How does your game fit the theme?
When working in the tech industry, quite often everyone is working or is "counting down" toward some date, be it an MVP deadline, a soft-launch, or even the full-blown release date of a project. With this game I wanted to explore the effort (and chaos) that goes on during said countdown, across different roles.

Not really the kind of game I usually play but I must admit it is really well made and clean! The audio also worked very well with the vibe of it!!

2 Goals DownInteresting take on the theme, can't say that the Reign genre is my favorite kind of game, but the UI is very nice and clicky, and everything is intuitive.

Flux CaliberReally cool game concept! I've definitely not seen the theme handled like this before! I enjoyed it. I'm glad to read that you adjusted the win rate! :D I actually found it pretty hard, too!
And looking at the game, I think I'm glad I'm not a professional developer, haha.

Bottle Cap ChessMaybe I suck at my job but I wasn't able to get under 50 days 😭
This is really slick, great job on the UI! I feel for some cards it was unclear how either option would affect a given metric since the only indication you're given is a dot, but not the direction of change. But overall really well done, clean visuals, good music, and unique gameplay!
Hi, thanks for playing and providing feedback!
it was unclear how either option would affect a given metric since the only indication you're given is a dot, but not the direction of change
That's a good point! The idea is that a bigger dot has a bigger impact on the option, but of course it doesn't tell you which way; that's where the "Clairvoyance" skill comes into play, which tells you the exact impact of your decision ;) I'm hoping that without the skill, the text on the card itself as well as the response (when swiping left/right) gives a hint of what the impact may be without giving it away!

That's really good for the demo! Since the jam, I've improved the success rates of cards. I will agree that this game jam variant is pretty merciless, but not impossible haha. Obtaining "skills" and bringing them into your next job (run) will hopefully make it easier!
Are you my coworker? 👀 This was just missing some more crazy AI-hyped CEO "genius ideas" hehe Loved it!

2 Goals DownVery polished! I think it should say what the icons represent though (users, code quality, money, business sense?). I couldn't figure out what up or down meant on some of them.

Beat Your DebtsI must say, such a simple yet relatable concept :') yet the polish, the UI, the vfx and sfx sound are clean as hell! Nice job, congratulations!

No More Overtime!What a hidden gem. No idea why this only has one comment, maybe people don't want to play the thing they do at work all day, but that's exactly what makes it funny. Reigns for tech deadlines is a great fit, and the skill unlocks between runs are a smart touch. Also very well polished. Ten hours for this is impressive!

PRESS TO DECREMENTIncredible idea, and the artwork looks so real.
