I loved the aesthetic of this game! Reminded me of the old Pokemon games on my gameboy. Also the story was fun and charming, awesome job!

I really enjoyed the mood of your game, the music and the visuals working perfectly together. I understand you only have 48 hours, but I wanted more of the story to actually get more of your take on the theme.

Nice entry!

Loved the Pokemon vibe! I was also pleasantly surprised that there was more to the story than just going between work and home like I expected!

Fun story game!! Like the GBStudio retro vibe. Very creative with all the interactions. I did a story adventure as well during the compo, so I know if takes a lot of time to make a story, even one that might feel short, so extra props to you for making such a detailed story. :grinning:

Not breaking out of routine by choice that's for sure! Got that gameboy feel just right, nice job.

Is this an actual GameBoy game? You should highlight that more in the description! I only found out about it in the comments.

Very good, very retro and well done, I liked the multiple endings and the retro music!

I had fun and was enjoying the story each day. It ended a little abruptly, but I understand that considering this is a game jam. Nice job!

Cool that you made an actual gameboy game. I tried the web version but the pixel art was slightly skewed so i ran it in an emulator for the full experience. Its a nice little narrative thing, would have been nice to have a few more gameplay elements or sort of mini games. Also I was a bit dissapointed I only got music when brushing my teeth, would have liked a bit more, but hey. Short and sweet, good job.

the only sad thing, that the game was really short other than that really well done.

Captured the GameBoy feeling perfectly, I wish there would have always been some music going though. Additionally, the first loop could have happened one or two more times to capture that stuck in a loop feeling, making the break in routine more of an actual break in the loop.
