How did you implement the Theme?
You are trying to gather enough money to retire, but at every job you take, your boss ends up being a micromanager!
How did you add the Special Object?
The coin is a little animation on the money-savings screen; it represents money.
What tools and 3rd party assets did you use?
PICO-8 was used as the engine, and Procreate was used for the art.

Fun game to play through! I love the gameplay loop and overall goal to build towards. It actually blows me away that this is the first game your account published on itch.io. Surely you guys are very experienced in game development right? I also can't really think of much constructive criticism to give aside from maybe the minigame where you input x, z, and the arrow keys is a bit difficult, even on the earlier days for me (tbh that's probably just a skill issue on my end though). Overall great job, the game is insanely polished and the tune played when sorting through the papers minigame is probably gonna play on loop in my head for a bit lol.
Hellooo, you have no idea how happy we where to see your comment!
It was amazing and surprising to see someone finish the game! We where over the moon. Thank you so much for the kind comment and playing.
And to answer your question, no we are not experienced in game dev! In fact, it was my first jam and our first jam as a team.
We also took in your comment (and others we play tested with had similar issues) and updated the game to have that data entry task less disorienting.
Again,
Thanks for playing!
Ummmmmmmmmmm sir, I think you got the wrong section, this is a game jam, steam is that way ->
Legit I would grind the heck out of this game, if you decide to further dev this and release it I want to buy it pls
Haha, thank you so much! What a massive compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed the grind.
We do have some ideas for expanding it post-jam, so keep an eye out!
Thanks for playing.❤️
Okey, its awesome, its feels like papers please, which could be this small idea back in early dev days. :D
Thank you!
Papers, Please was definitely an inspiration for the vibe we were going for. ❤️
good game. nice to play. tutorial is clear and not annoying.
Thank you!
Making a tutorial that isn't annoying and understandable was a big deal for us in the development. I'm happy to hear it worked well for you.!
Thanks for the feedback!
Glad the humor and the tunes resonated with you.
Totally hear you on the resolution/art expectations based on the web page. Pico-8's aesthetic was a fun constraint, especially for a jam, and we'll definitely keep the game's page's presentation in mind for the future!
Very cool concept, 100% could be expanded into a very fun full game.
Thank you! We're happy with the core concept. Expanding it into a full release is definitely something we might be considering now after all this great feedback!❤️
This was really good! Great polish, strong concept :) It made me stressed like a real micromanager would. Well done, you should be very proud!
Ayyy, Mission accomplished, kinda! Making the player feel micromanagement stress was the goal. Thank you so much for the kind words!
this is probably my favorite game so far too.
Thank you so much!
my favorite so far
Thanks! That's very high praise and it made us very happy to see as the first comment❤️
