About

In this game your job as the player is to delay the worst posible inevitable thing - getting up.

You do this by destroying your motivation:
* Playing games,
* Considering your existance when you see how much work needs to be done,
* And more...

The catch is that if you do one thing for to long you will get bored and your motivation to get up and do something will start rising - *just like real life*!

I really liked the simple art style and the different apps! I wasn't really sure how close I was to getting up, maybe that was the number at the bottom? Also I wish the music loop was a little longer

Took me a minute to fully understand which activities penalized me and which rewarded me but I eventually fell into a groove there. I really liked the colors you used and the visuals in general were very pleasing. Funny concept and well done!

Visually it was very appealing and you nailed the mood for me! Especially since, while I've seen people do games about homework and procrastination, I never saw one so realistic and kudos to you for that. Fantastic work!

What a cool spin on the theme! I worked pretty hard on not waking up. It felt like I made it a few minutes in. And I have nothing to show for it :(

I wish there was some kind of timer that showed me how well I held on. Pretty cool concept. I liked the game within the game with the cat. It was quite the frenzy to keep up. The art was pretty cute too. Thank you for the game.

It's a very creative spin on the theme! With that music and those aesthetics, I loved the chill vibes!

I think if the motivation score was visible from any screen, I would have understood the dynamics faster. I also think that some kind of hook (maybe show how much time I spent before failing) would be cool to get me to replay the game over and over to improve.

Nice game. I couldn't always turn the alarm off. Not sure if that was a bug or a feature.

Haha why do I feel so attacked :smile: Emails, silly mobile games, random apps, videos and news - and there goes my first 2 hours of the day!

Cool game, I like the visuals. Pretty moody.

So I see you left out the ability to simply go back to sleep. Too OP? It's my ultimate move!

Changing backgrounds only worked once for me, if that was on purpose then there wasn't any feedback to tell me I couldn't do it again.

Some clicks and clacks when interacting with the apps and games would really sell it, that and groans of boredom? Cause you can only know how motivated you are on the home screen so have no idea if you're missing an opportunity to procrastinate with something else.

I love the art! One thing though, I thought that the "turn off" button in the settings means to turn off all alarms and then I wondered why I was back in the menu. Not sure if it was just me though.
