DANCE! BOUNCE! THAT'S ALL I WANNA DO!

This was a fun little experience.

I noticed there’s some music very very quietly playing in the background, and some other effects that seem equally quiet. Not sure if that’s a bug or was accidentally left in. The party music and coin effect are at normal volume though.

My life  would be easier if   I   could press spacebar a couple times and instantly get  timechips

The power and the time

After figuring out how to move (I was trying to use WASD instead of using arrow keys), I found the game pretty straightforward. It felt a little less like a game, and more like a deep, cutting narrative on the joys and grind of life, and how everything is at it's best when you're sitting at home doing absolutely nothing

I've got your game timestamped in this group of playtesting videos

I found this one very interesting! I found the mechanics required to progress the game quite simple and fun.

Game Spoilers Ahead Does the fact that the squares are angry is because you're stealing the energy and money produced from it, or am I stretching my read too much?

Good work!

Looks like an interesting concept but I couldn't really figure out what to do, a controls / tutorial image would have been helpful.

I worked > I consumed > I partied > I retired. The most accurate real life simulator I've seen. Great job!

Short and sweet! The interaction of walking past the disapproving squares was pretty neat. Sometimes in life, all it takes to be happy is some rave lights and some big speakers. Nicely done :)
