Saying no and you will soon lose. But at least I got a early retirement.

Difficult life of the adult. Difficult times of my mouse.

This game is brutal! Almost as brutal as real life. Great game. Haven't gotten remotely close to age 60 yet

Man that education bar feels logarithmic, love a good clicker but I didn't make it out of my 20s lol

A satirical yet realistic game. I ended up in prison at 23🤣 (ironically, I'm exactly 23 in real life).

This was a little too real. 😅 Great concept for a game!
kassanu7 Oct 2025, 00:38
Way too real, always ended up running out of happiness. The pressure from not moving out took so much after the declining 2 times.
Saphi7 Oct 2025, 06:54
I loved it, and a cool interpretation of the theme !
I wanted to rate it though :c

Brutal. I loved how simple but engaging it is. The feeling of urge about having happiness but have to earn money is strong. Good work!

Funny clicker. Obviously my hobby in this game is hobby gamedev as it does not make me happier =)
Helen7 Oct 2025, 09:34
Just like reality :D - it also feels like work to play
Hymirth7 Oct 2025, 11:38
Fun mechanic, hits close to home :)

Amazing game! Crazy impressive that you made this over just a weekend! thank goodness that playing games doesn't undo education in real life, that would be too much.

Doing University and Kids at the same time is a whole other level life commitment
Good job making this game!

@electric-sun Oh well, there's no art, plus I'm not really good at programming and made it on the Scratch engine.

fun game, I wonder if I would have liked it more as a turn based game rather than a button mash one !

It's such a brutal game...

Jokes aside, very nice concept for a basic clicker game

An interesting clicker about life :) But I couldn’t find the right balance between work, studying, and personal life =D way too hard!
HalfPintofBitter7 Oct 2025, 17:40
End up a depressed alcoholic in your mid-twenties...
Sounds about right
rabbitdit7 Oct 2025, 17:48
To difficult for me :(
Same as becoming an adult.
Skylone7 Oct 2025, 18:34
500$ at the age of 18? Pff, this life is too easy.
fun game)

horror even without graphics
Oxropy7 Oct 2025, 19:07
20 and depressed :(

I really liked the idea of the game. You start to think about your life. Scary and fun

WormKingBoo7 Oct 2025, 20:35
LOL depressing and hilarious. I'm going to keep trying for that age 60 retirement 🥲

Syphorce7 Oct 2025, 22:36
This was pretty fun! The randomness of it made sure that I didn't have the same run. My finger got tired of clicking after a while so I would suggest an alternate control.
Daphnini8 Oct 2025, 00:34
Wow I unlocked alcoholism really quickly. Fun game, I like it! A bit depressing, but it seems like that's the vibe you were going for
Nef1k8 Oct 2025, 01:55
This one's so simple and so... I mean
I can't live past my current age which is around 30. I'm kinda worries now
Great game though!

Deruitda8 Oct 2025, 02:48
Funny! Wish I could rate it
starduster8 Oct 2025, 03:00
Lmao, pushed into alcoholism by parents nagging me too much. I feel I don't have the mouseclick speed to make it past 30 though.

Such a cool game! Also really impressive that it was made in scratch. I'm impressed at how well you pulled this concept off! This game might hit too close to home :sob:

megalukes8 Oct 2025, 04:29
Why does that feel like my life when I was 18? Really cool game. Well done!

This has to be the best scratch game ever. Very impressed... you need to update your submission to allow ratings. I did make it to retirement! (eventually).
twistways8 Oct 2025, 08:14
Really nice little game!
SYPIAC8 Oct 2025, 08:28
I give up on life, too hard

Flashbacks getting into the 'real' world... Nice Idea
Kagegona
Kagegona8 Oct 2025, 08:36
interesting take xD the fact that there is no sound makes the game mood even more depressing
Tim Viter8 Oct 2025, 08:44
Great job! It's a very good game.

skale8 Oct 2025, 08:48
Cool concept. I felt sad while playing, it reminds me of real life T_T. Solid entry, it's a pity that it's not in the COMPO

Loving the cold open into trading happiness for money :')

I entered into a string of failed relationships making just enough to stay in university before my parents came and killed me.

Very funny game, extremely unfair just like normal adulthood

Adult life is hard . true. All I want is to live to 60

skale8 Oct 2025, 08:58
@kremlebot That must be really frustrating :( I hope it still works out well for you in jam!

Innovative mechanics, and love the theme. The game really showed me (a student right now) how hard life would be :(
Liam
Liam8 Oct 2025, 09:57
Brutally difficult, you nailed the reality of adult life. Would have loved a restart option from the failure screen!
GameDevTraum
GameDevTraum8 Oct 2025, 13:01
that was super hard :rofl:
Agreed with liam, a "play again" button would be nice. Another idea could be making the years pass faster as you get older :cry:

NekoBones9 Oct 2025, 18:35
Basically a horror game lol. It's a little hard for me to complete the game, tried several times but still failing. But it still make sense since life goes excactly that hard... Nice concept, good job!

OchPochPunk9 Oct 2025, 20:34
Oh no dude, that's too painful, you shouldn’t make games this cruel :)
It would be nice to have some visual and audio feedback on clicks — without it, the gameplay feels a bit dull.
Overall though, it’s a solid piece of work!
