How does your game fit the theme?
The main character is a dev participating in this (GMTK Game Jam) to break from their endless loop of 9-5. The game loops in a single level but gets harder over time. The main game loop is perfecting a repeating sequence (a loop) of actions in an efficient manner.

Loved it. Similar to what my team did with minigames to improve our characters mood. I agree with BlopBlopGames1. Very hard to mange stats when they go down as quickly as they go up.
Nice to see other people having similar ideas, yet we still end up with unique game experiences due to implementations :D . I tried to lean on the frantic stressful side but yeah it's overtuned lol.
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it!
I liked the idea of the games inside you game. Maybe the character could resist a little bit more without food.
Many parts of the game really need better balance haha. Thanks for playing!
Too real it hurtsOn my screen the UI is small hope I can scale it but really love this concept and story! Fits the game jam well.So sorry there weren't options to make the UI bigger, I didn't have time and not sure what the best way to do it is :( . Glad you enjoyed it still, thanks for playing!
This is a really fun way of taking the theme!
Petting pets was best part of the game hehehe
Glad you liked it! The pets would be happy to hear haha. Thanks for playing!
I really liked it, great take on the theme! The only problem is I couldn't figure out where to get water from. I tried interacting with everything, but couldn't find it. Other than that, you can pet the animals, so 10/10!
Oh I'm sorry I didn't include that in the tutorial! You can get water from the drinks cabinet next to the kitchen, from day 2 onwards. It looks like this:
So glad that you liked the game despite being dehydrated constantly, must've been so tough to clear the day. Thanks for playing!
A game that has a looping mechanic but a pretty hard and challenging startup I love it <3 the more you play the more you learn how this game works that dog and rabbit is so cute too! other than that wish there were audio. AWESOME GAME
Sorry I couldn't add the audio in time, many parts of the game was a last minute ditch too haha.
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed the game and the pets!
Pretty sweet game, I think I'll name my game 9-5 ;-)
I really liked how the loop mechanic works on several levels, the mini games, the repetitive tasks and even dying... Great take on the theme.
Nawww I literally read your comment as I was coming home from a 9-5 💀. Anyways, glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
the first day is the hardest, just like real life. one step at time
So true... now it feels so nostalgic to look back at all the first days. Thanks for playing!
You can pet the pets. 10/10
Totally realistic mechanic, can confirm I collapse and die if I don't pet my pets. Thanks for playing!
