could have an option not to dip into investments and instead just pause the game if you would, or straight up lock the investments away entirely.

"Hey, manager, why is our CEO working as a lab cleaner?"
"I don't know. I try not to ask too many questions around here. But... I did hear something about 'gaining familiarity so [he] can do it faster next time.'"
"Gaining familiarity? He must be wanting to improve working conditions for us! What a thoughtful CEO!"

the whole:
"Groundhog Life
Title: Groundhog Life - A Simulation Game to Live a Virtual Life"
underneath the comments section is pretty much a completely different game about groundhogs not a reference to the movie groundhog day.

Game gliched and after turning 60 where the game is supposed to slow down... but it sped up. I was 360 years old, suddenly a multi-trillionaire and not even the CEO of a burger company

Finally got all the achivements. All the start over and loop trap device took some time. But the last one was get a tillion dollars. I could get about 350 billion by the time the other achivements where done. The last 750 Billion seemd hard, but then I forgot the tab open for a few days, and when I looked I was 316 years old and had 362 S dollars (however much that is). Seems there is no limit to age, its just very slow after you are supposed to die :)
Well, nice to have an idle game that you can actually fully beat without sinking your hole lifes time into it.

What an original concept executed flawlessly. Never thought seeing the ingame version of myself improving little by little, making its way slowly up the corporate ladder would be so satisfying. Almost made me forget about my miserable life. The minimalist UI works really well here, both for clarity and for stimulating the player's imagination.
Right now getting the Groundhog King achievement can be considered completing the game. I have been checking this game every year since 2018 for an update, but we'll probably never get a true ending, which is such a shame. I honestly believe Groundhog Life has the potential to even rival NGU Idle, had the developer been more active.
As of right now, game is a solid 8/10. If you like NGU Idle, go play Groundhog Life, you wouldn't regret it.

I think progressing at Dark Plateau is very hard because of the high level requirements. A small tip: Work at BunMasters, because the pay is more than enough and the programming research is just time-consuming. Now, I don't know what actually happens when you're CEO, but I think you could extend the duration until the aliens come. I hope I could help somebody with this :D

Just activated the loop trap, and I don't think anything sped up (I also don't know how to view that multiplier). Did I do something wrong?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
How do you calculate the multiplier for job level-ups? i think its log(lvl) or something... btw, i worked at BunMasters for 42 years and am still alive... :D

the dev needs to add a auto reasearch function that makes all of them equal im so sick of having to change the numbers on all of them every time i reach a intervle of 25

the real issue is health as im at 0.03
im guessing to get around that i can try dumping a huge amount of normal lifetime to meditation as it seems like the only counter to this

lol i decided to just brute force my idling into old age and guess what? im now 152 years old after 2 days of afk
i suppose if you are stubborn enough you could achieve anything in this game
its also worth noting that fast forwarding after 60 years old instead lets you keep the pace of normal time

all good on a related note does anything special happen if you get all the sin achievements in the same life? im planning to do that to find out

I can not say for certain, but I believe at some point it becomes some sort of mathematical theory where you will always just divide by half without ever reaching 0. As for groundhogs, I think that is strictly the number of times you reset. The closest thing to adding more years is using the laser to fight back, and even then it's just a few years. I can get around an extra decade at laser level 1400.

also is anti slack time a thing? can i reduce my slackness so much that it causes me to break the time bank and start siphoning the slack time of others and turning it into more usable time for myself? can i reach the fabled 25th hour!?!

i wanna find a way to detonate a time loop device so that i can extend my groundhog into more years for more time to do and see cool stuff

@Genseitei I agree with the night mode, but do you mean the lack of offline progress? That is done in something like stored double-time (forgot what they called it). This way you can use the offline time, since in a game like this "you advanced x years" would really just result in skipping a life or two.

If you think about it... the aliens are probably the good guys. Us humans are already destroying the planet, and building a massive laser all over the earth to shoot down aliens in space before they arrive from earth has got to be hurting the atmosphere. And even if you built the laser on space stations or satellites the resources it would take just getting the materials, if not the whole laser itself to the location would be outrageous.
Going to face palm if that turns out to be the ending.

Managed to get to wave 23 with a laser gun level of 2302. But i'm not even close to beating it. I'll probobly need to get around 2350-2360 to do so. Great game. But could of done with a secondary prestige. Perhaps reducing skill exp needed from level*2^(level/100) to say level*2^(level/(100+x)) just so there is actually a way to fight off the diminishing returns.

I'm more curious why it takes two years to restock it. After several lifetimes you'd think your character would learn to keep that stuff on hand.

@Doom, I'm not a mathematician or anything, but from what I understand there is a term in math where if you constantly cut something in half it will never truly reach zero. I'm guessing it's like that.
