This is our attempt at an apartment-neighbours survival game.
Every person in each apartment has different interests, and some of them may interfere with others. Try to keep everyone in the neighborhood healthy... while you can.
We initially planned lots of interactions and features but had to leave some stuff out because of the lack of time.
Controls: Point and Click
Tools used:
A JavaScript lib we are making (the jam was great for testing :) ): https://github.com/psychonull/pac
Art: A mix of photoshop, gimp and piskel
Sound: LMMS, except crying baby from http://www.soundjay.com/baby-crying-sound-effect.html
Stay neigh-boring!

Fun like a doll house, lasted only 89 seconds before the sims bailed on me.
I like the idea of trying to have to balance everything. Very satisfying and tense to keep everybody happy for long periods of time
Haha, I died laughing when I saw Mind: Insane, Body: Wrecked. Can't believe you made this in a weekend, very well done.
Man, I cannot keep these people happy. Interesting concept though, and great job with the pixel art.
Good concept, became quite stressful to manage them all. Fits the theme really nicely. I like the cross-section view and the graphics are really nice
We learn a good life lesson in this game, keeping people happy is hard :P
Wow this game is hard! It's an interesting concept, and I think it's worth exploring further. Good job!
Darn that cursed crying baby to heck!! This is a good start. Are you planning to do a post-compo version?
Really cool idea. It's almost more fun to see everything fall apart but that just might be me lol. Nice work.
Interesting concept, but I couldn't really work out what raised the stats - seemed like everything went down no matter what. I loved the sounds and the graphics are pretty good too.
Super cool. I want to play this in a bigger, expanded form. Please keep developing it!
Great!That was funny, the family know they're disaster as parents and i like sound sample when everyone gets crazy. The animation quite reminds me some old lucas art in a way... Good! but if this stupid baby would die in a way it would be better
Can win this game?
Good idea, nice use of the theme.
Pretty hard, easy to play ^^
Good work!
Huh, not sure what to think. I like time management games but this one doesn't really grab me for some reason. Maybe because there are no meaningful event chains you can set up? Nice entry tho :)
I love the idea, need some more interactions though. I hope you guys keep working on it post-compo! Graphics and animations are excellent, and great take on the theme.
The concept is REALLY cool (do you know georges perec's book Life a users manual?). Need more works (animations, more possibilities, maybe levels (more and more appartment...)) and this will be a good point and click!
Does the man in the middle want to become a pirat? He remind me someone...
I like it a lot...!!
It's really hard :p ...
But it just some speed adjustements, otherwise it is really good !
Great work :) !
I like viewing angle in this game)
But I don't understand what is the main meaning(((
Apartment-neighbours survival game, haha, great idea, very well executed. Its really hard to keep everyone happy, just like in RL ^^.
I confess I found this completely baffling (I managed 248s) but I absolutely loved the Lucasarts style art and how different and unusual this is :)
One of the best uses of themes I've seen so far. Cool retro graphics. I really liked figuring everything out.
Great idea. Really love the graphics. Very amusing. Could see lots of ways this could be taken further.
This game really stressed me! Which is a good thing, I kinda godt caught up in it :P - The idea is really fun, and I loved the old lady! Good job!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Super fun! I like that everything depends on each other. Fun! -Kintinue
