God, what a mood of a game. Really cool music and absolutely hilarious overall. Really unique take on the theme, and super enjoyed this one :D
Hey, thanks!
What a concept this is basically what so many people have to do irl great take to make it a game XD
Yeah, pretty much
What a quirky game! Really intuitive game loop. Great reveal music at the end. Bread.
Thanks! Yeah, Oli often composes bangers
Thank you! Did my best to summon my inner TOTK trailer music for that one lol
Really enjoyed this game! Cool idea and funny dialogue! Reminds me of those 2010 stick games! :)
Ey thanks!
This game is awesome! By the way I couldn't do it (I NEEDED TO GET ALL THE THINGS)! The Dialog is hilarious and mixes so well with the art style! The back-round belongs to a true coder.
:) Thanks! I do my best.
My favorite game of the jam so far! So funny!
High praise, thanks!
Really fun game! :^)
Thank you! 8u)
I love the random hilarious encounters. The bread guy really got me lmao
Thank you! They're actually a reference to the previous game we made for GMTK 2023 that we talked about in the description!
Thank you! Yes, as Oli mentioned, the bread guy and the Orbital Mechanics request are both in reference to our GMTK2023 submission, where we succumbed to scope creep, which then inspired this game!
Just checking in after 120 jam reviews, this is still singlehandedly the funniest game I've found so far. I can't stop making terrible simulators lol
Thanks for coming back! And thank you so much for the kind words! This was my first real attempt at comedic writing, and seeing people laughing and saying how funny the game is has been so gratifying! May your simulators be goofy and plentiful!
Well hey, thanks! I played yours a few days ago and it was anything but terrible!
We made this game as a sort of punishment for ourselves for succumbing to scope creep last year
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at it again heres the vod timestamped to your game
Thank you for playing! Seeing you laugh at the stuff I wrote never failed to make me smile, especially your reaction to the “hey can i have some money” guy! If you wanted to look at the music again heres the ost
And thank you for playing!
cool idea and art style , loving it
Thanks! (even though the thanks goes to the wonderful artist Oli)
Hilarious, very meta, and enjoyed the dialogues a lot. Great entry.
Thanks!
This is a really funny and enjoyable game! The art style is great too! I don't really have any complaints - only that the game would benefit from more requests by your workers, but that's not really a problem.
Thanks! Yeah, there are 50+ requests but the thing with randomness is that duplicates will show up.
In the case, might be a good idea to stop requests from showing up again until all requests have come up once?
Indeed that would be a solution, I've heard someone suggest a mechanism similar to the original Tetris where it does just that, so if we decide to continue this, It'd be on the list!
I said NO to "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..." =D Fun game
Thank YAAAAAA!
I love it and you
sort the court
shhh......
Hilarious game, no real complaints
Thanks!
Cool game!
Thanks!
