Game info:
Since we didn't explained every mechanic properly in the game ( and I don't know if I can edit the game´s description until the official rating end) I add a few tips in the comment section:
- Power Outage : Operate the breaker box outside by de kitchen door for five seconds for the power to return. ( else computers and coffee wont work )
- Annoying Roommate : Go a fix his computer for five seconds for him to go back to his room ( else you wont get any progress from working ).
- Full Bladder: Go pee or you wont get any progress from working.
- Angry girlfriend: She just makes you lose time if she catches you.
Hmm I can send you a build with the lowest quality and no AA if you still want to play it, https://we.tl/t-GjFIAXnQdf thanks a lot for your time, if it keeps crashing don't worry, cheers!!
This was great. Between the flying furniture, my annoying roommate tickling me while I tried to fix his computer, the constant hopelessness of having to pee but that taking all my energy, and then the girlfriend coming in and making a ruckus -- I gave up halfway through and fell asleep in a closet, and I love that story, even if it was a, "bad ending." Good work.
Wasn't quite sure how to fill the blue bar at first, but was definitenly an intersting game once I figured that out! Good job!
Good Game with great graphics sound and fun gameplay.. I actually wanted to keep playing but more games must be rated.
I think the game concept is nice, but the execution lacked a bit, mainly the balance was a bit off. The circuit broke a bit too often and most actions consumed a bit too much stamina/coffee didnt provide enough stamina to keep going. Also, the doors should be 2-way to prevent the player from getting blocked by a door
Was tough for the first few tries but managed to complete it!
At first for some reason I didn't realize the power outage also affected the coffee maker, haha. Probably because of the coffee still making noise. But I quickly realized how it works.
The girlfriend at one point didn't come even though the notification came to screen of her coming. I suspect it was because the path in which she initially comes was blocked by a lot of chairs and such :D.
Great concept, fun and visually pleasing, it's easy to see stuff.
Whoa you might be the first to get it thru congrats!! Yeah we thought of deactivating the coffee maker sound way to late and there's a few bugs we need to fix , and the game overall might be to difficult, or requires to much replay, after the jam well upload a refined version but we´re really glad you like it.
No wonder the girlfriend is angry when all you do is work and fix your roomies problems so you can work more .. :D
Seen a few teams go for this idea but your's in the best implemented I've seen. Definitely felt like I was managing resources and that I was having an impact, if somewhat slow impact due to the seven power surges :D
She literally saw me hide in the closet and just left in disgust. Just like real life.
Solid game and a great idea, not sure if its a bug or just didn't understand but the game ended twice before the red bar was even at 30%. Also girlfriend broke in while taking a pee and i levitated into the ceiling like a horror film. Once again she left in disgust.
Once again solid game hope you work on it further.
Hahaha yeah we were messing with de colliders and rigid bodies but the girlfriend just keep tossing us around, in the end we just left it as a "feature" XP. The game also ends if you round either out of time or out of stamina, could be the case or a bug, once the game jam ends well update a polished version, Thanks a lot for playing !!!
It's a cool take but felt stretched out in regards to how long it takes to complete the main goal vs the frequency of the interruptions - had the 'roommate's computer breaking' event about 4 times in a row with only a few seconds in between them and that made me give up on finishing the run. It's a funny concept though - cheers!

Absolutely hilarious. If you don't get a cookie or a gold star or something for absolutely nailing the theme, it will be a total shame! Great work! :-)
