We live a life where you cannot escape vices.

After so many years of only watching the competition I’m in.

I worked alone with these tools:

* Title: Vice life
* Language: HTML5
* Framework: PhaserJS
* Graphics: Piskel

Long story short: A decision driven game. The probability of event types and event solutions is determined by vices (drinking, smoking, social media, gambling and night life).

Genres: simulation
Tools: Phaser, Piskel

Nice job on the theme. It would've been interesting to see more visibly change throughout the game -- use that nice interface you made! :)

@relsqui Thanks for your comment. Didn't had the time, but good point there. ;)

Nice concept and good work on the graphics.

Could have used some more direction during the game.

Cool idea. It might be interesting if you could go backwards in time...
Nice job :)

I like the idea and the original way to use the theme.

Interesting idea for sure, made me feel bad - but in a honest way - it's hard to see people take the path of self-destruction, good job reflecting that. Interesting concept, but oddly, not moralistic. Good Work!

@mark-kennedy Thanks for the comment. I went for a deep meaning. I think it is moralistic... you die young if you don't balance yourself, but maybe I didn't express myself well enough. Thanks again!

Interesting concept, would have been nice to have some sfx and music though.

I really liked this game. I died in 34 but my life was worth it!

Quite original. I died at 46 :smile:

Was wondering if I'll see a phaser game. Was not disappointed. :smile:

Good job!

This was a neat game! It felt a bit slow/repetitive at times but I liked the concept. The graphics and interface were really cool; I like how they changed depending on the choices you made.

I liked trying to build up my booze meter. XD This was a good entry for the theme, nice work! It was funny too!

Nice work! Would be nice if it gets sound effects and illustrations to the texts, but then again: I finished my game last night at 2:55 am and don't have any graphics at all :D.

Quite enjoyable. Nice, unusual visuals. I don't have much criticism to add that hasn't already been said other than the moving right seems unnecessary and the choices seem maybe a little too random. I had fun playing it and went through a couple of times. I hope you explore these themes further in the future!

I played at myself and died at 28 from social media overdose ... seems prescient.

Good job with the theme! I wish there had been a little more variety in the choices, especially later on in the game. It would also have been nice if the game could track whether you had already proposed to your lover, though that would be huge to take on.

If I click outside of the game and then click on the game again I seem to be unable to perform actions (move or 1-3). This happens consistently (on Chrome).

The game is pretty depressing, but I guess that's intentional.

I didn't really understand how the vices affected me. I think I ended up choosing a little of everything. Did I get an illness because of smoking? Did my character feel depressed because I lost a lot of money?
