I feel like a tutorial would be very helpful cuz I was kinda lost at the beginning. And at some point after interacting with the teddy bear a couple times, the game got super blurry. But I like the idea of the game, the art looks nice and the music sounds good too. Nice game!

Developer(+1)

The general idea of the game is that the screen gets blurry when you lose enough sanity, but there is a bug that sometimes after interacting with the teddy bear a few times the screen stays like that until you move to the next area which ruins the experience. You are right that the game should be explained better during the actual gameplay. No one likes reading through the rules before playing. Thanks for your feedback, it means a lot!

wtf, Asian studios logo + Math homework + Parent. Nice game.

Developer

There was an idea to name it "Asian Parent Simulator", but we didn't want to get disqualified lol. Don't tell anyone

Nice aesthetics, pretty interesting idea, gj! took me sometime to understand how to clean, but I found out the broom next room

Very cool idea! I like the cutscene in the beginning as well as in the end and the music fits the game very well. Great job!

Love the pokemon vibe in the beginning with the mother coming into your room. Great game. I enjoyed the chores. It was the right amount of challenging too. Looks great as well. Really no complaints.

Developer

Thanks for checking out the game :)

Fun and creative game with solid art and music. A few bugs like items sticking in the fridge, and interactions feeling a bit slow, but overall a well-executed entry. Great interpretation of the theme!

Submitted

pretty cool game everything was interconnected pretty well!
the only problem i found in the game was that if you accidentally put an item on top of another item not the same type in the fridge, then you cant do the mini game because they will be sticked to each other.
other than that, all of the other aspects of the game were designed in a great way

it was a little bug we found after the game release so, sorry 🙂

i think in the brackeys game jam main page in the rules section they said without deleteing the main file, we can give out later versions for bug fixing until the rating ends, isnt that right?

Developer(+1)

It is! We've just assumed that we cannot update anything, but as it was a game-breaking feature we were allowed to fix it. Big thanks to you for pointing that out! And a lesson for us to read the rules more carefully :).

Awesome game! The idea mixed with the art direction is on point. My only feedback would be the cleaning up and hold E interactions are slightly tedious. Again, good job though!

Submitted(+1)

We had such a similar idea! Yours was much more fleshed out, but regardless great work. Music choices were good, pixelart was solid. Great work!

Submitted

This is a good entry, I liked it but to me it did feel a bit slow,  like I was VERY begrudgingly doing chores. And I saw no problem with my sanity even when It dropped to zero.

Verdict: Its a good game 👍

Developer (1 edit)

Unfortunately the sanity shader does not work as expected in the html version - thanks for the report. It should cover the whole screen making it blurry - this works normally in the downloadable versions. Sorry for that! I think we could decrease the interaction time for each item to slightly increase the pace of the game. Thanks for your opinion!

That's a very nice entry, I liked the game but got stuck in a bug in  the fridge where the vegetables clumped together :c.


This was a very creative take!

Developer

Thanks for playing and sharing your opinion! Sorry for the fridge bug :(... It's fixed now.

Cute game! Would have been nice to be able to interact with doors a bit faster but its just a small nitpick. Good job :)

Submitted(+1)

I really like the interpretation of the theme! It's really creative. I adore the music too, ♡

Submitted

Really Fun Entry! Managed to finish all chores with 8 seconds to go lol. Music was really catchy game felt really fun with some challenge! awesome game =D

Developer

We are glad you liked it :). Thanks for the comment!

This is the greatest interpretation of the theme I've seen so far lol! Though I did get softlocked because I put an aubergine on a strawberry and couldn't separate them anymore

Developer

Sorry about that aubergine on strawberry thing (lol) - it has probably ruined your run... Thanks for acknowledging that!  We are glad that you liked the game - it means a lot to us!

Nice game, I did not read the whole itch.io page before I started playing so I had no idea what to do with the sanity.  But overall it's a nice game :) Great soundtrack as well!
