I had no time to get back into unity so I used my work skills to create a game in Excel and VBA.
In this game you need to decide how you'll spend your precious time during a year.
One perk of using excel is you get the graphs for free which enabled me to visualize the players progress.

Important: To play this game you'll need to download it, open it in Excel and allow macro's to be run.

Gotta say, props on using Excel VBA to make a game! Brings me back memories of my old job, hahaha!

Original idea, but sadly it requires a $100 software to play. No thanks.

I can't unfortunately play it as I have no Excel, but I want to give you a million zillion points for making a game in Excel! :)

"To play this game you’ll need to download it, open it in Excel" 5/5 :D

Very innovative, I love the idea! I died of physical pain repeatedly changing values slightly until I finally just survived with a score of 2.51. One issue is that it is extremely finicky, changing one value by 0.5 adjusts the whole outcome by a considerable amount. Overall good idea.

Sadly doesn't work in LibreCalc (I'm trying to figure out the vb errors it's throwing - but my excel skills are low ;) )... Great idea though!

I like it! It's the best Excel game I saw (It is first one, but it's not important) Balance for me is one of most difficult challenges (programming is on the first place), So, I enjoyed. And I died of physical pain :)

Death caused by mental pain. Day 359.
Its interesting approach, reminded mme of old text games.

Dude, you are getting maximum scores from me, hands down. This is just so genius, though I'll admit to being an excel geek to begin with. It's what games jams should be all about, unexpected, outside-the-box experiences that make you think and see the world in a new light.

I did manage to reach 365 days finally. Looks like I'm not spending nearly enough hours per day working out in real life!!
