Thanks for playing the game :D

Glad you liked the art and concept <3

xD me too

upside is more time for game jams :D

Thanks for playing the game :D

I'm glad you liked it and didn't find it unfair ^_^ Yup if I had more time I would have definitely thought of changing the attacks a bit more for the different stages !

so did you figure it out? :(((

yep I was able to start a new round very fast so it wasn't a huge problem :>

Hi I liked your game :D I like the how the music speeds up to make it more intense! I was really bad at the game but it was still enjoyable. The only complaint is that sometimes the obstacles felt kind of unfair especially the first level. I got boxed in by  5 squashing things and died :( 

Thanks for playing :D I'm glad you liked it

Btw the "apple was supposed to a bag of doritos xD I chose to make the art a bit darker and more monotone cause one of the main inspirations for this game is the concept of hikikomori which are people who are kind of depressed and don't leave their room for a long time. So the desaturated colors and depressed theme is supposed to reflect that QwQ (ik its kind of sad)

Yeah I would agree the game is kind of unforgiving for reasons you pointed it out. I wish I had implemented a setting to change difficulty because I like challenging games but I know not everyone wants to suffer lmao xD

Here are the controls if you didn't see on the itch.io page or the menu: 

Space - Dialogue

WASD - Movement

F - Pick up items

Click - Throw/Shoot item

Pizza does extra damage, Soda does splash damage, both are single use. 

There is also a video with gameplay if you need more tips :D (or watch florian's speedrun !)

I don't see many scratch entries in game jams, but they always surprise me when I do :p

Great game with cute visuals. I love minesweeper, so I liked the concept of this game :D I just wish there was less RNG :(

Very zen game :D

The graphics are cute and the music is relaxing. I like how there is still some skill needed to swim with the goldfish, but I eventually fell into a rhythm :) Great submission that fits the theme perfectly !

WOW really amazing :o 

I really like how vibrant everything is and the beginning/story is a great addition :P The gameplay is fun and satisfying! My only complaint is that it's sometimes hard to play. because my computer would freeze due to the graphics, but I think that's partially my fault xD

:( is it not working for you?

Hi! Tyty for playing the game :D

I'm glad you liked it! I think for future games I definitely need to make some sort of setting option to change keybinds because everyone seems to have their own preferences :p

The pizza and soda were definitely added to create risk and reward ! They were put on the edge of the map to incentivize the player to move around even if it meant their chance of getting hit would be higher D: The color palette was melancholic, desaturated, and sort of depressed looking imo which was the vibe I was going for!

Yeah the boss animations are kind of simple and could have definitely added more character if he turned sad everytime he got beat xD

Thanks for playing the game and I'm glad you liked it :D

I wish I added music to the boss fight T-T I just could not find anything that fitted and I never composed music myself before. If you have any tips that would be very helpful <3

xD I feel sympathy for the guy too. That job application was tough !

Thanks for playing the game :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it <3 and the meme was definitely what inspired this game :p

I wish I knew how to compose music it would have been so cool to have a boss fight soundtrack. I just wasn't able to find smth I thought was fitting. If you know anywhere to find music for games or if you know a good tutorial for making game music feel free to share ^_^

Thanks for playing the game :P
This was my first boss fight I've made so I didn't really know what type of attacks to do (I don't play many boss fight games myself lol) 

I think it thought of the circle attack pattern from very common bullet hell games. I kinda thought it would be cool if they spawned in one at a time instead of shooting it all at once and it worked out ! The other envelope attack was inspired by a game I played on cool math games xD. If you have any suggestions that would be useful for future games <3

Hi! Thanks for playing the game :D

I'm glad you liked it and the feedback you gave is really good :>

Quite a few people have mentioned the weird keybind so maybe in future games I should make it changeable in settings. Also probably make the game more forgiving/beginner friendly. A difficulty setting probably would have been the best to appeal to different skill levels :)

Also the JOB face is my favorite sprites ^_^

Thanks for playing and speedrunning :o the game :D

Yeah I definitely made the envelope hitbox pretty big (I kind of just made it the same size as the sprite without thinking about it too much) . And no healing is also probably also a big factor lol. The difficulty definitely should have been lowered or I should have given an option for the player to lower it themselves in settings. (also change keybinds in settings)

Your speedrun is amazing btw :O

Thanks for playing the game :D

Maybe I should have added different difficulty options because it sounds like quite a few people are struggling a bit to beat it. 

Glad you found it funny because that was my goal lol :p 

Yeah I think the SFX could be louder lol and maybe a more visible flashing for iframes. Glad you found it fun :D

Thanks for playing the game :D

I'm glad you liked it :>

Thanks for playing :> 

I'm glad you liked it and found it funny :p

Thanks for playing the game :D

I'm glad you found it fun and challenging ^_^

If you wanted to see the ending without beating the game I just posted a walkthrough of the game on the itch.io page :D

 I agree that the game is probably a bit difficult because not many people have beaten it so far T-T but I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Thanks for playing :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it ^_^ and yes there is an ending scene when the boss is defeated :p (after you beat the third phase T-T) I wish I tuned the difficulty a little bit so that more people can reach it lol 

Good idea ! No you're not blind there is currently no way to tell which phase of the boss you're on :( unless you pay attention to the attacks (the boss shoots more projectiles and spawns more enemies with each phase). 

Thanks for playing :> 

I'm glad you liked it ^_^ and yes there is an ending when the job is defeated (after you beat the third phase) :0

Thanks for playing :D

I'm glad you liked it and yes there is an ending ! There are three phases to the boss and if you drained the health bar one more time (which may be challenging xD) you can see the ending :p

Thank you for playing my game leaving helpful feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

The movement is polished and I really like the sort of retro crt effect you added ! I wish the music looped because I do like the music a lot (it matches the synthwave vibe of the game). 

I like how you can see the obstacles move into place for each level ! Really makes it fit the "one room" theme :D

It was a bit tricky to figure out how the game worked, but it's a really clever interpretation of one room! The visuals are cute too :D

I like the animations for doors opening and the player movement felt nice!

However. I had some issues with the restart screen, so I had to refresh the page every time. For improvement, I would suggest maybe showing the player holding the popcorn when they pick it up.

I fell into the void, but I like the fish and the sfx

A little bit confusing bit pretty fun!

Do you know any other sound effect generators other than bfxr or a sound effect library. I find bfxr to be somewhat limiting and don't have the talent to create sfx from scratch :(

Thank you for playing!  Glad it made you smile :)
