About

Pawmodoro is a gamified study timer experience utilizing the Pomodoro technique!

Description and Purpose

In Pawmodoro, the player has a loyal, energetic pet. During study sessions, their pet will play, and during breaks, they come back with rewards! The player can use these rewards and resources to obtain items, allowing them to obtain more items, decorations, and upgrade their pet's energy.

Pawmodoro is built to gamify the Pomodoro Technique, creating a satisfying balance of productivity and entertainment. Users have one more thing to look forward to during their breaks, and allows them to romanticize the work they do!

Inspiration

Pawmodoro was inspired by the desire to have a more entertaining studying/working experience. Finding joy and aesthetic pleasure in work results in increased productivity, and a more fulfilling experience. By gamifying productivity, players will look forward to the ways Pawmodoro rewards them for working hard (and taking breaks)!
