I feel like the theme was not really well interpreteted but still a fun game and teh art and sounds are so good!

That was very creative, very fun, and I LOVED it! It was a very simple game but very addicting! Loved the mini games for extra XP as well! Overall, just great, EVERYTHING! Took me 28 minutes to get my 8 passes also, couldn't believe I was playing for that long lol! Solid work, and Great Job!

Decent incremental, but the pace is too slow imo. The minigames are cool, but playing them for experience is pointless, because the bottleneck for buying upgrades is the applications, not the experience.

Guess this will happen to me one day... Good game! You know everything in this game really serves me the stuff that I never knew I needed- and, man, when I got the 7/8 qualified, I made my biggest exhale , and that straight up reset my respiratory system, and I can breathe clearly again after 7 years of blowing a bubble. Good time, and thank you so much!

Man, even with all all upgrades, it still replicated the experience of applying for a job.

Solid work!

Interesting take on the idle clicker incremental. Well polished and serious (unserious).

My ADHD monkey brain got locked in with this game, holy cow. I sent 2171 apps over 22:05 minutes. I really liked the projects, it broke up the continuous spacebar-spacebar-spacebar-spacebar of sending applications. The slow-mo 7/8 pass was MEAN (in a good way :P) and really got my hopes up the first time it happened. By the 100th slow-mo I was kinda tired of it and just wanted to keep sending more applications. So... I think you replicated real life?? Oddly enough I hit my first 7/8 before I ever got the "guarantee 1 pass" upgrade, and it took me maxing that out + maxing out the pass chance + submitting a ton of apps before I actually won; the RNG felt rigged because of that, and I was worried that an 8/8 was locked behind all upgrades maxed out (which would have been a bit much). The time flew by playing this, fantastic job!

IT HAS TO BE HIDDEN BEHIND A SPOILER. I nearly got heart attack when I saw word j*b. Jokes aside caught myself playing for more than 20 min i think, good j*b!

Very fun Incremental game, taking this very stressful real problem seriously!! May first upgrades a bit tedious to get but overall it feels good incremental!

I added your game to Spincremental Collection, my personal campaign of finding more fun Spincremental games (clicker and incremental genre)  and highlighting them. I'd like to hear more suggestions about your discoveries in this jam via reply or you can comment in this post.

This is almost too realistic. Well done >.<

As a fellow Godot dev and clicker genre fan, I absolutely loved it! At the start the applications seemed a little too slow for me, and at the end I was getting many 7/8 and the slowed effect was a bit annoying. Regardless, great game!!

Cool little incremental game!

Nice concept! It was a bit boring to start but got more engaging as I played.

Submitted(+1)

The beginning is a little boring, but after that i found it really fun!

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed it. Just out of curiosity, what are the odds of getting all 8 checks, aka winning the game, without any of the modifiers that increase the chance of getting a checkmark, including the I know a guy one? like whart are the odds you get it on the first application? But anyway, very funny and fun game

Have to agree with the others; The beginning felt a bit slow but after the first few upgrades it got very addicting! Also, very serious and yet still funny theme!
