Check out the making of this game!!!
This game perfectly captures how I naturally fumble through my house, knocking over furniture and being a mindless klutz. Not to mention how I constantly lurk outside my roommate's window.
Hahaha a game for all tastes, is really satisfying when player find funny stuff you never planned on. Thanks a lot for playing the game, hope you liked it!
Game info:
Since we didn't explained every mechanic properly in the game ( and I don't know if I can edit the game´s description until the official rating end) I add a few tips in the comment section:
Thanks we really appreciated!!
this just crashes for me.
Sorry I was really hoping to see it in your videos, don't know what could had happened DX.
It just won't load and crashes? Is there like, a version for trash pcs or something?
Hmm I can send you a build with the lowest quality and no AA if you still want to play it, https://we.tl/t-GjFIAXnQdf thanks a lot for your time, if it keeps crashing don't worry, cheers!!
This was great. Between the flying furniture, my annoying roommate tickling me while I tried to fix his computer, the constant hopelessness of having to pee but that taking all my energy, and then the girlfriend coming in and making a ruckus -- I gave up halfway through and fell asleep in a closet, and I love that story, even if it was a, "bad ending." Good work.
Wasn't quite sure how to fill the blue bar at first, but was definitenly an intersting game once I figured that out! Good job!
Thanks for playing, yeah we needed to add a proper tutorial or instructions but we just couldn't fit the time o make one, maybe after the Jam we´ll upload a refined version with one, thanks for the feedback.
Good Game with great graphics sound and fun gameplay.. I actually wanted to keep playing but more games must be rated.
Thanks a lot, yeah we made it way to long, maybe next time well separate it into levels or stages to make it more accessible.
hahahaha the physics of this game is so funny! i love the concept too, very very nice!
Really glad you liked it!!
I think the game concept is nice, but the execution lacked a bit, mainly the balance was a bit off. The circuit broke a bit too often and most actions consumed a bit too much stamina/coffee didnt provide enough stamina to keep going. Also, the doors should be 2-way to prevent the player from getting blocked by a door
Thanks a lot for playing!! Yeah we ran out of time for play testing and balancing, the stamina was really punishing, and the game overall was to hard, after the Jam we´ll upload a refined version, also liked watching your video, cheers!
Was tough for the first few tries but managed to complete it!
At first for some reason I didn't realize the power outage also affected the coffee maker, haha. Probably because of the coffee still making noise. But I quickly realized how it works.
The girlfriend at one point didn't come even though the notification came to screen of her coming. I suspect it was because the path in which she initially comes was blocked by a lot of chairs and such :D.
Great concept, fun and visually pleasing, it's easy to see stuff.
Whoa you might be the first to get it thru congrats!! Yeah we thought of deactivating the coffee maker sound way to late and there's a few bugs we need to fix , and the game overall might be to difficult, or requires to much replay, after the jam well upload a refined version but we´re really glad you like it.
I'm really loving the art in this and of course destroying the place xD
Thanks for playing! Really glad you liked it!
This is impossible! I couldn't even start doing the project!
Somehow we manage to pay more attention to the theme that to the actual game´s balance XP, after the Jam we´ll update a balanced version, thanks a lot for playing!!
No problem :)
No wonder the girlfriend is angry when all you do is work and fix your roomies problems so you can work more .. :D
Hehe this girlfriends men they don't get the struggle XP. My girlfriend doesn't approve of this comment*
Careful now... :D
Seen a few teams go for this idea but your's in the best implemented I've seen. Definitely felt like I was managing resources and that I was having an impact, if somewhat slow impact due to the seven power surges :D
Thanks for playing!! Yeah it seem it was a common problem, we never thought of stopping the events from repeating, and also the game needed more balancing and playtesting, thanks for the feedback.
She literally saw me hide in the closet and just left in disgust. Just like real life.
Solid game and a great idea, not sure if its a bug or just didn't understand but the game ended twice before the red bar was even at 30%. Also girlfriend broke in while taking a pee and i levitated into the ceiling like a horror film. Once again she left in disgust.
Once again solid game hope you work on it further.
Hahaha yeah we were messing with de colliders and rigid bodies but the girlfriend just keep tossing us around, in the end we just left it as a "feature" XP. The game also ends if you round either out of time or out of stamina, could be the case or a bug, once the game jam ends well update a polished version, Thanks a lot for playing !!!
It's a cool take but felt stretched out in regards to how long it takes to complete the main goal vs the frequency of the interruptions - had the 'roommate's computer breaking' event about 4 times in a row with only a few seconds in between them and that made me give up on finishing the run. It's a funny concept though - cheers!
Thanks for playing!! Yeah it need a lot more balancing a play testing but we jus ran out of time, it should choose randomly each event but we didn't thought of limiting the same event from repeating, which could be part of the theme but it really makes the game extra difficult.

Absolutely hilarious. If you don't get a cookie or a gold star or something for absolutely nailing the theme, it will be a total shame! Great work! :-)
Thanks a lot for playing, really appreciated!
love how the game appears and the gf's voice is funny haha
good job!
Thanks a lot, really glad you liked it!!
