Quite close to reality haha. It was fun trying to the game. And I like the messages you get at the end: RIP. I wish I had a healthier life. Haha hilarious!

It's a great idea but the execution can use some work. I need something to drag me into it. Something more to say "hey it's worth figuring it out". As a fellow dev though, I can totally see where you're going with this and I still think there's a lot of potential. Graphics and audios are solid. Keep up the great work!

Interesting concept. Would be nice to get some more clues or to explain the clues while you are growing. It's not easy to figure out what to balance more based on a smile or not? Maybe I am missing something?

Nice animations and interesting concept. And sleep is always important!
The gameplay is a little opaque though and the clicking and dragging can take quite a while. Also only realized later on that having some time for yourself meant having a blank space.

Quite an entertaining game! I played a lot with the possibilities and finally got a death with all positive numbers! There isnt really much to complain about except maybe how irritating it can be to be dragging all the squares one by one.
Apart from that, well done!

A cool little entry - a bit unsure of the consequence of choices... reminds me of "Alter Ego"

The drag and drop is annoying. I would much rather be able to just click the buttons and they would get added in order. Or, click once to select activity, and click multiple times into the calendar to schedule it. Or, even better yet, keyboard shortcuts. This sole reason made me stop playing after 2 play throughs.

I like your interpretation of the theme. Really nice look and feel, other that UI.

Really nice graphics and animations, like play 4-5 time but never arrive to be positive in money perhaps I sleep to much x)

A different approach on the same idea I had. Now I know why you appreciated my game. Totally love your art and the way the player's avatar transforms. For a moment, I thought there would be new categories popping in, like... significant other... children... family... so that you have to restructure every "phase" of your life, the more complex it becomes. Totally love it.

Cool game. Only thing is it was pretty annoying dragging every item on a spot one at a time. Besides that I really enjoyed it.

I love the animation of the character !
I would like to be able to click to add tasks to the calendar in addition of the drag&drop system. Also I think that making all the corners of all buttons and panels round would match the style of the game way better (I'm not an artist tho)

Loved the mellow music. I could only get two outcomes and they both seemed terrible. Maybe I should leave more spots blank. Was tough to figure out what made you healthy, since it always said I should be living a healthier life. Still, nice idea.
