Dream Ride is a slice-of-life survival sim built for The $20K Coolmath Game Jam 2026.

One dream. One bike. A mountain of adulting standing in the way.

You know that feeling when you really want something, but life just keeps... happening? That's this game. You're waking up every day, dragging yourself to work, dodging phone scammers (yes, those guys), scraping together enough cash to not get evicted, all while trying to protect that one little number in your savings that actually means something.

The bike. You want the bike. Don't lose sight of the bike.

It sounds manageable. Spoiler: it gets messy. Your Focus slips, your Vibe tanks, rent shows up before you're ready, and suddenly that dream feels a lot further away. But that's the whole thing, right? Keeping it together when life really doesn't care that you're trying.

Features:

  • The Dream: Save every penny, make every decision count, and earn that ride.
  • Stat Management: Balance your Savings, Focus, and Vibe, one bad day can spiral fast.
  • The Daily Grind: Commutes, work tasks, and random life events that love bad timing.
  • Phone Events: Scam calls, texts, rent reminders, adulting really said "no chill."
  • Clean UI: Minimal and distraction-free, because your brain has enough going on.

How to Play: Point-and-click, read the situation, make your call. Simple controls, not-so-simple choices.
