Nice on the sleepy mechanic! We wanted to do similar but ran out of time and had to cut it

Developer

Yeah the time was cruel with us too, I know what you mean. Thank you very much!

Thank you for playing the game!
We tried to make unique the already-seen gameplay!

Wow, it's nice! I wasted water, but I cleared it!
I think it would be better if it had BGM!

Developer

Of course, we have planned to polish and add more features after the finish of the jam.
Thank you for playing, see you tomorrow employee of the month 😎

Fun little game. I imagine that's how Homer Simpson feels.

Developer

Nice game! I wish the consequences of failing was a bit more amplified

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your feedback!

Polished game, but it lacks a good tutorial :)

Maybe I'm bad at such games but after multiple attempts I just get fired every time very soon :D

Played some similar games in this jam but the falling asleep mechanic was a nice twist, nice job.

Developer

Yeah, we knew it wasn't a super original idea but we relied on fun gameplay and the mood.
Thank you for playing the game!

That's so immersive, the commands are easy to grasp, the graphics are nice, and the theme is well represented.

I was able to succeed on the second night, even with a few naps 😁

Imagine falling asleep while working on a Phasor!

Nice idea, nice game. Did not see any real bugs. When you fall asleep the overlay sometimes keeps bottom and top open

Developer

Thanks you for have played the game!
