How does your game fit the theme?
As three unemployed engineers, we fully know the feeling of waking up in the morning and having no agenda, no stand ups, no obligations, and no income. And with the job market the way it is now, it might seem like there all hope is gone. Having survived the DotCom Bust (one of us) or the Financial Crisis (two of us), Funemployed was forged in that spirit of perseverance and rebuilding to bring a bit of humor to a unfavorable situation. Whether you are a fresh college graduate or a grizzled veteran looking for the one last rodeo, gulp down that cup of joe and get out there. We can make it. We can find a way. We will be ok, as long as we Just Get Started.

There are quite some minigames in this game , music gives a good vibe to the overall experience. I was kinda expecting some story , but oh well , with minigames it didnt really matter
Thanks! Yeah we ran out of time for adding more of the story elements, so we just doubled down on the gameplay
We'd love to add more in an update
Can i get a rate , i kinda want that double 0
Already did! /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3734271?after=80#post-13490331
This game hits home, i loved the idea. If Karl Marx played this game he would've written Capital 2
I tried to convince KappaJo to put in the Soviet National Anthem on the FIRED screen ;) Thanks for playing.
This is awesome! The music is great, and the minigames are so fun I could play them forever. I love how the game speeds up, which gives you some anxiety, and makes the game more intense. An egg got stuck on my screen, which kind of made the rest of the game a bit more hilarious, but I love the abstract realism!
Thanks! Maybe the stuck egg is a metaphor lol
Fun set of mini games, love the theme of sticking with it no matter what they throw at you.
i love the minigames and how the music gets faster at the end of each one, a bit like the last lap in mariokart, and the cake minigame overloads with cakes at the end lol :))
Thanks! The final Mario Kart lap was a major inspiration (I even referenced the lil jingle in the music), glad that came through
Fun mini games. They are engaging and creative.
Awesome job!
