This was a breath of fresh air among the mostly action-platformer type games that were in my rating feed. I only wish there was a turn-based mode, the real-time gameplay felt a bit too hectic for my taste

The Juicy Party Ball

Thank you! I think it would be less interesting with a turned based, at least we the design we opt-out but we think to have a buzz button a bit similar to Loop Hero.

My God, this is so fun & funny, but definitely very hard, its hard to keep track of what's what, I think a little more "on the level" tutorial could've fix it.

Other than that, I really hope you continue on this, you already have a great foundation, pretty art style too, nice work! :)

really clever idea, I did struggle to get the hang of it at first but I think I understand now.

I'm here because of your comment on my teams game :p Indeed, fun to see other people who have interpreted the theme in the same way! Nice job with it too!

Haha, nice one. Corporate life isn't always easy, weird to be the one pulling the strings. Nice idea and good implementation, I enjoyed it!

Defying Instincts

Innovative approach on the theme. It took me a few to get the hang of it, but I appreciate the amount of content in there. The graphics are sweet!

The theme is quite unique but it felt a bit confusing at first

Is a little confusing, but it is fun to see the feed reacting to people getting fired. Perhaps having more options or buttons to tweak values around would make this more fun.

The game is a lot about finding how the game work, but yeah we kinda miss a tutorial, we will add it later!

Be careful when you put ethnicity and gender orientation into a game. Other than that the game was quite confusing at first, especially for a UI-based game you should consider putting more tutorials or hints at first so players know what to do.

Hi! Yeah, we didn't have time to put a tutorial or hints, but we will make it a bit clearer, even if a large part of the game's fun is about finding what is it about.

And yeah the game is a political game, we put ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation on purpose, we tried to make a political statement.
