the game is fun and easy and love how to play system nice game :D
short and sweet! i really liked it :D juggling the jobs felt nice
Nice game, liked the mini game system !
i think this is up there with the most creative entries of the jam, the idea itself of having to juggle 3 jobs is very unique and its surprisingly balanced too, graphics are very awesome too and i loved the little burger guy. great game!
Stressful but super fun game. Probably the funnest we've played so far. Short and sweet. Beat it on 3rd try. $1000 baby!
Thanks for playing it!! I am very glad you found it fun <:
Oh, no, not the Mr. Government!
Great game, very cool visuals. Was it done using render texture or other way?
Everyone fears him...
Thanks for playing the game !! Yes you're right!! I used a downscaled render texture for the pixel art look, but it wasn't just that. For the environment I used models with a toon shader plugged with a pixel art texture and for the characters, I used PixelOver to turn the models into sprites which I then plugged to a Sprite Renderer. All this then went to the render texture.
Wow, that is harder that i thought, i wanna try that style in some future game.
Thnks for the reply!
This game’s concept is very interesting and I really enjoyed it. The art is really cute and so are the animations. Great music too. My one piece of advice is that the gameplay got a little tedious and boring. But great game for 72 hours! Keep up the good work.
EDIT: one more thing is instead of throwing the tutorial to all the mini games with text all in your face, the tutorial for each mini game should show when you play that game.
I am very glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for the feedback. For the tutorials I agree with you. If I had more time, I, for sure, would have done it like that
Very cool! Love the art and sound direction that you went with for the game!
Thanks for playing the game!!I am glad you liked it
That was really cute! It got surprisingly difficult over time haha. I do wish there was somewhat of a better tutorial maybe for each of the three minigames rather than just throwing you into them, but I still really liked it!
Well done! It was fun!
I am really glad you liked it!! I agree with what you said. The tutorials themselves were a last minute addition, so if I had more time, I would've definitely done it like that
