College is the game.
Your energy is the coin.
Navigate campus, protect your energy, and turn arcade-sized challenges into a completed degree audit. Choose your major, survive the semester, and earn your extra life.
What is Insert Credits?
Insert Credits is a semester-long resource-management game set on a modern college campus. You play as a student juggling classes, jobs, friendships, and sleep while your energy bar acts as both health and currency.
Every week you choose how to spend your limited credits — study sessions, side gigs, social events, or rest — then face arcade-style challenges that turn exams, papers, and campus life into bite-sized skill checks. Survive the term, clear your degree audit, and earn your extra life.
A look inside Insert Credits
Three things make this a semester
Not a GPA tracker. A real resource-management game with arcade heart.
Your major is your build
Pick a major to define your starting stats, skill affinities, and course load. A Computer Science build solves logic challenges faster but burns energy in social events; an Arts major excels at creative projects while juggling tighter deadlines.
Energy is the real boss
Every action spends or restores energy: lectures, shifts, friends, and sleep all pull from the same bar. Run it empty and you will miss deadlines, tank your GPA, or fail the semester before finals arrive.
The degree audit is the win
Track required courses, prerequisites, and electives across multiple terms. Finish the audit with a passing GPA to unlock your extra life and prove you survived the semester.
How it plays
From orientation to graduation, one decision at a time.
Choose your major
Select a major that sets your starting energy, skills, and available courses for the term.
Plan your week
Allocate time slots to classes, work, rest, and social life without draining your energy bar.
Beat the challenges
Complete timed assignments, exams, and campus events as arcade-sized minigames that test your build.
Clear the audit
Satisfy degree requirements, keep your GPA above the cutoff, and earn your extra life.
