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.

Thank you! They're actually a reference to the previous game we made for GMTK 2023 that we talked about in the description!

Reply
SlingnutDeveloper110 days ago(+1)

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!

Reply
SlingnutDeveloper110 days ago(+2)

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

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.

Submitted

Reply
SlingnutDeveloper112 days ago

Thanks! Yeah, there are 50+ requests but the thing with randomness is that duplicates will show up.

Reply
SpiltMilkTeamSubmitted112 days ago

In the case, might be a good idea to stop requests from showing up again until all requests have come up once?

Reply
SlingnutDeveloper112 days ago

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!
