Huntsman The Balance RestorerI had to play this as it has the same title as my game. However, yours is quite a bit a different interpretation. I like the aspect that you are managing a team and need to take care of their work life balance. I really liked that your game has some funny aspects e.g., the whip :D, and I liked the sound effects and minimalist music.
The game is quite difficult. I always recommend to tune down the difficulty for jam games quite a bit. As a developer you play the game quite often when you test it and get super good. However, for us newbies who play it the first time the difficulty you experience as simple is quite high. Always make the difficulty very low so that it feels super easy for you. It will then still feel hard enough for the people who play it the first time :).
I sometimes tried to throw the people at the chairs of their desks, but then they do not go to work. I would extend the hitbox for the desks to the chairs, as it feels naturally to throw them on the chairs.
Congratulations to this cool game. I had fun playing a manager with a whip :P!

Work-Life BalanceI think the balance is pretty well done. It is little rogue like balanced and it's good for players cause you need to try again and find the best strategy to beat the game. I actually played your game, yours is hard too because I have do two things at the same time and some number puzzles really annoyed me XD. I would say the difficulty is fine for most players (I'm mostly a gamer than a dev.)
edit: typo.
Never thought I’d be saying 'work harder' unironically. Great job on the game!

ApopcalypseThis is next Schedule 1 addiction game. I really enjoyed and laughed when I had to whip my worker to calm them down.

Traveler ShiftPicking up the employees and throwing them at a desk had me laughing out loud! What a great silly idea.
