Dang, this game is a blast ! Our team also had a similar idea of doing 9-5 job on a loop basis but you guys nailed it! Enjoyed all minigames. Hope so you can make something big out of this! Cheers and all the best!

An exceptionally well made game about the endless and meaningless labor of a 9-5. The visual is top notch, the sound design is amazing, making the game feel smooth and great to play.

Don't tell HR, but if my job was this colorful, I'd work for an extra hour or two

Developer

Thanks a lot I'm glad you like it. And exactly, I too believe we would enjoy this world more if it had prettier colors. So I am trying to make the world more colorful

Amazing art and color choices. The minigames feel very smooth to play. I really like the storytelling through the minigames. Well done.

Developer

Thanks :D

Incredibly fun game! Also extremely funny. I loved the part where it made me throw out my family photo. -1 brownie point for the inclusion of the word sigma. Otherwise perfect.

Developer

Well I didn't know there was "sigma" word in the game till I exported it :/ I wonder who did it

Developer(+1)

probably just a glitch :)

Hilariously cynical game about work life!  It stressed me out like a day in the office.  Well done!

Developer

the game gives me ptsd too :(

Woah, this game made me laugh for real! It's hilarious! Also, very beautiful hand drawn work, it's quite impressive. I've stumbled upon a level with the memorising papers - they didn't move, didn't do anything. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Anyway, game is top-notch, I'm really enjoying this career ladder :D

So the paper game (all people complain about it, and sadly I was the one who made it), it just to click the folders in the corresponding numbers, and that's about it, thank you for your kind comment :D

Ohhhh! I see! Now I need to try again! My highest rank is CEO!

Perfect use of the theme. Art is super cute! Restarting the game puts you at one life instead of the starting three on first load. On the throw trash into the can level, I wondered why it wasn’t going to the next level. Then I threw the family picture into the bin, I thought that was funny. Well done.

Developer

You don't need family in this game, the only family is work :D
