I like that your app is 367.6KB. Have you looked at the resulting file to see what uses up the space? Perhaps it can be reduced further?
first paid app i've seen in a couple of years (makes sense, though!)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think its boredom. It's keeping racing and insisting thoughts, the uncomfortable things at bay, and this is worse than not allowing one to get bored. When you take everything from the brain, and sit silently, it starts to remember. Oh, the plants, the presentation I'm going to give, financials for the month, remaining tasks at the office, etc. Maybe some worse issues which bother you but you try to ignore. Es…
I agree that we definitely should not run away from uncomfortable thoughts and make time to deal with them mindfully. Tik! is honestly meant for times though when you wish you had something to do, almost like having an upgraded fidget toy. Using it in moderation should help, but of course if someone is using it to escape their life issues that is a separate issue.
Congrats on the release. :)

OP: 1. Use “you’re“, not “your”, for “you are”. It is wrong in the first “screen” image in your App Store listing. 2. Use an ellipsis — three dots, “…”, never two dots. This is in two images in your listing.
Thanks for the tip! I will fix that (I have the bad habit of using 2 dots all the time) and the "your" part will definitely take care of. Thank you!!
The app looks nice and the concept sounds interesting. But this worries me a little bit: "I also needed a distraction" - is it really a good idea to treat our brains this way? Why do we need distractions all the time? Why is boredom so intolerable? Also, you can simply just think about stuff, you don't have to feed your compulsion loop.
This game is basically a digital fidget—it doesn't actually prevent you from being there in the meeting, but it does provide the little bit of background simulation that some people legitimately need in order to stay sane working a desk job.
