This had me seriously spinning a lot of plates, what a challenge! As a big fan of the WarioWare games, this was right up my alley, great job!
this is so fun, i was going on and of tabs, going nuts trying to do well, i failed both times but had a great time, i just had one issue where the mouse was messing up and clicking in the wrong spot and flashing back to the normal mouse
Great concept, difficulty scales well and I liked the variety of activities and distractions. Visuals and audio are nice. Slacking off on your job is VERY SERIOUS. Great Job!
Great game! I played a similar game where you have to work an office job and try not to get caught gambling. That one was a horror game with sudden jumpscares, whilst this one had a lot of variety in tasks and needed much more input from the user. I think you did a great job in your game's genre. Good visuals, fitting audio. Only feedback I have is that the mouse is kind of finnicky. Other than that: good work!
Thanks! Yeah, I played that other game as well (or maybe there is just multiple games with the similar premise). The mouse being finnicky was a bug that was introduced in the web build and we prioritized fixing other things (and also kindof forgot). But glad you enjoyed!
This is a cool concept, but I don't think it's quite the game for me. It's a bit of sensory overload to my brain. My mouse pointer was also fighting with the in game cursor? They didn't align and it was flickering between the two. Other than that though, this was a fun little experience to at least try. The art is really good, everything felt responsive from the little bit I played, and all the sound effects did help to try and keep me on top of what was important in the moment. The music was also nice, but it did get drowned out at times because of everything always making a noise. Still, I can see a lot of effort and work went into this, so I gotta give mad props to making this in a weeks time. It's kinda impressive. Great work!
Thank you for your long response. Yeah, I can imagine that it can be a bit overwhelming :), especially when the volume is too high. And the thing with the mouse pointer only happened in the browser for some devices (like my laptop as well), it has to do with the custom cursor and we didn't get to fixing it in the end. I would have liked to work more on the sound balancing itself, but after creating 90% of the sounds like 2 days before the deadline I wasn't able to make it so that some sounds are even quieter when zoomed out. Welp, there is always a next time!
Its a very interesting game you made out of the theme, personally didnt expect it but it was a fun surprise :D
This game made me a real stock investor. I had a lot of fun, juggeling all the different monitors.
Great game! Keep it up!❤︎
This game is so cool!
the mouse was wiggin' out a little bit but other than that it was a pretty fun time!
Glad you still enjoyed it. Yeah, the mouse being weird only was present in the web build, and we were too tired to fix it and instead did some rebalancing in the last hours.
Super fun lmao, I love games where you multitask alot like Frickbears 3 so this is right up my ally too! Super charming aswell, with very random and funny tasks at times too, great work!

Hey, I was busy the last 2 days so I'm only writing now, but I'm glad you enjoyed our game. Thank you!
I liked this a lot!! I really liked the balance of tasks to get you more money and tasks you have to perform quickly to not get fired, plus the added challenge of captchas and agreeing to the TOS helped to elevate the difficulty. The humor of this game was also spot on. Loved it!
Hey! Thanks a lot. We really worked a lot today to fix some major bugs and do some rebalancing. Glad you enjoyed it. I will definetly check out your game tomorrow! (Need to finally sleep :) )

I love the retro Windows 98 UI! I did my best to increase shareholder value but had a hard time spinning the wheel. Creative premise and you nailed the tone, although I do fear for what I have agreed to with all those ToS and agreeing to sell my soul and all. Also you can't fire me, I quit!
Glad that you enjoyed game, thank you. I was really hoping that someone would read through the ToS, I wrote quite a while on that and the players are sadly supposed to scroll past it. I will definetly check out your game tomorrow!
I played on the browser which might've not been the best way to experience the game.
It was quite fun, the input tasks to write something where not working properly for me, but the rest was pretty okay.
The game crashed on me a few times, might've been itch and not the game it self. Also tried 2 times and I dont know what should've done differently to earn more, the input errors might've been the issue here though, I ran out of time after doing a spin on the Unlock Container.
Hey, thanks a lot for the review! We have now fixed the crash and all the other issues you mentioned. Hope you'll give it another go! We also did some major rebalancing that should make it a lot more fun.
Love the idea and aesthetic! The game stops taking input sometimes, which I think is a Control node Mouse Filter issue on some scenes. You should also adjust the cursor hotspot because the custom image doesn't quite line up with where it actually clicks.
Looks like interesting project, but I wasn't able to play fully game stops to respond on any actions after about 1 minute of playing
We have now fixed all of the issues that we weren't able to get to throughout the day (We just submitted it and went to sleep). If you want you can give it another go, but I will check out your game tomorrow for sure!
The game glitches out after starting and doesn't let me click my mouse anymore
Thanks for the review, this should now be fixed.
