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!

A clever approach to a clicker game, had me hooked for a while lol, keep up the good work

Submitted

DazoDeveloper1 year ago

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!

Uncomplicated, but cute and just really fucking relatable. Amazing work as a solo dev!

Submitted

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!

vinnieidkSubmitted1 year ago

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.

Submitted

DazoDeveloper1 year ago

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!

His job is boring, who can blame him lol. Thanks for playing!!

Rinanda HidayatSubmitted1 year ago

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!

Submitted

DazoDeveloper1 year ago

Yea bouncing on a chair is a dream job, but even bob got bored of it and went for stealing lol. Thanks for playing!

JackbitSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

Bob lives inside all of us, thanks for playing :)

chunpgSubmitted1 year ago

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.

Submitted

DazoDeveloper1 year ago

Since I was in a 7 year loop of not finishing games, hearing this makes me happy, thanks for playing & commenting!

David Martín SalaSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

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 :)

asdfghjkl_0Submitted1 year ago

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!!!

Submitted

DazoDeveloper1 year ago

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!!

NotSoCoderSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

I genuely got somewhat addicted to it, just love the whole artstyle and concept

Submitted
