A while back I shared my small indie game Couch x Crawler here and the response honestly meant a lot to me:

Since then I’ve continued updating the game and just released the Android version.

The core idea is still the same: what if your RPG hero kept adventuring even when you were busy?

You send your hero out on expeditions, put your phone down, go live your life, and come back later to see how your choices played out. It is designed for people who like RPG progression but do not always want another grind.

Recent updates include:
Mini games now earn XP
Mini games can be played during expeditions
New badges and progression systems
Secret encounters and hidden surprises
Ongoing UI and quality-of-life improvements

It is a one-time purchase with:
No ads
No subscriptions
No microtransactions

Android:

Thanks again to everyone here who gave feedback, encouragement, or even just checked it out the first time around. It genuinely helped shape the direction of the game.

I built this because I was feeling really burnt out from work.

A lot of days I would finish and feel like I did nothing, even if I actually did small things. My brain would just ignore them.

So I made something really simple.

That Counts lets you write down one thing that mattered each day. That’s it.

No habit tracking
No AI
No accounts
No tracking

Everything stays on your device.

Over time it becomes a small record that your days actually counted.

I’ve got Android coming soon and just submitted an update where you can attach a photo to each entry.

Would appreciate any feedback.

This started from burnout more than anything.

Work was draining me to the point where after I finished, I would just sit around and do nothing. Then I would feel like I wasted the whole day.

That feeling stacked up over time.

I didn’t want another productivity app or habit tracker. Those just made it worse for me.

So I built something intentionally small.

You open it and write one thing that counted today.

That’s it.

It helped me realize that even on bad days, something usually still mattered.

I turned it into an app called That Counts.

No AI, no tracking, no accounts. Everything stays on your device.

Android version is coming soon, and I just submitted an update that lets you attach a photo to each entry.

Still figuring out how to describe it since it’s not really productivity and not really journaling.

Thinking about doing a few other characters like this.
