hey pharland. 

it definitely took me a second to figure out. When all of the buttons were green upon opening the emails, I just assumed to click all of them. It wasn't until I was fired that I took a bit more time and realized what was going on. No big deal and a probably a little bit on my end on not reading carefully enough, though it probably could have been a bit more clear.

I feel like this could be a smaller part of a larger management type game where this is maybe one of many tasks you can/have to complete. 

cool idea and well executed! everything fit well together. i wish the game would keep playing when it loses mouse focus so i could work on my own things while waiting for emails to pop in.  and i wish there were more patterns to the emails to give that part more depth cause it's super cool and fun but lost replayability quickly.

Haha, great idea! 

What I liked the most:

• vibe of the game
• game loop (grind - upgrade - grind - reset - upgrade more and grind better. 10/10 idle game design)
• with a couple of upgrades you start getting this neat idle tick
• while art was super minimal, it was selling the heavy vibe of it support well

Some obvious parts that I miss (probably due to time constraints):

• Music and SFX
• Content variety (I was running across like 3 emails or so with the same order of answers - I think this is a good example where LLM could help with generation of content in a short time frame.
• player's feedback (e.g. I was never informed if I sent the email with all right answers, was it fast enough, was manager getting happier or not, how much did I earn this day etc. Some flowing numbers and/or particles would go a long way here)

Other ideas

• I would love to see some curve-balls from time to time (e.g. similar e-mail but a bit different answers so I am not running on an auto pilot all the time).
• Once you change the job it would be awesome to have a different set of issues coming into my email. The I would have to 'learn' the right answers from the beginning when switching jobs, making it a trade-off scenario (I get a nice cash out but I will need to focus more for a first few days at the new job)
• I would like to see more emails per day, so I feel pressured as an IT help desk consultant.
• I would love to see more idle upgrades. Crypto farm clearly outperforms my day job. If I had to answer way more emails per day I could see some idle upgrades that would automate my tasks somehow.
