How does the game fit the theme?
We interpreted the theme in a literal sense, and the parallel between your cute cat at home that you care about very much and your 9-5 while somehow being able to juggle all these stresses unfazed. Our ending also reinforces this theme.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Cat meowing assets, some utility classes for unity C#, and 3d models for the cat scene.

Love the mix of 2d for work and 3d for the house. I wasn't entirely clear on if checking the phone actually did anything in regards to keeping the cat from destroying the place. Classic typing game experience with a cat twist, what's not to like?
Nice game idea, and Art too
Fun game! The heartbeat sound and the meowing makes it very immersive! 过劳死 is too real lol
You implemented the typing game really well, and it quite fun to multi-task.
I read the description but I don't see 5 days/levels in the game. Also, just wanted to ask if there's multiple ending? I've tried to play phone whole day, just work whole day, and both lead to the same results. The boss looking and heartrate too, I'm not sure how those works. I tried playing phone in front of the boss and it does nothing, it will have greater impact if fired because of getting caught.
For what you guys did in a week, this game is really well done.
Thank you for letting us know your thoughts. The multi-level system works like this: there will be a date prompt in the lower left corner of the computer indicating which day of the workweek it is. When a day ends and you enter again, a new typing task list will appear. After a week’s work is completed, you will see a final outcome.
Played and rated! Very fun game, i think i was murdered by my cat...
Also, why do i have so many cacti?
We thought it would've been funniest if there were an excessive amount of cacti!
Already rated your game!
Just like me at work—checking on my cat while trying to get things done, lol. Nice and simple game! The audio fits well, and I love watching the cat jump around the house. 😂
P.S. This is my clone account since my main account (used to submit the game) is restricted from commenting. You guys can check out my game here, thanks😊: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-13/rate/3349422
You got me, I’m the same way at work. Thank you for letting us know how you feel.
Cool game! Very unique mechanics and nice art! I was very original how the words you were typing were telling a story!
You got it. Thank you for letting us know how you feel.
Cool but the cat doesn't destroy anything and nothing appears to happen when my heartrate gets high from not working
Yeah, we have 5 levels, which correspond to 5 days in the game. After these 5 days, there will be a true ending that explains everything. This is also mentioned in the working text. Thank you for letting us know how you feel.
The concept is really cool, and the visuals match really well with the game. Nice job!
This is a really cute game. I like the cat cams visuals!
My boss is broken
Hey Funky, could you give us some insight on what happened? Thanks for playing
Cool!
Thank you!! :)
I got stuck on mentorship I've. But otherwise it was pretty cool.
That was one of those bugs where, I wasn't sure if it was a bug or a design feature, so I went through a few days typing other stuff instead of what I was supposed to, but then I gave up.
Thanks for letting us know!
Hi, it's a chill game to play but there is a bug when we need to write : and mentorship I've
Thanks for letting us know!
Glad to help! Oh, and if you ever feel like trying my game, let me know what you think! If you spot any issues, I'd really appreciate the feedback too. 😊
Fun typing game! We both had keyboard game ideas :) Very engaging and simple gameplay, though idk what i did wrong here though. Perhaps im missing something?
Thanks for letting us know!
