Nice game! The sprite art is quite cute. The mechanics are also pretty fun, I like how eating food will restore your sleep meter, but won't restore your heart meter. It's like I really get to jeopardize my own personal health for the sake of the company! I also find it pretty funny that choosing "quit" just ends the game. (I guess I should've expected that) I do wish the game had some audio, but this is still pretty good.

So cute! Animations are smooth and fun to watch, interface is a bit hard to read (part because of the letter size, part because of the inversion effect on a progress bar, part because of the space between the pixels), but once I figured it out, it went good. Interesting concept, I’d definitely quit if I was the game’s hero. :D

I got fired :(

Cute game! The UI could be improved (like moving the task selection to the instructions and in it’s place, putting energy and work progress bars). Some music and SFX would really tie everything together too. But my favorite so far :D

Fun little game. I like how we are supposed to balance it all.

We had a bit of a similar idea of balancing work/sleep, but we did it each in a unique way.

Some sound effects/music would take this game to the next level

Good-looking game! This game reminds me of my parents, who always rely on coffee late at night, haha. Cool concept, pal!

Don’t forget to play my game and vote!

This is so cute and so relatable the poor little hamster :c How it just slams its head on the desk if its falling asleep is very funny. You got so much personality and charm out of so little pixels! I had a lot of fun.

It feels kinda tamagotchi-like which makes it even harder to send it to work, I want to feed and pet it. 

(It would have been cool to get some sort of ending, if one quits the game just stops right?)

Wonderful concept! I really liked how you used the optional theme as well, this is a great game for a limited color palette and size!
