Your friend asked you to house-sit for “an hour or two”… but it’s been a while, and they’re still nowhere to be seen. Looks like you're in charge for a bit longer than expected.

Now you have a choice:
Will you be the perfect house guest, keeping things tidy, watering the plants, and aiming for the highest score possible?
Or will you turn the place upside down in glorious revenge and see just how low your score can go?

You’ve got 24 in-game hours (12 minutes of real time) to decide.
Clean or chaos, it’s all up to you. Enjoy!


*** Currently In the middle of Updating Systems Post Game Jam*****

  • The Pick up system has been updated - no longer will pick up items your not meant to pick up
  • Have add the Plates, and Fridge
  • Have made plant pots and plats breakable

Actively working on:

Dog, and Bacon (hence forth why fridge needed to be added first, to store bacon)

Correction to hit detection of pot plant shards to prevent being launched in to the stratosphere from walking on broken ceramics.

Hey

I couldn't quite understand what to do in the game so i followed the instruction and destroyed the house. At some point I left the bed on the roof but couldn't join it there :)

Could be nice to have a throwing system and things like windows you can break.

Also you were talking about score but I couldn't see them so I have no idea how well I performed.

Waiting for the dog update !

The score shows up at the end of 12 minutes (which makes up 24 in game hours)

At the moment i have it work out the score at the end, but I might have some of the score elements visible whilst playing in the future.

Im pretty excited to add the dog and the fish tank in, I think they will make it alot more engaging.

Just managed to get this submitted in time for GMTK Jam!

Keep Me in the Loop is a short game where you're left to house-sit for a friend… who didn’t exactly keep you in the loop.
You can either keep the place tidy and score high or trash it completely and see how low you can go.
The game runs for 12 minutes (which represents 24 in-game hours).

I’m planning to expand it post-jam with:

  • A fish to take care of 🐟

  • A dog to look after 🐶

  • And maybe even some sneaky neighbours stealing garden flowers 🌼

For now, it's a jam build with the basics, hope you enjoy it!
