Bought this because I used to play it when I was a kid…
Loving the fact it shows you what you’ll become but the addition of stamina is a TERRIBLE design decision for this game. I wish there was no stamina meter like before the update.
It’s fun and time consuming
Great game no glitches for me on the iPhone 11 worth the dollar add lot more content and helps the developer

I remember someone on YouTube did a Let’s Play of the original version of this game several years ago. Compared to that version this is a great improvement, achievement system and all. Many years later, when I got my first iPhone, I realized just what arcade I wanted to have for myself, which included Minecraft, some Namco titles, Jetpack Joyride, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and this. Of the crown collection I wanted to make for myself this would be the shining jewel. I bought the full version on my 16th birthday, regardless of the price. I knew exactly why, I wanted a game that could make me think every now and then, which is funny given how simplistic it really is. But at the same time doing a couple of playthroughs and making progress for 100% completion made me think about what it means to be a worker, to strive for the career you want to desire the most. Every possible stage of your life here is portrayed as human as everything else. It really did prove to me that everyone’s unique but at the same time identical to each other. We’re all human, we just have different sets to living, that’s all. What really sold me here is not (just) all those well-placed pop-cultural references that couldn’t fit better, but the snarky, sarcastic descriptions to those stages of a life or career. It’s like God Himself is judging you because he’s seen it all. Strangely, that last detail helps me convince myself more that I’m not alone. That there’s some wealthy businessman or kid’s show host out there with a sense or view of life as darkly humorous and perverted as mine. I really loved the Combos section, hands down the best part of the Redux. “Oprah Winfrey” contains one of the greatest insults to hypocrisy I’ve ever read, I’m not gonna lie. All these names from Amelia Earhart to Fred Flintstone brings off a sort of incredibly universal appeal to this compressed title with a retraux aesthetic and modern sitcom-type comedy. It’s one of the most unique games I’ve ever played, and the indie smell behind its development makes this seem like such an underrated classic never given the “Editor’s Choice” or something. The only real grudge I have with this game is the lack of “saving a life”. You know how after you’ve finished a run and you’re looking through the many stages of yourself, you’re forced to start over again and it becomes hard to memorize what’s your favorite life of them all? There should be a “save” feature for that. To “save” the lives you’ve lived and look through them like a Polaroid picture gallery. Some of these lives also included the achievements you’ve just committed, so to save as much as you wish would make the game as flawless as it can be right now. I know that this hasn’t received a software update in 3+ years (writing from February 5, 2021), but if the creator of this game could at least read this and maybe add that feature, I’d be more grateful than ever to see it. One time when I still had the game (note I said HAD), it was unavailable from the App Store, which I felt was permanent, as if the creator got tired of this game and wanted to move on. I was very shocked to see it had come back, and overjoyed because this game, this concept, means so much to me. I want to spread the message on this game, because it simply is unlike anything else of a mobile game I have played or seen. Sure there’s several other with gameplay concepts just as simplistic and similar, but 30-Second Life does not only seem to know what the concept of relevance is all about, but it covers itself in a boldass paint job while doing it. There is nothing else left I have to say regarding this video game besides how enjoyable it really is. I don’t do reviews but this is probably the most personal title in my collection. I’ve loved video games since I was 4 or 5, and enjoyed the mobile market ever since I was 7 or 8. This is an obscure peak of the mobile format, in a sea of treasures. And no game so far has made me happier than when I play this. - Carlinal
