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

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.

Thanks for playing!! Yeah it seem it was a common problem, we never thought of stopping the events from repeating, and also the game needed more balancing and playtesting, thanks for the feedback.
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 !!!
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.

Thanks for playing!! Yeah there was a lot going on and we failed to create a proper tutorial, the breaker box was outside by the kitchen door, and without power neither the computers or coffee machine would work (even if the coffee interaction would keep making noises XP). So objective was to operate de breaker box for 5 seconds for the power to return, yeah kind of messy, but a great opportunity for us to learn, next time well create a proper tutorial, cheers!
