Great job! This was very fun and very stressful lol
Yooo I love the environment in this game, with all the cool screws and metal stuff. And the boss is hilarious! I love how when you select difficulties the guy swings his arms crazy lol. I like his dialogue lines too!! I really really like the general gameplay, I think it's pretty cool to multitask and it really feels like I'm manning a factory. Awesome game overall!
Thank you! You are a legend for Detention Bums :)
This is very much the most serious game I've played.
Perfect execution of the theme of Spin to Win! Well, it's more like "spin to not get fired" but I digress.
Woah this is so creative!! The game picks up super fast and is really fun! I loved making my boss mad though he looked so funny and the noise that played was perfect XD
WOW! So happy you hug with us in the cat, and made a super satisfying game to play. Anxiety through the roof! cool stuff and really inventive! well done
Thank you for playing!
This is super serious idea, almost feels like real corporate job :D
I exploded at 123 :/
Really cool idea!
Really crative idea and challanging game!
Really crative idea and challanging game!
The day has come to end, folks, and I'm happy to announce that this game is the best jam game I've played today!
You've earned a spot in my "Best Very Serious Game Jam Games" collection!
Keep up the great work!
This made my day!
Hard to get back to adadadad the normal world 123123123 after playing this addictive adadadad game 123123123!
Great job! Loved it :)
Keep on adadad-ing and 123123-ing! Mix some scroll wheel in there, too!
Thank you! :)
A nice calming game to play before going to work :D, I love the concept and enjoyed playing it, amazing work ♥
It's actually wild for me that some jobs kinda look like this game, but not in a fun way...
Thanks for playing!
I didn't look at the description before playing and found myself in the middle of a serious overstimulation manager :D It was a good kind of stressful because it made me switch between tasks efficiently and training my focus over time. I even made #4 on my first attempt, because the game loop was just that satisfying!
Wow that's a really good score! Thank you for the comment :)
I love the mechanics of this game! It starts off slow but it slowly builds up and gets overwhelming like an actual job! The boss is strict with it, this was well executed good job!
I really wanted for people not to bounce off after the first 10 seconds as it can be a bit slow. But then it picks up as you fall deeper into the corporate machine ;) Thanks for your comment!
HMMM..... HMMMMMMM.....
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....
AAAARGGHHHHH
Please tell me you record yourself doing this hahaha
good job btw !
Sadly, no. But since I made the game I started incorporating those grunts in my everyday life as well :)
Super tough, and well executed! If I wasn't stuck on a trackpad right now, I would grind this out for a bit longer, but this was a lot of fun! I loved that you slowly added in all of the different tasks, rather than throwing them all at the player right from the start. Only complaint is that I didn't get to read all of the great dialogue because I was too dialed in on multitasking.
Wow, attempting this on a trackpad is next level torture! And don't worry, cause the game is like real life where no one pays attention to their boss' ramblings :)
I got about halfway through the 123 sequence one, and everything started to explode! I panicked and lost it all 😅
That's the intended progression path ;)
Seriousness the game
Nice little multitasking simulator. The game's difficulty ramping scale was really well executed. Most importantly the game never felt unfair, whenever I lost it was because I stopped paying attention to something, so that's a huge plus.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, opinions like that do mean a lot - I did something right :)
I really liked how serious this gets! keeping track of all those meters successfully makes me feel really cool :) the sounds of that Manager guy paired with the meters sfx that's based on whether it is in the sweet spot or not levels up the experience even More!
Glad you liked the sound design, I fiddled around with it for a bit, but then found a combination that felt like a perfect balance of anxiety and motivation :) Thank you for the comment!
this game is one of the best ones i have played so far very cool <3
Thank you! <3
