I played this cuz the title was funny. The chair's sounds are just the right kind of juicy. I probably jumped on that chair for 5 minutes straight. Good job!
I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to make that chair as satisfying to jump on as possible, yet bob kept stealing :), thanks for playing and giving feedback!
great game nice work
Thanks for trying it out!
I love this spin on the theme lol. Very solid game with good art and audio!
I tried a different approach this time :), Thanks for trying it out!
A clever approach to a clicker game, had me hooked for a while lol, keep up the good work
Not gonna lie the game is lacking a lot of clicker features that keep players hooked, but glad that you found something in it! thanks for playing!
This game just reminds me that I hate my boring job ! Very realistic Congratulations !
Yes it was just for the vibe and a couple minutes of play time), glad you liked it!
Uncomplicated, but cute and just really fucking relatable. Amazing work as a solo dev!
Yes I wanted to keep it simple because I have a habit of overcomplicating stuff and never finishing the mess XD, thanks for trying it out and for the feedback!
the sheer dread when you are bored of jumping but it says "You are promoted." Amazing game well done! Good sound design, I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.
Yes, I found that jumping alone is boring, so I added that, it means a lot that you noticed the effort spent to make this game! thank you!
i hate bob. because it is me.
Many people relate to our guy Bob. Thanks for taking part in his job lol!
I RESONATE WITH BOB. SAVE HIM. ACTUALLY.! Interesting game! It's so simple but so fun! I want to adopt a grown man because of this ( let bob out!!!)
this bob guy has the grossest work-noises, and i love gettin caught by the cops sunglasses emoji, nice game <3
Yea I took my time picking those :) Thanks for playing
I played Bob was a criminal! XD
Loved the music very fitting for each scene.
His job is boring, who can blame him lol. Thanks for playing!!
A fun and simple clicker game with a hilarious theme! I love how the multiplier urge you to do more risky play!
I wish I can get paid just by bouncing on my chair, lucky bob!
Yea bouncing on a chair is a dream job, but even bob got bored of it and went for stealing lol. Thanks for playing!
Cant stop getting fired for stealing company profits, super fun and addictive game. Love it!
I guessed that most people well go that route and not grind on the desk haha, thanks for playing!
Poor bob... Sacrificed his job for money, just for it to be all spent by me 😭😭fire game dude, keep up the great work!
Yes he got punished for it :), I appreciate the comment and kind feedback <3
yw :D
Bob is me fr
Bob lives inside all of us, thanks for playing :)
I like the idea of combining a simulator-type game with the idea of working a job. I thought that the big pile of money was very intriguing and its a pretty complete game.
Since I was in a 7 year loop of not finishing games, hearing this makes me happy, thanks for playing & commenting!
Really enjoyable loop of gameplay, It makes me try to beat myself stealing all the posible money.
The art fits the game and feels so good with the art style.
You should be really proud of yourself
I appreciate the feedback! I did try to make the art different this time, glad you liked it :)
i love the concept!! i wish we could see the stuff we bought previously though, so it feels like there's some sense of progress even if it's all meaningless and we're stuck in a loop anyway! (consumerism :0 ) i could totally see myself spending hours on a version of the game where i could see all the clutter i- i mean bob ends up accumulating LOL
plus the art style fits the game so well, i love the vibes :DD
also eyyy solo game asw!!!
Yes, I thought of adding a saving system but I didn't have much time, and I didn't want the player to go the risky way knowing that everything is going to be saved anyway. There must've been a better way to do it I guess lol.
Thanks for the feedback!!
I genuely got somewhat addicted to it, just love the whole artstyle and concept
This is my first solo finished game! I am so happy to see that you liked it
