I enjoyed playing this a lot! It was very relatable and made me laugh a few times :)

I liked having to balance maintaining my energy with making progress, which felt quite similar to real life. It would've been great if my energy had a more noticeable effect on the rate of progress e.g. more chance of success if energy is high. I also found that fixing bugs didn't seem to advance my progress in any noticeable way, but maybe it helped behind the scenes - not sure :(

Overall this is a awesome entry and a really good take on the theme! I took me a while to figure out the optimal strategy, and when I did it was very satisfying! :)

Super quick and easy to play, the descriptions you get after a choice were fun! Nice bit of UI animation. A+ would jam again!
