thx btw i thing mine has a glitch i only see rocks when i pick stuff from the corners and they glitch on the same space help.... i rlly want to play .plz . someone tell me if it is a glitch
1. Mike was the MCs friend. I think the world ended and all the land of the earth broke off a lot and floated away and now its just the MC.
2. He probably got killed by MC because the MC was losing his sanity and Mike was annoying to him and they were fighting maybe?
3. Prob on the island with MC
4. The MC went crzy cause its just life in a island. The same thing. Nothing new. I think MC created the to do list so he could FEEL like he was doing something but then he succumbed to insanity.
5. No that was MC going CRAZY, remember MC doesnt have any way to measure time expect for counting days..and he as going insane..
6. Flesh bulbs it seems, from the thornus thing
7. I dont think so
8. A mutated caterpillar I think
9. It was mutated it might be due to the MC mowing the lawn and the mower had some toxic stuff in it? or the dirt
Red things were probably human remains growing. maybe the MC went insane because he was alone for so long that his mind went ape-sh1t nd went insane. Mike probably died of illness and the MC didn't want to keep his dead body around so he buried it. same goes with others, after he does say the nearest hospital isn't close so who knows what happened. blue caterpillar seems to be an alien. probably got there looking for something. idk bout the floating space thing. numbers probably went backwards just for effect or the feeling or restarting the same thing over and over. most is theory besides the blue thing.
I think either my boy got sent to the prison realm or he's just straight up extremely kookoo and the void + floating island is a hallucination. If the latter is true, the caterpillars (blue things) might actually bepeoplethat came to check up on the MC (possibly police), and the flesh crops (red things) might be the remains of his victims.
hey I'm not sure if it's just me, but whenever I play this game it feels like I'm missing some dialogue? For example when the uh. "Fun Thing" appears in the yard, it should have some more dialogue, but I only get one box of text. Thomas doesn't talk to me either. :( I know there should be more, because I've seen youtube videos of this game, but I can't get all of the dialogue for some reason. It's like it skips, but I don't know how to get it NOT to skip. I've used every variation of the controls so I don't know what to do.
Is this a glitch or are other people experiencing this too? I know it's been two years or so and might not be worth updating, but I really like this game and I wish I could have the same experience as others.
Yes, most likely something has changed globally in browsers.
Unfortunately at the moment there is no possibility of rebuild the game (the latest version of Game Maker for some reason is not friendly with browsers). The only way out is to play the Windows version for now.
This to do list is... normal until stuff start happening. IT may seems like normal person living on a normal floating island, but things quickly turn south when his face changes... I need closures man... what is he? What is he... growing?!
made an account just for this hi, this is my favorite game ever. i am not kidding. i am not joking. sometimes i think about this game and get super happy!! i play it a lot, and im working on trying to do a speedrun. i have so many thoughts and theories and it's just such a fascinating little story!! i love mike and the MC, i love how we can only wonder, i love how simple yet chilling it is. the idea of the island, the tasks, seeing the gradual detoriation of the MC, and whatever the ending was... woah!! i wish more people knew about this game, because it's honestly just such a fun wonderful experience!! it feels sort of like earthbound, in the fun, funny, but ultimately chilling story, the amazing 8bit music, and the expert use of cosmic horror. honestly, i think my life was better because i found this little game!! i can't count the amount of times i told someone i love everything about it (infodumping!!) and they listened and talked about it too!! the island itself is wonderful, feeling peaceful yet desolate, and hints of story and the MC's past are just sprinkled in perfectly. thank you for making this game!!
Really enjoyed this game, although I found myself running around in circles trying to solve the puzzles... but that was more user error than anything else. I liked how the game progressed and how things subtlety changed throughout the fruition of the gameplay. Great use of audio and a great twist to a game... I really recommend it!
To Do List is a small-scale experimental game, you are a nameless man doing chores from a single white sheet of paper.
There isn't much to describe the gameplay you are doing chores, from day-to-day the program becomes different. Thankfully, the chores continue diversified per day, no queries concerning repetition. Now, it isn't problem-free: You can still move with the tasks opened, and there are some punctuation errors. The visuals are sharp and well-done. Don't be fool by the cute pixels on display there is a sinister side. The environment is almost empty; a house, a shed, a garden and compost and near infinity emptiness of the cosmos.
The music is excellent, beautifully rhythmic of chiptunes and synthwaves and unbelievably catchy. Cleverly cheerful to hide the loneliness of the character's predicament.
To the boys and girls, yes, it is a Cosmic Horror. The whole goal (in my opinion) is: We are living mundane lives, cogs in a mechanical way of living, the to-do list is the anchor keeping our sanity from going critical furthermore, taking our control of our being away from us, stuck in a perpetual loop of tasks and facilities. To Do List as an innovative Cosmic Horror formula of simplicity, while maintaining a self-contained environment and a fine example of the genre's ability to adopted the ordinary, dull objectives of a seamlessly harmless of "keeping busy."

is that a one piece hat reference or am i crazy
it is a straw hat.
Here's my theory about the character. He killed his friend, buried his corpse, and somehow grew meat with his remains to eat, because he's a cannibal.
I can't figure out how to mow the grass :(
i figured it out :)
1. Get the red thing and go to the green bucket with water and then go to the plants after that pick up everything and it will stack up then throw it on the trash bin and get the hammer and everything else go to the roof and press 1 on the black spots and after that go to sleep then make dinner get the apples and carrots cut them with the knife and then put it on the bowl and sit on the red chair then get the red or black key idr remember next to the table aside from the bed and go to the shed with a chain lock go inside and get the gasoline looking thing and go around the grey spots on the grass after that get the thingy with a paint brush and a canvas and bucket then go to the stool outside the next day go inside the shed again get the radio looking thing then go to the hammer next to the door and click on the radio to workout get the ball black and white do whatever you want until you run it out of the sky block idk what else to do with the weeds so sorry did that even make sence ;-;

3. Go inside the shed get the fishig rod next to the shovel then get the knife and the guitar and cut the fishing rod and put the string on the guitar the next day read all of the books get the knife and go to the weird blue thing that looks like a distorted fish and cut it then go to the trash bin and press space then press the red thing that's not the paint and put it on the plants go on top of the roof and walk on it even if you get a diologue keep doing it until it dosen't change colors anymore then go to sleep and THEN go outside get the axe and go to the distorted fish until it turns back to normal then get the knife and go to the scarecrow then go to the shed and get the shovel and dig up the brown "thing "on the grass then sleep and then go outside and get the red stuff and END OF THE GAME oK WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK WAS THAT

use knife on the beetle and get something, find something from the trash, and mix them together
wait what beetle-
emm maybe it's a caterpillar
i can't take out the trash :/ UNLESS i AM the trash
there's trash all around, find things that aren't grass in the grass and press space :)
thx
no problem! after that go to the thing by the tree and put it there!
pick up the trash with space and then go by the dumpster behind the house and press 1 or 2 wherever your trash is.
thx btw i thing mine has a glitch i only see rocks when i pick stuff from the corners and they glitch on the same space help.... i rlly want to play .plz . someone tell me if it is a glitch
how do you make dinner all I can figure out is how to cut the apple.
go to the garden and press space, then cut the carrot
oh, also, get the bowl (next to the knife) and then put the apple and carrot in there
Thank you!
i forgot to add, you have to combine the apple and carrot first! also no problem!

Ok um I have a theory
1. Mike was the MCs friend. I think the world ended and all the land of the earth broke off a lot and floated away and now its just the MC.
2. He probably got killed by MC because the MC was losing his sanity and Mike was annoying to him and they were fighting maybe?

5. No that was MC going CRAZY, remember MC doesnt have any way to measure time expect for counting days..and he as going insane..
6. Flesh bulbs it seems, from the thornus thing
7. I dont think so
8. A mutated caterpillar I think
9. It was mutated it might be due to the MC mowing the lawn and the mower had some toxic stuff in it? or the dirt
10. The rest of the land broke off from earth
Thank you for wasting your time to answer to these questions-
It was pretty useful, so um...have a great day :D
Red things were probably human remains growing. maybe the MC went insane because he was alone for so long that his mind went ape-sh1t nd went insane.

Thank you :D
I guess your theories kinda make sense, thank you for wasting your time to answer to this old post-
np, i had nothing better to-do [no pun intended]
:}

oh wait some guy made a better theory

I see, I'll just stick with downloading the windows version. It does work better that way. Thank you for replying, and happy holidays!
Cool game!
U WANNA PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
BOUT TO PLAY
I loved this game! Personally i liked the story and the little tasks you had to do.
wow super love this, neat concept and not toooo difficult. really love this
Interesting
And my mom wonder's why I never do my chores...this is what happens!
I played this with my sister, and it was so amazing! The building suspense made it even better! Wish there was a sequel!
So fun! I love the concept and how it's executed! A well-spent 10 minutes.
Fantastic game. I'm absolutely speechless. Create a longer version and I'm gonna buy it!
great game 10/10
Well.. that went from 0 to 60 fast. Great game! Very disturbing in all the right ways, and I loved the art.
Great music, nice work!
This to do list is... normal until stuff start happening. IT may seems like normal person living on a normal floating island, but things quickly turn south when his face changes... I need closures man... what is he? What is he... growing?!
i genuinely love this game so much. i found it when i was in a weird place mentally and it helped me a lot, so thank you!!
Ok, ok, i know this one's old, but I liked it and now I can share it :D
made an account just for this
