I loved that everything seemed simple and the player got to push the button themselves at the beginning and then quickly the game gets out of control! I wasn't sure the difference between the bars and the smiley face. Would a long bar mean that was where the employee would best at but not always make them happy?

I really like the vibe of the game, but it felt a little too easy to me. I think it could be a lot of fun with some tweaks.

Space-Slime ContinuumSlight audio bug: when returning to the main menu, the music starts to double up on itself. Don't forget to tell the AudioSource to Stop() before you Play() it again!
But as for the gameplay itself, I thought it was a wonderful game that very quickly overwhelmed me. I did notice that putting workers where they would be happy (that is what the smiley face means, right?) didn't seem to raise the Happiness meter -- a lack of Happiness is what ended up causing an accident.
I'd love for there to be more a soundscape: a "shoomp" when workers pop out of the tube, the sounds of their balls clinking together, the whir and roar of the tube processors, alarms when a meter gets critically low -- you have a lot of potential here to really bring out the most in your mechanics.
Great job overall! Very well done!
nice game, got 9 days, I'd like an incinerator to get rid of bad workers

Spinny PlateWow this is great! I love the UI and the little tutorial robot. It is fun to check the little humans the the scale thing and then put them in the best spot!! Congrats on submitting such an awesome game to the jam~ please check out mine if you haven't :D

Black Hole DefenseReally nicely done on the aesthetics, and a solid game play loop! The spawning may have been a bit too fast though, as my screen quickly filled up with capsules. Probably would have helped if the analyzer worked a bit faster

Werewolf Game PrototypeIt seems like an interesting core of mechanics, but the fact that a bunch of balls endlessly spawns means that you can just cram a bunch of dudes down tubes

Tricky KeysDoesn't the machine stop producing workers capsules??? I guess that's how the theme was applied. The "happiness" meter is the balancing hammer.
