If the user is frequenlty killing background process, this game will turn into a horror one lol
A very relevant topic to today's world. Letting the player control the phone gives a unique perspective on it
Super funny, very enjoyable. Says a lot about our society
Cool game ! Like the idea to figure out the interests of the owner to sell stuff to him. Overall UI is a bit confusing though

This game User Abused me because it kept me engaged for too long ;)
Felt like determining what kinds of Barks the user liked was a little confusing at first, and it seemed like once I filled the screen with them, any more I added would "fall off" the screen and I couldn't see them. Otherwise was fun juggling all the apps and each felt like their own unique micro game! This guy needs to get better at Xylotiles though.
Ah yeah, that's definitely a good point. Kind of makes it hard to track behavior if you can't really look at the past barks, but new feature idea: maybe your user can occasionally scroll to peep the old feed.
Thanks for playing! :)
This is what happens to me, I now understand XD
LOL FOR REAL. Honestly, when we were brainstorming for this game, I really had to take a serious look at my Instagram feed and think about how well my algorithm knows me... It was frightening haha
HAHAHAHA! I have become...The Algo! Very creative! Extremely engaging!
This is the first step to world domination B)
Thanks for playing !
At the beginning it isnt obvious what to do even after reading the instructions. Once I played through once i figured it out and the idea is really creative
Glad you were able to figure it out! Thank you for playing !
Very nice concept and well made, I struggled to understand how the shop works, but in the end managed to win.
Ah yeah, the shop is a little bit confusing. Your goal is to pick products the user likes and then button mash the $ button to make the price go down, and then when you "push to user", the items will appear on their screen. You wanna get the best prices for your user and they'll buy the items that fit their interests!
Congrats on keeping your user happy still without consumerism B)
Took me a little while to figure out what was going on but I think it looks great and it's different to anything else I've played so far
Ahaha, glad you got it though! Thank you for playing!
The controls are very intuitive and i really like the concept , very nicely designed thanks for such nice game!
Thank you for playing, and thanks for such a nice comment 🥺
Great idea ! Entertaining and well-designed for only few days of work, this could go far, well done ;)

Games like this one are why i love looking through game jam submissions, such a clever and wacky idea.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
really trippy !!
I loved the theme and art! Made my human angry by spamming barks :)
Thank you!!
Angering the human is the true best way to play B)
Neat idea and arts! I really enjoyed by playing this! But, maybe it would be better if you add some more music or apps, but yeah, only 48 hours. So, its so cool!
Thank you for playing!
For sure, we had an idea for
InstagramInstaounce too, but it indeed got sent to the scope chopping block :(Nice game! Intuitive UI and overall pretty entertaining! I enjoyed seeing my human happy at the end! :P Nice job for a 48h project!
Hahaha nice job keeping your user clicking B) Thank you for playing !
difficult
