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!

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!
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
the mouse was wiggin' out a little bit but other than that it was a pretty fun time!
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!

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!
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.
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
The game glitches out after starting and doesn't let me click my mouse anymore
