How does your game fit the theme?
In the game, the player is stuck in the same daily routine — work, serve customers, sleep a bit, repeat. The job never ends, and the tasks just keep looping over and over again. No matter how tired the player gets, they still have to wake up and do the same thing again. It’s not just the gameplay that loops — the whole vibe of the game is about being trapped in a cycle that feels endless. Wake up, work, get tired, sleep, then do it all again. It’s a loop that gets heavier the longer the player is in it. Just like real life when running on empty.

I like the mechanics of typing different keys to finish the tasks. I think it keeps things more interesting, especially since we repeat the same routine over and over.
Simple yet very cute! Really liked the art and the chill music! Great job and well done!
thank you for playing!
Amazing visuals, relaxing music, an endless amount of rabbits and one cat trying to keep it all together! An amazing game!
thank you so much for playing!
Cute game! Didn't really get how it fits the theme but it was enjoyable
thank you for playing and the new perspective!! i wanted to imply that working in a convenience store is like working in a loop, doing the same thing all day and night.
This game is very cute ! It does a really good job at replicating the feeling of working as a cashier XD I liked the resource management aspect of having to balance how much you sleep and how much you work! The only thing I would recommend would be including a progress bar, or a clock showing how close you are to the end of the shift, as initially I thought that there wasn't an ending and it went on forever ^^'
thank you for playing and the feedback! i wanted to add a time indicate like sunset and sunrise, which i did not make it in time. but the progress bar is a good idea, i should have added that XD
Very cute and relaxin game!
thank you for playing! happy to hear that!
Congrats on making it to the finish line, the game is quite chill and even if you could expand with more mini games variety, I personally had a relaxing moment. You also teach a great morale, work to live, not the opposite :3
mirroring our society now, work to live TWT. glad to hear that from you! thank you for playing and your advice!
this really relaxed me, thanks!
glad to hear that, thank you!!
If not for cute animals this would have been a way more sad game, haha!
I mistook the C for a G an vice-versa a few time.
Good job with this entry!
thank you for playing! i was going to draw humans at first but it might have been too gloomy, so i adjusted by drawing animals XD Also, thank you for your comment on the c and g button! might have to fix it later, thank you!
Remarkable first game, congrats! The sunk cost fallacy made me finish it, but I think cutting the time needed to reach the ending in half would still accomplish your vision. Hope you had fun making it!
thank you so much for playing, im so happy to hear that someone finished the game ! i honestly also thought the amount of customers you have to reach might be too much, because the gameplay could get pretty boring in the long run TWT. but glad to hear that advice, thank you!
such a cute little game, first of all congrats on submiting your first entry! that already a huge win!
the game itself was charming, i really enjoyed the narrative and the little mechanics, the music choise was also excellent, very grooovy.
the gameplay was a bit too repetitive for me, but still had a great time with it. keep doing it!
thank you for playing and comment!! glad you like the music, and i admit that the gameplay is really repetitive because i cut other game mechanics out so there is just one left XD might not make it in time, but happy to hear that opinion!
Nice game, and it's the first time making one, that's awesome. I enjoyed this typing game, and it stayed in the loop theme very well. If you ever update the game and polish it, I would love to see some more challenges or achievments, maybe some point system and cosmetic stuff. Overall a great game!
ohhh nice ideas! that make me want to upgrade this game, thank you for your advice and for playing!!
great game best way to learn how to fast type ❤️
thank you for playing!!
This is a great game, especially as a first entry! I think you capture the monotony of retail work perfectly, waiting for a customer to come because you want something to DO but then immediately wanting them to leave again so you can go back to sleeping haha. The cashier minigame was also very fun and well made, it made me want to improve my typing skills. Good job, hope you keep making games!
thank you so much for playing and comment! this really hypes me up to make more game!!
Nicely done. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
thank you so much! this will motivate me to make the other game idea i have !!
Well I will keep an eye out for it. Hope it goes well.
Super cute! Narrative by gameplay, very clever! Wouldn't bother getting a job if I were this cute though.
haha xD thank you so much! happy to hear that!!
The art style is super cute! Gameplay-wise, I think it's actually quite fun, though a bit monotonous. I like this game.d(ﾟ∀ﾟd)
thanks for playing!! i actually want to add more game mechanics but i was afraid i might have to take a lot of time on research, so i just stick to the basic TWT. thank you for your comment, happy to hear that!
That one is cute and depressing xD I got the dying screen from overwork... I like the typing game disguised as a seven eleven simulator.
glad you like it!! i choose typing mechanic because in real life you have to work fast too lol, so you have to type fast! thank you so much for playing!
Very good first submission for a first game jam! You can really feel the boredom of cashier life xD. All that’s missing is my smoke and coffee break haha.
thank you so much for playing!! i actually planned to add some items like the energy drink at first to make it more real, like drinking to keep yourself awake during work TWT
This is incredibly cute, and totally unenjoyable! (In exactly the way you intended, great work). Really captured the monotony of working retail, something I've sure many of us have had to deal with.
working in retail mostly is monotony indeed, so the tone of graphic is in a mono color! thank you for playing!!
