Hello, thank you for joining my stream! Here's a written review for you.
Your game is very creative. I really liked the beginning, it was kinda funny, chasing down the start button.
Color coded motivational quotes was a good idea, then changing the colors for the next day was a clever way to increase the difficulty. That means I have to actually read haha
The way you made the game really captures the struggle of phone addiction. I be doing that every day T-T
Sound effects were great, the option to give in to phone addiction was really interesting. Very cool game! Keep up the good work!!

I like this. The music is enjoyable, sorting folders is actually kinda relaxing. The game in the game is very interesting, I really like the way you used arrow combos to attack. I also really like that there's different music for each section.
I think if the boss catches you playing a game, the job meter should decrease. Once the fun meter is 0, the job meter shouldn't go up, so the player needs to go play the game.
Overall, awesome game! Good job!

You have a very interesting game. Managing resources for the people and figuring out what they need is really cool.
Some things I suggest changing is to put everything a bit closer to each other, I feel like there's just so much empty space, it's a bit weird. Also, you might be aware of this, but there's a cursor issue where I cant find my mouse, I need to tab out to get my mouse back.
Overall it's a cool game that can definitely be expanded on, and with some ominous music, it would be even better to increase tension.

You have a very cute game, music is really cute, the robot is adorable. Love it!
It was a bit hard controlling the grapple, because I keep mixing up which one is left or right mouse. But I still had fun!
Some problems I found is when swinging, it's kind of hard to grapple onto the temporary platform, because it's hard to aim while moving. Maybe if the screen didn't follow the robot, it'd be a little easier to aim.
Overall, very cool game! Good job!

Thanks for playing my game! I wholeheartedly agree with the points you've made on stream. The music looping broke on last day for no reason comprehensible at the time to my sleep-deprived mind and I was too afraid to touch the code near dedline out of fear of messing other things. During last week, I've been fixing issues and making some improvements to Core Contest, and I'll try to update the current release as soon as I can when the Jam ends.
Your game looks really cool. Good job on the character design.
I had a bit trouble at first, because there's too many enemies, I keep dying. So I just try my best to avoid them by jumping on the platform. Other than that, the combat is pretty decent.
Some things I would suggest is to reduce the amount of enemies, and maybe indicate the trial progress. The trials could be divided into stages, where I kill a number of enemies to move on. Another thing that would be nice is to add the title of your game to the menu screen.
Overall, very cool game!

You have a very cool platformer. I really like the art for the background. The platforms look good, they aren't in your face, but it's still clear that those are platforms. The music is also cool
There are times when I thought he would stick his landing, but sometimes he slides off the edge which annoyed me a bit. When hitting the wall, you bounce kinda far, maybe fall straight down would be nice. Or it's just skill issue on my part haha
Overall, it's a cool and challenging game!!
