This game has a very unique personality that I really loved as an art form. The game felt like looking at an abstract painting in a museum, hard to get it at first but once you get it, you really appreciate it. 

Also, the visual representation and audio are off the chart! Great Job!

Developer

10/10 love the aesthetics and how it ties into the theme! I would absolutely pay for a full version with multiple levels.

Developer

Don't tempt us with a good time lol

Super stylish! I think the dancing minigame broke for me or I wasn't doing it right, but I would have finished it otherwise. Great work!

Developer

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear you were having issues with the dancing minigame! If you give me some details on what issue you were experiencing, I’ll look into it and see if it’s something we can fix in a patch after the jam ends. Thank you for the kind words regardless!

The cartoony mixed with realistic style gives such a vibe. Also jumping into the car from the window is so fire.

Developer(+1)

Not as fire as the religious experience I had fighting Glungus

Really unique presentation for a project! Sound design was satisfying and crunchy and animations were quirky and visually interesting while still being easily understandable at a glance.

I really enjoyed the variety of minigames, both in gameplay mechanics and how the tasks vary in how mundane or zany they are . The choice to allow the given chores to be played in any order with a limited pool of time gave the game a nice amount of strategy without being too overwhelming for its general fast pace. I appreciated that the games had varying amounts of waiting required, giving the decision to give yourself more or less time weight. I kinda do wish that by the end I was shown or graded on how much money I had left over as an incentive to squeeze even more time out of each activity as I became more familiar with them.

A fun and unique entry, special shout out to the decision to make the main menu be a collection of different street signs

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! And I love the idea of showing you how much you had left at the end, I’ve already got some ideas for how we could maybe slip that in thematically for a post-jam update.
