This is a very good small game. It took around 3 hours to max out. I played it as a cosy game on the easiest difficulty. There is a little management, clicker, and minigame in it. There are goals and some upgrades.
All in all, it is a small but very good game; I enjoyed playing it. I think it's totally worth the money. So I recommend it.

Dev Life is now available on Steam! 🥳 This is my first game, and it has been a long and very meaningful development journey for me. I tried to create a game about starting from the bottom, learning programming, taking freelance projects, managing money, building a team, and slowly moving toward bigger goals.During development, I put a lot of effort into the details: different difficulty levels, projects, mini-games, upgrades, banking, housing, transport, achievements, and progression. I know the game may still have things that can be improved, but I truly tried my best to make it interesting and enjoyable.If you find a bug, notice something strange, or have ideas for improving the game, please leave your feedback in the comments. Your suggestions will help me understand what should be fixed, balanced, or added in future updates.Thank you for giving Dev Life a chance. I really hope you enjoy the game!
