How does the game fit the theme?
When you think you are nothing, like the protagonist Nothing does, you can go wrong like Nothing by trying to be perfect in order to feel acceptable. But the truth is you already have inherent worth. You are enough, and you matter.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Music, sound effects, most of the backgrounds, and fonts

Really nice short motivational game! I like the combination of good narrative with a simple game mechanic. I would've liked to see more tasks open up as the weeks progressed, but overall great work! I also really like the ending.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Someone else said the same thing about the tasks. I was planning on coming up with more, but time was tight. I also ultimately decided against it because I thought it would make the game too difficult (due to the extra time taken to think about which task belongs where). The idea of more variety is a valid point though! 

Thanks for playing!

I'm so sorry! That's the final major bug I'm still trying to fix. Thank you for mentioning it, I wasn't fully sure whether other people were getting it too.

I hope you were at least able to complete the levels and see the ending 🙏 Thank you for checking it out!

Cool concept and story, I would have liked to see more different prompts for school, home and job, good job!

Really good narative

I'm glad you liked it! Were you actually able to reach the end? I was getting game-breaking bugs on my end (currently in the process of fixing them).

Yes I did, one improvement I would suggest is that on the portion where there are 3 things at once, when  you are nothing you can just click randomly and it will always be correct so it made it super easy, the first part was the most entertaining

Oof, took a look at it and that's also a bug >.< Thanks for telling me!
