How does your game fit the theme?
Rather than using a normal countdown timer, we turned the countdown into a living mechanic: your boss's Patience Meter. As time passes without collecting debts, the meter drops and your boss becomes increasingly furious, creating constant pressure throughout every minigame. The countdown isn't just a number—it's your boss slowly losing patience.

cool! I really liked the different tasks! The art was cool and the audio was cool as well. Nice game overall! I wasn’t able to win the first task tho :(
