Sadly it was almost impossible to play for me because of the mouse sensitivity. Otherwise the game looked interesting

Mouse sensitivity was off the charts. Made it difficult to know where I was half the time. Otherwise cool idea. The platformer secret ending was a bit weird and out-of-theme, but I liked the idea that you could just walk away
This game was strange... but really fun! I enjoyed a lot with the music!
Wow. Quite a weird experience. But I must say that I enjoy it. Just one small issue I run to... the mouse/view speed is EXTREMELY high. Happily my mouse have DPI control button, but in the default mode... it was impossible to control it.
The music was creepy during the gameplay... but I guess it's correct due the fact that you're "punished" to rewind the tapes. And the final music was excellent.
Good work! Congratulations!
I felt so pressured when my manager happiness went below 30, it turned my mind to thinking i was playing a horror game!
Nice one! The happiness counter really worked and I felt quite some pressure, trying to rewind as fast as I can. The tutorial could have been smoother by not just writing it on the walls but show the mechanics to the player one after the other. The dropping candies that kill you were pretty annoying as I first didn't really understand what's happening for there was no feedback when touching them. But other than that it's a really nice experience!
It's a good game, the graphics are really good
the only thing I would change is the tutorial. There is too much text, and it can easily be overwhelming
awesome game you deserve my rating
Some points i noticed
- controls were super smoothed may be a little hard .....
- instructions were good may be a video showing how to play ? would be nice
- Picking up the VCR was a problem i had to hit my mouse with hammer literally
- I found the key but did not know how to do it !!
Nice game! I feel like some parts could be polished a bit, but a pretty cool idea and execution!
I like the gameplay a lot and the idea is cool, but it all felt a bit rough and unfinished. Great job for such a short time though!
Unique game! I feel the sensitivity is a little high and gave me a bit of a headache but i love the quirky music and almost low poly graphics! Enjoyed it!
It was a fun experience but after playing for a while, it was hurting my eyes and the mouse sensitivity was a bit too high. I got spooked at the beginning when I dropped through the floor (good job in making me think this was a horror game) lol. Besides those two points, I thought the graphics were amazing and the mechanic was pretty cool. I was a bit confused at first, especially after seeing the key, but then I read your description hahaha. Great use of the Congrats on the jam and rated!
