I am emotionally unabanced also IRL. And this is a test more than a game. Fun 2 / 5 (and I am totally tolerant). Just doodle pictures and test-like "graphics". Art + Graphics 2 / 5. But the dea is orginal although it is missing real gamification. Originality 4 / 5. But it is inded thematic. Theme 5 / 5.

Feel free to try, rate and comment what I uploaded - a physical (!) game made by my life Partner.

I really love the graphics, the people have so much character! I like how this game pulls on you're emotions so that sometimes I don't want to select the best answer. I never want to disappoint the daughter but I have to to keep the emotions stable! Really nice game.

I really liked this take on the theme! I've played Reigns before, so it was fun playing a different take on it with everyday life. The UI and art is really clean and well done too. It would be cool to add some more context after each selection on how you feel, to have a better idea of why the emotions go up or down.

clean presentation and cool idea! it was a little unintuitive since i didn't realize i need to stop myself from getting too joyous, but it was fun! I liked the addition of the colored circles to tell you which emotions will be affected. good job!
