A truly peak minigame-mayhem-wario-ware-deltarune-explosion type game! The minigames themselves were fun and offered a lot of gameplay variety, and the upgrade system was a great way for the player to reduce difficulty on some of the more complex games that required extra attention to not fail (mostly lawn mower and FNAF for me). There are so many different ways the player can strategize around these upgrades to help them win, which makes the game really interesting(I found that I could basically turn the clown mini-game into a money farm if I cranked up the max number of mistakes, since the tomatoes only really hit the clown every once in a while). The level of game juice and polish on this thing is also insane, from the interactable title screen to the crazy death screen, everything just feels really fun and good to play. Anyways, amazing job on this submission, definitely one of my top picks for the jam!
(Gonna opt out from voting this year again since I don't want any rivalry bias to give you a lower score than you deserve lol, but I will give feedback still)
Super solid entry even though I kinda sucked a bit (my mouse was acting up a lot though so it could've easily been that), very stressful when you get multiple jobs (in a good way) and a surprising amount of variety for just using simple mouse controls. I did find out you can consistently bug out the mining game by clicking blocks while the screen pans down and then you can never get fired from that job so uhhh. Shop is a cool concept for this game, spending money to possibly gain some back etc etc, I liked the auto flipping burger one since it let me semi-ignore the burgers so I could focus on sweep sweep sweeping. Also am I stupid or is landmine check an auto fail every single time I may have tried it like three different times to see if anything would change
overall another nice cream game so ofc its gonna be quite a cool one, can't wait to lose again this year :placeholder:
It's hard to manage 2 tabs. But liked the idea and the minigames. Effects and sounds are good. Overall great idea.
Okay you can't just have a game with the Deltarune explosion and then a choice prompt with the option "Proceed".
Other than that, this one rules. (Another Nice Cream banger, who knew.) I was originally going to say that I kept capping out at four jobs before losing each day and that I didn't have it in me to multitask further, but somehow the more I played, the more easily I was able to handle everything. I love when games make me reassess my capabilities in real time. (Though I guess some of the upgrades helped.) If I had to nitpick, the "retry" option doesn't seem too consequential; I feel like you should've either had the game go on for seven days or made the option set back your money. The janitor job also didn't seem to work for me sometimes and I don't know why. These aren't too big of issues, though.
This was a unique experience, I loved the silly style and the minigames. Both made an incredible job!
Never would I have thought that a multi-tasking Wario Ware could do for a great management game.
The style, the sfx, the references, the shitpost-like nature of the game, it all screams early Newgrounds Flash Game, in the best way possible!
Don't know if this game could become a full release afterwards, but, man, I'd pay to see it becoming true, literally.
Holy frik that was hard, and impressive all that works at once XD
Absolutely adore the art and presentation on this.
The gameplay is no slouch either. Minigames are varied and enjoyable.
Fantastic work, Good "whole package" experience.
I keep getting fired haha, loved the animation when I did though. I enjoying play it kept me on my toes!
Perfect 5/5 for me! I knew this one was gonna be a banger when the previews before submissions. really good work!
SO FUN. This is DEFINITELY one of the ones I'm gonna be coming back to. The fired screen was hilarious and just in general the experience of playing this was an absolute treat.
