Fun game! Wish there was a way to keep track of your stats to better choose upgrades, or even give Bob some starter "classes" so he can be better at some tasks, but nicely done!

Developer

These are nice ideas if I will decide to develop it into something bigger :) Thank you for playing my game!

Really fun game.

Enjoyed the sounds and the mechanics.

Well done.

The powers up felt satisfying and scalled well.

It got very chaotic at one point. It was fun though. I do like the concept for the game. Took me maybe two tries to understand what to do. I do enjoy the power ups. The art looked good yet simple so it was effective. I was not very good and kept ding but that is a skill issue. I did struggle with the sound though, kind or irritated me but maybe it is because I do not like high pitched repeating sounds. Others said they would have prefered keyboard movements, I can get why but I think I prefer it this way. Bob is definitely an unlikely hero and does need a raise lolol.

Developer

Spoiler: he gets raise at the end :) Thank you for playing my game!

The game is very fun to play, I didn't try to get to end yet, I may give it a try again. There are more enemies, I may have missed some since I stopped only at day 7. OMG I missed the bosses. No bugs, well put together! GG
You know it already! I can appreciate the fact that sfx were everywhere, but NO: ight pitched dialogues sfx, just NO! XD

Edit: I played the full game, nice enemy variation and bosses. Very well balanced for a game jam, impressive!

Developer

I was there when you played it on stream - it was really fun watching you trying to figure out how to play! :) Sfx is fixed now! Thank you for playing the game :)

The audio was a little high pitched and loud for me, but other than that, this was really fun! I liked the twist on a survivors-like game. 

Developer

Audio was fixed! Thank you for playing my game :)

Very nicely put together. The graphic style is nice and simple but clear and well done. The gameplay was quick and easy to pick up and did make we want to play some more to see how far I could get. Another well put together game where everything works correctly. The only negative is the sound effect for the text, I had to mute the game very early as that went right through me, but an easy fix. Great job.

Developer

The chirpy sound is already fixed! Thank you for playing the game!

Well that escalated quickly! I had fun. I really liked the ease of game play with just the mouse, but I could see how people might like to use the keyboard. I liked the pixel art you did, especially the nice bald spot. A lot of fun, I could see myself playing this more if you decide to continue on with it!

Thank you for playing the game and I am happy it gave you some fun :)

Pretty nice ideas, generally played well. I think I would have preferred keyboard movement, and also maybe the first part (when the machines are nice) can potentially have some mini-puzzles so the player has more control/agency. Other than that just polish and balance and it's a real game! :) Well done and congrats on the entry!

Developer

I don't have plans to make it into real game, but will keep in mind your ideas for my future games. Thank you for playing it!

This is a fun game and a nice take on roguelikes. The difficulty ramped up really quickly and my lack of skill quickly became apparent but apart from that, great job.

Developer

I did applied some changes to smooth difficulty curve a bit. Thank you for trying my game!

Took a couple of plays to get into the swing of it but was pretty fun, would have liked to see some speed related power ups to help deal with the tasks and then avoidance later (didn't  see any in the earlier levels I played), but it did get me playing it a bunch of times.

Developer

Thank you for playing this game :)

I wish the game and game elements moved a little bit faster, a little bit more fluide. but this is a real contender for gold!!!

Interesting take on the survivors style genre, I tried to help Bob but man he walks sooooo slow!!! Bro needs to drink more coffee or energy drinks.

Developer

Indeed, office workers needs more coffee to be more productive ;) Thank you for playing this game!

Cool little game. Athough I was a bit confused on how to get better at the game cuz the first round I did very well and then I just became worse and worse at it!

Developer

It needed to be balanced a bit. I added some adjustments hoping to smooth out that curve of difficulty :) Thanks for trying it out!

Very cool idea, I didn't do very well - got overwhelmed quickly, but roguelike's aren't my strong suit, but I still like it a lot. Nice work, well done :)

Developer(+1)

Such type of games usually player must play several times until he/she learns and wins :) Thank you for trying it!
