the art and map is really cool and well made
i had a bug where the character would sometimes get stuck at the ladder when i finish the day
but aside from that, everything felt smooth. good job!

Thank you for playing and for the feedback.
I ran into an issue when not using anti-aliasing some tiles were way too jagged depending on the camera.
I tried implementing a pixel-perfect camera, but that made the parallax jitter, and I couldn't figure it out on time.
So I decided to use filtering on the textures, which gave this muddy look you talked about.
Awesome work for such a small team. Multiple characters to choose from, difficulty options, dialogue, great sound design and wonderful art! An excellent jam entry I enjoyed my time with.
As noted, an option to skip dialogue entirely would be great. Also, you might have to set it so the character dies upon exiting the game room. I thought I was being clever in the intro and jumped off the top of the roof on the left side and just kept falling forever I guess:
I thought the art and camera view choice was great. I know it was assets, but that still takes a lot of work. I felt like a little cog in a big machine. Just another worker. This is not game related, but itch.io page related. When you export the sprites you wanted to use for your background and header image, make sure you increase the size at full multiples, so 100, 200, 300 percent so you don't end up with the muddy, aliased edges. Because I know the game art is excellent looking, but it looks like you didn't scale it up when designing your page. Also make sure to turn on nearest-neighbor/hard edges and don't anti-alias. At least those are the steps for Photoshop, but I'm sure there are equivalents in Aseprite, Gimp or other pixel editing software.
Great work. Your team did an excellent job with this.

Thank you for playing, and the feedback!
I think a skip button right next to the dialog is a great addition, I'll put that in after the voting ends!
I'm also very glad you felt that way about the jump, that was exactly what I wanted when I set him to jump further, something along the line of adrenaline kicking in.
Thank you for playing.
The game was a little more intense but I was afraid it would be too hard for a jam game, the stress meter was more pronounced then, it's the upper left meter that represents how close to quitting you are. It increases naturally and by getting hit by the machinery.
Thank you for the feedback
