What a neat game idea! It really fits the theme super well :) Unfortunately the font was quite hard to read for me, so I didn't get very far... I do like the pixel aesthetic here, it's quite charming, but for a game that requires reading to understand it's mechanic, a more readable font might be better suited :)

Thanks for the feedback! That's a valid criticism. I've never really looked into using alternative fonts in PICO-8, I think it's possible, but I have no idea how... It would be a good idea to look into it, as I guess I am now working on two text heavy games.

A Pico8 game! No jam is complete without one!

I definitly enjoyed playing this after figuring out how it worked, It takes the theme quite literal, which I like and the scenario works really well for it.
The one nitpick I have is that - at least at the speed that I made decisions and execute them - 30 days feel like quite a long time period to reach. I think I paused after hitting day 13 or so  after half an hour^^
Might continue to see the end though =)

Thanks for the feedback!

I was a bit worried that maybe 30 days is too long of a grind. I had planned to put in some random events at the end of each day, but ran out of time for that, that might help - especially if they tell a bit of a story. I think what I have is not intrinsically fun enough - it needs some form external motivation for the player to keep going.

definitely an unique game! I love pico 8 and your usage of it. Also amazing that you could produce all of this as a single dev. Congratz on the submission

Thanks for playing it - glad you liked it!

You are right, it is a bit challenging to understand - I should definitely have saved some time for adding a tutorial.
