A pretty and cute game. Innovative with its mechanics, cozy sounds. The fact that each time you need to unjumble the mess of characters but you can use the context to your advantage(and also plan for the next animals) is cool. Would appreciate if the timer to the end of the shift was more on the nose. In the beginning I didn't notice it at it at all and the shifts seemed to end very abruptly. The summary at the end of each shift makes a difference. Also makes one laugh when he doesn't have money(or perhaps they are laughs of despair). This game has shown me the future of my employment it seems.

Grandma's jamThank you very much for playing! We hope you enjoyed it. There was a mechanic, that would actually make the ending of the shift less abrupt. But sadly it didn't get through in the last minute push :D
Anyway, we are glad you found the game innovative <3
Also, if you don't want laughs of despair, you can try playing more boldly ;)
I heard Kingdom Cow Deliverance was such a slop and flop… This on the other hand is really great! :D Obviously the art is beautiful and overall it is a great idea that’s nicely implemented! I felt like indian tech support SIIIR DO NOT GO TO AIRPORT SIIR, YOU WILL MEET YOUR NEPHEW SIIIIR!!! :DD

Quit BaldlyThis is definitely one of the best submissions imo! Which comes as no surprise, coming from the team behind such bangers as Play with Me and The Last Sentence. You lot always make such great games!!!
I love the graphics!!! And the sound design sdfkghflkjgshdlkgjshdflk !!!!!! And the plot twist after you figure out how to play the game well is really fun! I love all the letters you get at the end of the day :D

12 to 12Thank you so so much for the kind words! This made my day a thousand times better instantly! Not only did i not expect such high praise, but to also have someone remember both our previous games?? This is what fame must feel like... :Ddddd
But seriously, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and our take on the topic!
Interesting idea and amazing visuals only annoying thing was not being able to interact with just clicking and not enough variety of dialogs

GravexplosionThis let me fulfill my fantasy (getting hired)
Figuring out how to play the game was fun, and the theme is spot on. The noises and music were top notch as well, and I love the art!

Jeff TextyLove the Papers please vibe & the graphics! Took me a while to find the best strat, but after realizing what the topic is I figured it out. After seeing how misleading tourists can make funny stories, I’ll start sending tourists from the center to Anděl, surely nothing bad will happen…

Quit BaldlyOoh what a fun idea, nice job guys! The controls felt super smooth and I loved the little details like the duck and being able to control the radio, which I always love in video games. The art style is lovely, the animals all look very cute:)
The letters at the end of each day were hilarious, sweet and nicely written. They made my experience of sending everyone to random places even more enjoyable. I somehow managed to pass with flying colors, so I got to keep both the roof above my head and my job :D

TipswordInsane brum brum burm and blu blu blu. But the best was mooo mooo moooo (love the visuals, controls and music). But I'm not sure if Im missing something, but I dont see how it's connected to the theme?

Bold Bandithey there! thanks for the feedback, the sounds were fun to record (but my neighbours couldn't have been happy with us as it was 1am:Ddd).
the theme is: you could play it safe and not have enough customers, but you also could be a bit bold and just guess! the decision itself to lie about knowing all the languages is bold, but pointing to random locations is even bolder! (and you can also see that if you are bold and just tell them to go somewhere without trying to understand them, you will get so much money! fortune favours the bold!😁)
Blu blu blu blup blup blub blub blu blu blup blu blub blup blu blu blup blup blub blu blup blu blub blub blub blu blu blup blup (This game is very cute and plays very nicely! The notes at the end are deffinitely the highlight for me. Had fun sending everyone to play video games!)
