How does your game fit the theme?
Our game is built around two overlapping countdowns. A deadline forces you to keep working, and every second you spend on it costs you your hair — when it runs out, you lose. At the same time, retreating into the corporate minigame Scrunch Culture racks up notifications on your desktop; let them pile up too long, and your boss counts down to firing you.

nice
I felt like a real computer engineer
I'm really sorry
Not quite sure if there was a way to slow the hair loss timer and I couldn't tell what the necktie minigame did, but I like the concept and the art of this game a lot!
Unfortunately I also believe that the game was not working quite right for me, given that my hair kept falling no matter what I did (which also hit too close to home). The artwork is nice though, and the concept is solid.
Love the visuals of the game, the concept is funny and creative, and the sfx / music are great. Not sure if the game worked for me; If I kept playing the game and ignoring the emails / not working, my hair continued to fall out and my boss didn't come to check on me / punish me. But from the description of the game, that shouldnt have happened. Also the text was a bit too small to be readable. Either way, cool game idea and I love the goofy art style you went for plus the countdown theme being used to represent hair falling out lol.
my boss told me to think outside the box… so I started working from home... fun game! looks really good!
I'm gonna fire my boss before he fires me
Unique idea, with nice art and audio feedback, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around what I was doing. In essence if the tasks on either screen meant anything because I was losing hair regardless.
Nice environment and art, I like the idea and the execution even better. Nice!
Amazing game! and a fun gameplay loop. i liked how losing was losing your hair! but i think you should make the character image a little more on screen.
I lost my hair. Tried my best at both activities. Unique idea but time was very short.

Yes, that's definitely something we'll fix after the voting period! Thanks for trying out the game!
My boss is gay 😔😔 he keeps giving me work
😔😔
I couldn't make it that far because my hair would fall out no matter what I did. But I still enjoyed everything else about the game.
Apparently, I lost my hair.
Oh, I'm really sorry for your loss
"I have to go to work !", great game !
Got confused on how to stop my hair from falling out, but thought the mini games were satisfying to play through a couple times.
i think it really needed a tutorial but after that its fun :)
Fun little game, though was a bit tricky to figure out what I was supposed to be doing at first lol
Fun idea!
