How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a corporate worker at a new desk job, earning as much as you can for the company 'Perpetual Inc.'. The company requires you to bring in as much as you can, all the time. The game plays as an incremental/idle game where you go through the same routine at work over and over, unless you can break out of the loop.

If making money were so easy... cool, chill game with a creative idea and satisfying execution!
Man, i got hooked! The controls for the game feels very natural, and it put me into character very quickly. It was satisfying to multitask, and the visuals and music make it all so lively, great job!
The sound and feedback in this game ss very polished and juicy! enjoyed the experience well done everyone, keep it up!
Big fan of the presentation here. The art and audio fit perfectly and make the mundane tasks feel nice and rewarding to complete. My only, admittedly small, gripe is that the tutorial is a little wordy. But overall, y'all built a super solid game here!
It's odd how fun it can it be to do menial office tasks and even more so - optimsing its efficincy with upgrades. Great game!
Thanks for the game! I didnt quite finish it all the way, I got all the upgrade though
My biggest advice would be to not hide the upgrades in the option menu! I think a fair few people never got to see them just because they never opened that menu again after pressing start play. I liked the game play loop, everything felt responsive. I wish it would change up somewhere though, or perhaps at some point you get overwhelmed with work. At this point its a bit too realistic if you get what I mean.
I also didnt quite get the touch up document feature. In the tutorial I accidentally skipped a text and couldnt go back, I presume it was explained there.
Overall though, well done. I liked the game, and esspecially the entire presentation was nice!
Thank you so much for playing our game, as well as taking time to provide some feedback!
We agree that the UIUX could definitely use some work - once we get to polishing up a post-jam version of the game, we'll definitely think about changing up the core gameplay loop to make it less monotonous too!
Thank you once again for playing our game, we really appreciate it!
That was really fun! It reminds me of the stories of all the people automating their work with ChatGPT. I'd love to see more of it. Where the player automates everything, even aspects of their life, and then it becomes a dystopian world where you don't get to do anything because everything is delegated. Probably too dark, but a nice twist in the end nonetheless haha.
Damn- I didn't expect this game to be this fun lol. I really enjoyed mashing buttons and just trying to multitask to keep things efficient! The art style is pretty neat too! And I loved the music and sound design. Overall, the game feels really polished!
I can't believe I enjoyed a monotonous desk job... graphics, gameplay, and sound are all super refined. Very enjoyable, nice work!
Your game is incredibly fun... literally unbelievable. It's monotonous, and yet you end up absurdly wasting time optimizing your mind to do multiple things at once. I thought it would be awful, and yet I've spent several minutes of my time enjoying it. Good job!
it really fun and so many SFX in-game and it build up well.
If possible, can you please rate my game and leave a comment too?
Suprisingly fun! I got really into it... maybe I should get a desk job...
Very nicely polished for a game jam game! I love the game feel and the base loop was super fun
very well polished game! i love the integration of the loop theme, and also the crunchy sound effects and juice for each action. great job guys!
Sitting there doing nothing has never felt so good. I can't believe how enraptured I was by just keyboard mashing. Great first game, no notes
Great game!
I like how you make the simulation of real office life possible. The art is great and the music also fits the game very well. The various tasks that
canhave to be performed make the game fun as well... Well done
