Initially I had the same idea for the game jam, about repeating daily tasks, but I couldn’t quite land the plot. You pulled it off nicely! 👍There’s a good mix of mini-games. Not every one made sense to me at first, but I managed to figure them out, so it kind of felt like a puzzle game too. I completed John’s work week and had a good time 😄

Tak for spillet! 🇩🇰

One of my favourite games in this jam!! Kind of happy that it finishes with the Score Board because I think I would happily just continue playing forever hahaha Also really sad that John´s dad has him blocked, now I need to know the story of that family drama!!! hahaha

I managed to get sub 70 by getting lucky at "work". Think you can beat it?

The idea is simple but executed perfectly. The amount of minigames is astonishing and kept me hooked until the end. Simple polished mechanics with well made simple tutorial indicators perfect for the Speedrun game it tries to be. Would definitely challenge my friends and replay. Art style and music is also very fitting for the fast paced fun loop. "Work" was my favorite game and muggers caught me off guard haha, could really let this routine derail based on performance. (end up in a mansion or on the street) Great Job!

The game made me smile. I liked the mini games especially the diary where you just smash on the keyboard and then there's the BSOD.

I enjoyed the humor and gags, also I liked your takes on Warioware/dumb ways to die minigames.

The music was made by Nils Harbo (my dad!)

Awesome stuff! I love the amount of different playable mini games, you've done such a large amount of work in such a short period. I love the theme, I would never have paired monotony of daily life with a speed running game but you did an awesome job. Overall a really great game, can highly recommend!
