How does the game fit the theme?
Playing videogames during work hours sounds risky but nothing can go wrong if you're careful, right? RIGHT?!

Very fun idea! But the mouse sensitivity makes it a bit uncomfortable to play. uou should have created a deadzone for mouse, so if my mouse exits deadzone - mouse in game doesn't move. Otherwise it moves with my mouse position.
Thanks for feedback, there actually is a deadzone, it's just bigger than it has to be beacuse we hoped to fill that space with other interactive objects but haven't managed to do it in time limit.
Still you managed to create very good mechanic.
So fun to play, you nailed this feeling of guilty anguish some of us know too well :')
The controls are reponsive and satisfying, the graphics and sound design are neat, well done ! :)
Glad you enjoyed it, even more so that you found the experience relatable, thanks for your feedback!
Thanks to this little game i will never see footsteps the same way ever again... But honestly great work as it really feels like trying to make a stressful work day less stressful but ultimately making it even more stressful due to this.
Stressful seems to be the core word of your experience, hope there was some fun there too, thanks for playing!
Yes it was very fun just like a rollercoaster can be stressful but fun at the same time i think it works well in this setting at least.
Glad to hear that!
Very good concept! I wasn't sure what to do at first. Maybe a tutorial would help! The can life system was really unique though!
Glad you enjoyed the cans!
The concept is very good, but in the start it was difficult to understand the button system. But superbly executed.
Good work!!🙌🙌
Thanks for feedback, we will try to update the game with some sort of tutorial intro!
Truly a unique game! I like how random the game is! XD
It'd awesome if the game has variety of tasks to do, like implementing some kind of typing game into it. Maybe you could do it in the future development, it has a lot of potential!
Love the concept! Keep it up! :D
Sounds like a nice idea for more content, but I am not sure if it won't be too much to manage, thanks for feedback!
for some reason when i loaded into the game i could only see the centre part of the screen, so i couldn't see most of the monitor or the the buttons i was trying to press, i did really like the concept and the very silly controls though :)
If your monitor has resolution higher than 1920x1080 than setting it to 1920x1080 might fix the issue, glad you liked silliness tho!
We like how u used the theme, it was a little difficult to understand how to play and what to do. It would be funny and easier using keyboard instead, for typing some letters and also playing snake, but i know it was part of the design.
Good game, thanks for your reply.
Thank you for your feedback! As you said, wacky controls are part of the design here!
HA! Brilliant. Very cool idea. Took me a minute to understand how to trick my absolute tyrant of a boss that I was being a good little capitalist. But once I'd mastered that, it was snake time!
Glad you had fun and got appreciated for being such a good employee!
Nice and funny game!
Glad to hear that!
I like that this game is relatable to a lot of people. The visuals and the overall feeling of the game are nice, great job!
Glad you had fun, wacky controls were supposed to truly embody dread of alt-tabbing before anyone sees any slacking haha
I really enjoyed this one. I liked the theme and how its pretty much goofing off at work without getting caught which is a challenge of itself. Great job, fun game. Not gonna front, I got nervous a couple of times playing because I didn't want to get caught, lol.
Glad you had fun!
Slacking of at work, surely nothing can go wrong with that! A simple game about playing snake while your boss micro-manage you every few seconds, the control is a little odd at first, but after I get the hang of it, I appreciate the challenge the unique control-scheme brings.
I love the visual and the general atmosphere in the game, it really feels like you're working at a dead-end job, in a shitty office, with shittier boss.
Overall amazing job on this!
Sounds like you really got the vibe we were going for! Glad you enjoyed the wacky controls. Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you, the atmosphere of working in Januszex (polish name for dead end job with shitty boss) is what we were trying to achieve here
The game is really simple but surprisingly really fun and silly, and always a little tense. And creating a game within a game is always a really cool feat. Good job!
Thanks for your feedback! We tried getting the right balance of tense horror-like elements and silly wackiness of physics based controls.
Really good idea and presentation! It took me a while to understand everything but after that it was very enjoyable.
Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed the visuals of the game + the gameplay itself, good job!
Happy to hear that you enjoyed our game!
I really love that style of art in games ! Fun gameplay, thanks !
Glad you had fun!
Thanks for your appreciation!
Hello, I tried your game! At first, I had trouble understanding the controls, but as I played, I got the hang of it. The concept was quite fun! Personally, I would have liked the option to click with the mouse, though I get that the current setup adds an extra challenge. By the way, if you're interested, feel free to check out my game too!
Glad you found it fun! Clicking with the mouse would surely be simpler but
we found physics based buttons more fun due to their wackiness.
Thanks for feedback, will make sure to check out your game!
my boss is never going to be happy with me :(
cool game can you see mine? /jam/brackeys-13/rate/3348291
She is hard to please, don't let it discourage you!
