How does the game fit the theme?
A supermarket at night can be a very strange place, drunkards, bizzare situations, and things that will make you question if this place is real
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Nice game!
this is actually really well made! it feels pretty complete! the art is also amazing! would have been nice to actually see the chaos unfold LOL, but other than that really solid game! :D
That escalated quickly! Really fun game and I loved the voice acting! Art also was brilliant. Well done!
thank you so much for playing! :DD
SUPER good art and nice imitation of dispatch gameplay. I was a really cool experience to play nightshift - although the nightshift was a tad too long
thank you soso much for playing!! <33 the shift being a tad too long is definitely a reoccurring theme in our reviews- something we will def keep in mind with jams going forward :3 tytyty!! <33
artwork is insane (good)! audio is really cool - and honestly just give theo the store at this point. nice game!
thank you so much for playing!! <33
The artwork of the characters is awesome. As a dispatch enjoyer, I liked this game too. :D
thank you very much! :D so glad we could scratch that dispatch itch :3
I absolutely loved the game! I think theo needs a raise he do a great job
i would agree- Theo carries the team. Bro doesn't want a raise though since it pushes him into the next tax bracket and he does NOT want that (thank you so much for playing! <3)
Never thought I would see a management-like game in a jam. It gets repetitive a little too fast, but I see the potential here. It would be nice to see employees increase their skills through job training and other cool stuff that further development could bring. Overall, a good game.
thank you so much for playing! :D there was defo some stretch-goal we were interested in implementing (skills dropping over the shift indicating burnout that could be refreshed with a smoke break, certain characters getting more of a boost when sent alone vs others when going in a bigger group) so i'm glad our thoughts were on the right track :D tysm for the feedback <3
amazing!
thanks so much!
Loved it! Theo carried me. I realized way to late that managing where anyone is is also important for the task
so glad to hear you had fun!! <33 theo is the goat c:
I love the character design and the gameplay is fun! The voice acting really helps make the characters feel alive. Would love to see more stuff added to this like random events and a story.
thank you so much!! :DD we defo do wanna expand on this :3c
I almost made it a full night!! Gotta love a good Dispatch remake - and the artwork was phenomenal.
eee so close!! it defo gets super tricky towards the end of the shift :] tysm for playing!! <33
Very fun, I love me a good dispatch game. The voice acting is also really nice, not sure if thats you guys or if its stock audio. I wish it wasn't as long as it felt like I got the jist of everything by 2am so ending it at 3am would have been nice. Nice job
yepyep that was us doing the voices :D it was a bit of a last minute addition- wanted to try rope other friends into it but ended up recording them ourselves LOL-- some were even just clipped from discord vc :3 tysm for playing <33
As the other comments have stated this has the promise to be a real game. The Theme is super interesting. The gameplay is tested. My thoughts/questions are what do you guys do instead of a huge story. You should definitely do a story. (one about all the weird MFers you meet would be very funny or even take this down a chthulu route). I think this game is a ripe candidate to evolve the dispatch gameplay formula, that is make it more gameplay.
oh man this is such a lovely comment- thank you!! :DD we defo do wanna expand upon this- it was so fun and we had so many little ideas that just couldn't make the cut!! :3 it definitely scratched that itch where a lot of us enjoyed the mission segments of dispatch and just wanted more :D tysm for playing <3
Cool game with great visuals. its like the game dispatch but a supermarket instead of superheros.
thank you so much! <3
What an eventful night. I also had Theo be my MVP, being sent out 15 times.
Fine take on the game/genre!
theo the GOAT! thank you so much for playing :D
Had a great time playing! The gameplay is fun and easy to pick up, such a great combo. The music is nice, and the visuals look impressive. Amazing work overall!
thank you so much!! <33 so happy to hear you enjoyed yourself :DD
Really enjoyed playing your game. It was not too difficult, but just very fun to fit the best characters in the right tasks. Love the extra of detail on the characters. Also enjoyed the fact the character actually walk in the shop.
I appreciate the game being paused when choosing the team for the task 😄
Well done on the game 👏
thank you so so much! :D it was so fun watching you play it live- thank you for including us on your stream! <33 (you were actually the first person outwith our lil dev group we got to watch play- it was so cool seeing someone put everything together :D )
Excellent character design and nice management game!
thank you so much :DD im glad you had fun <33
Basically Dispatch, I never played that game but I've watched gameplay. IMO it's better cuz it doesn't do that stuff at the end that makes success RNG.. also I like the goth/emo girl she looks rlly nice! Good game!
thank you sm!! :DD aren't retail workers just real-life heroes anyway? >:3
