My score is 1714!

Polished and cosy visual & audio design, but gameplay-wise nothing stops you from keeping the heat low forever. Nevertheless, good job!

Developer

That's true, I'm not planning on continue developing this game, but I can imagine work shifts, and performance reviews. If your performance is good, then you get promoted and get to operate more complicated machines.

This is "high risk high reward" distilled to perfection in such a short period of time, good job!

Developer

I really like the color palette! 2067 was my high score, I think perhaps a promotion is in order??

Developer(+1)

Excellent job! 

Due to the financial situation and the high amount of luxury expenses the boss has, a promotion is not possible. But don't worry, if you keep up the great performance, you may become the employee of the month.

I'll wait for the resolution problem to be fixed before voting :)

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, same here. 

I think to solve the problem you just need to edit the game on itch.io and select "Click to launch in fullscreen" in the "Embed options".

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I changed the resolution numbers and also added the fullscreen button

Can u guys check if it works for you now?

Nice! It works now
Loving the simple yet charming aesthetic.
The sounds really make me feel like I'm pushing this machine to it's limits!
I like how you can make it as easy or as difficult as you want.
loved it!
