games, and don’t forget to eat and sleep !

Controls are easy, just use your mouse ;) (I don’t know for mobile, haven’t tested yet)

Good luck with your geek !

PS: I recommend playing this game with google chrome/chromium, as safari and firefox don’t seem to be able to use the font.
PS2 : to see the sources, just right-click -> view code source

well I liked UIs and art in general. don't get me wrong I hadn't fun but I guess it's geek's life so... :D

ralfz11 Dec 2016, 19:08

Really Amazing game. I loved it!

Artsicle11 Dec 2016, 21:02

Hard in the beginning, but you get used to it. My favorite game of the competition so far!

Miotis11 Dec 2016, 23:33

The UI is pretty awesome!

KonH12 Dec 2016, 06:10

Nice game :)

DiscoFish12 Dec 2016, 15:43

Nice and fun game ))

SoerenBachNielsen12 Dec 2016, 15:48

Art is awesome! And so ironic looking at us geeks from the outside.. so boring. That's why this is genious! Good work.

SimonHutchinson12 Dec 2016, 15:54

Cool. There's a lot going on here, but I like the feel of it all (and the UI).

Game_Coder12 Dec 2016, 16:12

This Is Epic!

It fails to run on Chrome for me. I'm getting an unexpected token on line 85 - "function drawPixel(x,y,r,g,b,a = 255)" - I don't think default arguments are a part of standard JS?

dodormeurauthor12 Dec 2016, 16:29

That is weird, since I'm not even using this function in the end ^^ I've removed the defaults args, so now it should work :) (and just by curiosity, could you tell me your chrome and OS version ? )

A lot of very solid aspects to this game and it is addictive. I'd only ask for more things to spend all of this money on.

Somnium12 Dec 2016, 16:37

An entertaining little game, with a nice take on the theme :) I like the pixel art, it is both simple and clear!

A suggestion, if you make a post-LD version: Add some kind of visual indicator for the various bars, that illustrates the direction (and magnitude) of the change, due to the current activity.

Good and playable prototype.
Neat concept.

Max Amaden12 Dec 2016, 23:07

Cool little game, can be quite frantic at first! Keep up the good work!

Bellatrion13 Dec 2016, 13:00

Very cool game ! Nice take on the theme :)

harusame13 Dec 2016, 17:56

Cool game, fun to play ^^
I've no sound or music, it's normal ?

Quetzakol13 Dec 2016, 18:06

Funny game, really well done. Way too simple I think, I ended up dying voluntarily but there was enough content to keep me amused for quite some time :)

Yvanor13 Dec 2016, 18:51

Interesting game ! It has good idea, but gaining skills isn't really useful. Beside the lack of content (can't blame you, it's a jam), it's a nice game !

WarmLemon14 Dec 2016, 17:38

My life in a nutshell...

Garris14 Dec 2016, 22:25

I wish there had been some music for this game, because it was a little stark without it. I liked all of the different options for how to change all of the bars.

David Cookie15 Dec 2016, 16:42

It's all around a good game! It's just a shame there are no sounds nor music cause it can really change the mood of these kind of games drastically. But I guess you already put lots of effort in only 2 days to make this system work :) Well done!

Fuad17 Dec 2016, 23:29

Interesting life manager. is there some end of it?

axoona18 Dec 2016, 14:50

very cool idea. this game really has great potential.
it might be nice to add some sort of milestones like: "make your geek live for 5 days" etc.

In two days I became a master and my skills were so amazing I could sysadmin at any company I wanted to. I also ate 20 pizzas and read 5 books. The scale of a day seems a bit off :)
This game was very fun! It was pretty simple, but the job progression saved it. I enjoyed myself a lot! Congratulations.
