Hi! I'm from the community thread! Overall, I would say I agree with the eightball aspect being a bit unclear concerning how it related to the game and the theme. But I do not know a lot about eightball! I liked the concept of the game, but the final decisions felt a bit too random to me. This is impressively polished though! And funny, through the sometimes weird requests and the title of the game. Congrats!
I'm sorry that the eightball aspect of my game was unclear. I myself thought it would be a creative idea since the die inside of the eightball spins when you make your choice. Otherwise thank you for the feedback!
The office dudes give me the tingles from a Simpler Time... cool game though!
Thank you!
Really liked all the ambient sounds. Also thought it was funny imagining saying yes or no to some of the employees request. It's a neat balancing act trying to keep both morale and money up
Thanks!

Cool concept and impressive art
Thanks for the feedback!
Cool concept! Love the comedic dialogue!
Thank you!
that was fun, really interesting mechanics! i feel bad for thomas tho, poor kid :(
Me too lol
Very fun dialogue and creative use of the theme, very comedic office sim. Nice work :)
Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Pretty interesting game. I like how you have to make a trade-off with each decision, trading morale for money or spending money to gain morale, and how each employee has a different attitude. I guess you could say you are “spin”ing around the office to resolve issues.
Thanks lol
I mean, it's fun, and really well done, you should be proud of it, of course, but I don't see any spinning, really. I understand how the 8-ball was meant to be the spin theme, and it makes sense, I guess, but idk, just doesn't do it for me.
It is a very good game though!
Thanks! I guess in my head I thought it would fit the theme well and I couldn't really come up with any ideas that interested me.
I really like the audio and the visuals. Very job like vibes in a unique way. Simple game loop but well executed, very well done!
Thanks for the feedback!
This is the best one I've tried so far. I love the aesthetic and theme, and that the green/red bars change in length based on how willing the player character is to do something. It's like a little bit of that character asserting their own will over you, the one pressing the buttons. Creative use of spin to win too! Also the concept of going around and asking all the employees for money (the menu option) is a very funny image. The office sound effects were a nice touch too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great game! I liked the art style.
Thanks!
You get full marks for seriousness. This game looks polished as HECK graphics are smooth and run great even in the browser. The menus are clean. It just feels like you wanted to create something much larger! I can feel it.
Not sure if the 8ball was inspired by the spin to win theme?
Thank you, and yes, the eight ball seemed to fit the theme a lot better in my head but I think my execution wasn't too good. Anyway thank you for the feedback!
Love the sounds! Really makes me think I'm actually in an office.
Thank you!
