Cool interpretation of the theme :)
And although simple, the gameplay was satisfying.
In part due to the good sound design with the little blips and click sounds.
Also the art is amazing for a game jam.

One thing i would have liked to see differently:
The ads with buy button were a little too frequent, almost 50% spawn rate compared to the regular ones.
I think less of them would have caught the player more off guard. They also weren't quite as nice to click.

Solid for a game jam, one of the nicer looking desktop sims I've seen around during the jam. Relaxing music, and the color scheme worked really well for what you were going for. I noticed sometimes the calendar seemed to count multiple days at once, not sure if that was on purpose or if I broke something. Also, funny story, I bought and used the magnifying glass the first day the multi-buttons appeared and I was very very confused as to what was going on. I luckily spammed them and realized they went away so I passed them that day and figured them out the next.

Really fun game! The whole aesthetic and vibe is so well put together, I can't believe it was done for a game jam! Game loop is solid too, and the game lasts just long enough not to overstay its welcome. Great job!

Interesting and relaxing clicker game idea! I love the visual style and sound track choice. The art feels really very polished. I was actually able to get 1000 euro on the 12th day and wondering why it doesn't allow me to "book" the Bahamas ticket, maybe I have to finish the assigned 30-day shift? lol The first 3 days of game experience is good, though after that it becomes a bit too easy and no new content until much after after the 13th day. I wish the newer ads, like the count down ads, can come in earlier; and if new items can appear in shop that will add more fun to the game progression. Overall a great entry and feel very plished visual!

The game is absolutely gorgeous I could look at it all day :D  Gameplay was unfortunately not very fun.  Good job though!

The details in this game really made it! I loved all the little storytelling and attention that was paid to the items around your desk, as well as the blend of 3d and 2d assets! Really good job, this is  an aspirational game jam submission for me.

Thank you! It was really fun to create those small details as well.

I really like the visuals, narrative, audio and the creativity behind this however i did get 1000 on around day 17 and honestly just got a bit more dull and boring later on, since i basically did not have to do anything else. Nonetheless, good idea!

Developer

Thanks for playing our game!

This game is really pretty, but it gets kind of stale very quickly. I think more types of pop-ups or items would keep the game feeling fresh as the player slowly gets more and more money.

super cool and unique game! really fun to play and has really good art and audio! keep it up :) !

I really like the pc studio and the pop ups model (and the graphic in general). we did something similar as well so i'm biased (just a bit)

Very polished game! The mouse was a little hard to control at first, but I got used to it after a while. I really love the warm and cute art style!

super cute vibe and feel, love the music and graphics, do wish the pace was a bit faster/exciting/more variety, maybe some new mechanic on the 2nd-3rd day would be perfect!

Super cute!! I loved the cozy vibe and audio. The mouse kept on jumping around for me (there was an error popup when I first opened the game, so maybe that's why?) so I gave up around day 4 but still had a good time.

This has one of the most beautiful aesthetics I've seen in the jam so great work on that. The pace was maybe a bit slow, I was surprised to see new mechanics coming in when I was almost at €1000. Unfortunately when the "select coffee" adds came in I think something broke and the rest of the day would continue with no ads. Really cool idea though, well done

I think game drags for a lil bit way too long, I was able to get needed 1000 (I suppose that's how much you need), in 15-ish days, and honestly was already a bit bored, so I dropped the game at that moment, but if you would bring new mechanics such as multi click adds earlier that maybe could've done it a lil better for me. Nevertheless, great job!

Cozy game! I like the art, and the concept. I could finally get to Bahama.

The most important thing I get is that, as long as I got what I want, I can leave bullshit work away:D
