loved all the little details in this. i would love to play more days! good job!
this game was such an aesthetic vibe! really loved the 90's computer visuals :) gameplay + concept was really unique too, well done!
Really good game. The minigame and the paint made it fell like a real computer and I was actually working. Great job.
Very well-made game! It is easy to navigate, and I especially love the step-by-step learning curve! I dit not do that in my own, and the result is that players who didn't read the tuto in the description were simply lost, so well done for your great no-tuto learning! Very inspiring and a good lesson in game design!
Woaw, it's so well made. Only issue : Just who close all their window every day ???
Really loved the experience, nice work :D
I liked this one, I always wanted to be something like an air traffic control guy :)
I like the fact that everything is in game like the some of the introduction. The game is really fun to play!
Cool simulator game! I really like the idea! Playing a game where you wait for vacation while actually waiting for vacation was immersive :)
The windows look so good the Ui are looks perfect also the Idea is good.
Overall a great game
My favourite jam game so far! Really like the style and how the 90's desktop UI feels. I like the mechanic that the timer only starts when you open the flight arrow, so you'll have the opportunity to look around and familiarize yourself with the rules and available information first. The time limit itself is certainly on the lenient side, but the fact that it is present at all does put on the right amount of pressure.
Simple yet effective—I really like how you combined the elements to create this game. Polished graphics. Great job.
This is an amazing interpretation of the theme and an incredible execution too! I hoped there was more feedback on whether or not I got the approval / denial request correct but still it was quite fun to organize everything before starting "work". The grayed out checkboxes confused me at first since I didn't know how to check, say the weather or the maintance at the first level so I kinda just stumbled everywhere until I realised the colors are different. After finishing the game I read the descriptions and I'm glad you clarified it but still if I'm going in for a blind run I still found it slightly confusing. Though it is quite a minor issue.
The gameplay was actually really fun! Reminds me of Papers Please a lot, so nothing to say there, it's a great gameplay gimmick to use for this jam! For the artstyle and audio I love it, it's super immersive into the theme of your game!
Love the game a lot and great execution!
Really nice take on the theme :) The mini-games and the work related programs being in the trashcan on vacation were a very nice touch. The mini-games also included the countdown theme, it's amazing.
If you want, please check my submission out too :)
MS paint and a minigame inside of a game, complete with new music? Nice touches. Retro vibe is sharp. Well done!
Really nice job simulator! The minigames were a nice touch and I love the desktop style UI! The atmosphere is nice and relaxing yet I immediately felt like there were real life stakes if I messed up the airplane schedule lmao. Great work!
Very cool idea! Maybe putting several flights in one day would make the idea of a timer more interesting. I liked it, good job!
That was stressful lol, but really creative and fun. It was satisfying to read the documents and figure out what the job was on my own. Great work!
I feel like I'm actually sending out flights! Great sim, I loved the addition of a little paint and minigame on the PC.
Really clever way to get player reading the instructions as part of the game. Really like the concept, can see this game expanded out more.
Love the little story and the old-fashioned Windows 95-style interface! From the title and cover I assumed this would be some kind of route-arranging game, so discovering it's actually a narrative piece with word-detective gameplay was a great surprise — and the pending departure being the controller's own is a lovely touch:)
