DAMN cool artstyle cool concept!, really cool game, your games are always so polished, great game!

Really creative concept! I felt totally immersed in the experience of being a game balance designer. I especially loved how almost everything could be customized—you can tweak the numbers to suit your own play style, which is super friendly for players who might not be as skilled. The five mini-games were also a lot of fun. Great job!

Your game works really well and has a dark humor but for some reason I was not able to play the final game.

I really like the style of this! I'm surprised I was only fired and not eaten or sacrificed to some lovecraftian horror

"You have met the minimum standards for employment." Yay! "Your family's release has been scheduled." Wait...you had my family!?  o_o lol Amazing concept! I loved how the playtesting made it so there were games within a game, so to speak. I must admit, I got a little distracted playing the mini games themselves than balancing them...xD

This was quite a lovely game, although I am far too jumpy to take the time to balance the final game. Regardless, I still had a fun time, and I like how the balancing process got progressively harder as there were more and more variable to manage. Overall, this game was phenomenally designed, the audio and graphics were great, and the idea was super well-executed.

Interesting to apply theme in jam. I really liked the idea. I wish there was player feedback after we balance the game. maybe in the future. Good :)

Very cool game, I like the presentation a lot!

Interesting use of the theme, and the WarioWare-esque minigames were rather fun!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I love your take on the theme! Each of the minigames feels like it has it's own identity and I love the slight meta commentary on QA testing. Good work!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed!

I really enjoyed playing this game. My one piece of feedback would be to force the player to play the games to get a grade as it is very easy to skip over and do fairly well. Overall it was fun completing minigames and being scored as to how well I did!

Thank you for the feedback.

Really neat idea, I enjoyed playing it!

Thank you.

I really appreciate all the work you've put into all these different minigames. I like how you can adjust the difficulty to your liking. The only minor complaint I have is that the first minigame doesn't account for the keyboard layout, so I kept pressing the wrong letters (I'm on an AZERTY layout).

Developer

Hey, thank you for playing.

Apologies for the lack of acessiblity, I will try to implement some more accesiblity features post jam.

Wow, really polished entry and a very nice take on the theme. Making five games in one is also impressive. The balancing console does get in the way quite a bit for some games, so it would have been nice to be able to hide it, but overall a very amazing entry.

Developer

Thank you for playing, there is a 'X' button on top right of the console to hide it. I will try to add some tips etc to the game to make it easier to understand.

I like how polished the game felt, that was probably the most impressive part for me. The mechanic of balancing each game mode yourself was very unique.
