I think this is an interesting concept of mixing a quiz game with needs system. It’s a shame that only two first option buttons are clickable (this makes some questions “un-answerable”). This is a good base for improving and finishing a project.

This was fun! The timed question-answer mechanic works well, it gives the them an “educational game” vibe, I’m sure it would keep smaller kids occupied for a while (it worked for me, and I’m 37 :D).

The little guy is super cute, kudos to the artist!

It´s a very cute game. The animations of the little guy are well drawn and lovely made, he is adorable :3 I couldn´t fully enjoy the animations though because i was a little bit stressed with answering the questions XD but I like the multitasking concept (sorry for posting on the wrong game page ^^°)

The idea is interesting, it’s not my cup of tea but I liked it. The art style is lovely, i haven’t understand how the various bar works because if i answer on a playing activity other “stats” grows and viceversa. Overall, good entry! :D

This is a very interesting game ! It has something familiar, like Dr Kawashima brain training (yes I'm old). I actually really enjoyed it. The game also game together nicely, I love the animations ! Would be cool to see what more you can do with some extra time. Really cool, well done :D

He's just a little guy!!!

The highlight here for me was definitely the little guy art <3 Super cute.
I wasn't expecting them to grow after each level so that was a fantastic surprise.

Very interesting interpretation on the theme, nice! With that said I would have loved to have the little guy be more involved somehow, even if just making it so the the right/wrong answer sounds was actually the little guy reacting.

I naturally expected the resource bars to update far more frequently so I kept switching between them only to realise that was actually hurting me quite a bit. Once I figured that out gameplay felt a lot smoother.

Great entry. Well done!

I like the concept you went for and the animations are super cute to go along a nice brain exercise.

However I feel like the bars decreasing by changing activity are too punishing for a cozier experience but that might just be a me thing.

Nice work overall!

The graphics and animation on the little guy are super adorable! I think though it would be nice to update UI after the jam as it doesn’t really go with the image, but obviously we had limited time so that’s understandable.

Sounds and music are cute too, and the take on the theme is original but makes the theme still very recognizable.

The gameplay is daunting especially in the beginning, there is a lot to juggle and it’s easy to start panicking and feel overwhelmed. It’s an interesting concept but for me personally it was too hard >_<
