How does your game fit the theme?
Yes, It's about not having control of what you are given and things getting increasingly unmangeeable. We took a more interesting approach by making it kind of simulator where slowly things begin to get more and more unmanageable. A lot a care and dedication to make this one happen. We only used Asset store art and freeware audio SFX and background music but all recorded vocal audio was made during the game jam.

Did your team create the art for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

No

We used pre-existing art

Man, it's so cool that you managed to have such good voice acting here. I mean, most of the lines sound near-professional! And there are just so many unique lines, it’s nutty that you guys also had the time to make the gameplay as theme-fitting as it was.

Wow this is so interesting, great job!!!!

Hey 3zizalkandari! Appreciate you playing the game!

Your game is really cool,  I like the voices.  You should keep working on it! Congrats on successfully submitting a game to the jam and I hope you learned a lot of new things.  Please check out my game when you have time :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks NeatGames! We had a blast recording the voices and bringing them together! We plan to continue working on the game and we really enjoyed the jam! And yup! we'll be checking out your game soon! Thanks again for playing!

interesting game idea and great visuals and audio, I did find it hard to know what i was meant to do and if some actions had been completed but idk if that was meant to be part of the game experience

Developer(+1)

Thanks Greg! And thanks for playing. We did decide to make the instructions a bit vague in game but as we get more feedback we are seeing quite a few people didn't get what to do. Sorry for that. We will be enhancing the game in the near future and definitely will be revisiting the "how to play" aspect.

Submitted(+1)

I didn't understand what I had to do :'( did get greatly out of control feels though!

Developer

Sorry it was a little unclear. We will definitely be revisiting how we can make the instructions more clear. Happy you felt the out of control feel in the game. We def wanted it to feel overwhelming! Thanks for playing!

Nice visuals and cool idea, but it was a bit unclear what to do, maybe a tutorial level would be a good idea?

Developer

Thanks TijmenD! We definitely went back and forth on how we wanted to explain "how to play" in the game. We ended up going with more vague instructions and hoping it would get more clear as you play. I think we are going to revisit how we can present that. Thanks for the feedback. It's helpful!

Great game! The idea is also very interesting, the visuals are nice. Hope you enjoyed this jam, keep creating games!

Developer

Thanks Darenn! Really appreciate you playing our game and thing it was interesting. We had too much fun doing the game jam and are looking forward to the next.

Really cool game! Great use of the theme. The only drawback is, as everyone said, a lack of captions/subtitles, it was hard to hear the stuff on the phone, and I ended up only opening the front door and the garage door haha. But I enjoyed it nonetheless :)

Developer

Thanks so much for playing our game. Definitely happy you enjoyed. Thanks for the feedback . We are pumped to keep working on this and our number one goal is to get subtitles in. Thanks again!

Submitted(+1)

Great entry and game! Polished, amazing audio and presentation. Couldn't open the options/settings on the web version but I would love, if there's a subtitles options. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, we're glad you had a good time! The options and settings may not work quite like you'd expect ;)

Also, we intended to add closed captioning, we even have the logic in place, but just ran out of time. We intend to add it after the jam! Thanks for playing!

For some reason, the games related to sitting in front of the computer are always so fun, and your game is solid proof of that. It turns intense so quickly; I like it! And the smart sound design just complements the overall mechanics, making the playthrough a truly captivating experience. Nicely done!

Developer(+1)

Hahaha, isn't it funny how day-to-day tasks can seem more fun virtually? Thanks so much for the feedback! We're really glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

This is the most paradoxical thing about games. There are literally popular simulators of any possible labour tasks online ahah

I actually got to 127000 points by doing everything wrong xdddddd. Until the last minutes of the game I didn't get that you were supposed to click an action then someone to do it for. I thought you just clicked the action and it was all good! This game is extremely charming and has tons of character, but I really wish there were subtitles, I genuinely couldn't understand what Javier was saying sometimes.

Developer(+1)

Haha! You are the real pro! Everyone has a strategy! Try playing again and trying to do the tasks via the screen! it gets wild! 


And we actually wanted to have captions! The system we created is setup for us but sadly with just two of us we didn't have the time to transcribe everything! Thanks for the play!

Submitted(+1)

I did it again and only got to 160000 xd. I can't handle all those people screaming at me, this game is incredible!

Developer(+1)

Even as the people who made it, it really gets wild for us too!  Ands Thanks for the glowing comment! Really kind of you!

Nice audio yeah ! Great idea, it remind me a little bit of job simulator. 

Developer

Thanks soo much! We appreciate even being compared to such an awesome Game! :-D

Developer

Thanks waterpouch! We had a blast recording it and making the crazy scenarios! haha
