I'm not sure what's going on but I spent all the money and there's a lot of dudes on screen

I had some trouble getting the apps to work but the assistant is super cute.

I came, I jumped, I died many times before realizing you can jump mid air

Super cool !!! I HAVE to know what shaders you used for this!

Pretty cool. Needs a reference to the scariest virus of them all, the terminal window that shows up for half a second and closes itself haha.

Interesting game. I think it could go one of two ways.

For a more fun game, action would work better for the fantasy game. Then its like you run around and shoot things and need to find a safe places to respond to emails. Lots of humor on the work side with fuming bosses getting impatient lol.

For a more artsy game, I think there's clear ways the real world sets you up for failure mechanically that could be used. The work could be easy but if you do it promptly, all you get is meaningless praise and more work until it's naturally too much. The fantasy game could have gatcha with a lot of duplicates and grinding mechanics that go nowhere. Maybe even money you get from work you can funnel into the game with no real benefit. What would the ending be? Not sure. Hopefully some sort of realization that without a fun game (or hobbies, dreams, passions), work is meaningless.

 Just some random thoughts. Cool idea!

So cool. Super fun once I got the hang of swapping in time.

I don't have a numpad so the numbers are pretty tricky lol

I beat it! It's kinda fun having to think twice as much ahead as you do compared to regular chess

Super cute. I really liked the CRT shader

Haha, I thought it was funny

I am the most unfair boss fight ever. Most games with summons have you dodging attacks, but I really liked the dynamic of instead baiting "heroes" into my minions instead.

Super cute! Very filled out. I ended up getting a string of recipes with ingredients I didn't have though.

Has potential to be very artsy. I ended up roleplaying as a broken printer. Can't be a cog in the system if all you do is grind your teeth

super cute clean game!

Setup is pretty cool! I couldn't figure out how to go to the next level though

Humor shines through. Fun to play. Winner for sure

Cute! I didn't get it was supposed to be mash spacebar but I figured it out

I love it. Fantastic for a first game

Seems straight forward but super hard in practice. My brain is chugging real hard to get everything in juuuuust in the right place haha.

Everybody gangster till the dirt block starts movin. Haha. I really like the idea and art. The "player" moves slow but the timing to get to place in time is still really tight. Fun to play once you pull it off though!

Holy shaders haha. I love the aesthetic.

Cute game! Jumping out of the water is so fun I wish there was a reason to do it more!

My man wheels really tried to do me dirty. I think if the monsters were more dynamic it would've done a whole other level for the horror element. The 1 bit color scheme just screams for them to crawl out from the sides of the room randomly rather than spawning in statically. I also got a bit lost since the newest area unlocked isn't necessary where the next meetup for wheels is. Other than that great game!

Got a soft spot for vector graphics. Nice work

Very concise and cute experience! A lot of people went abstract rather than literal with the theme this year so I give it a pass. Great first game!

Pretty cool. Maybe if the action indicators were closer to the character I wouldn't have to move my eyes around so much.

very cool and thematic

Fun game but got softlocked https://i.imgur.com/i5oHqah.png

Looks cool but can't figure out what's going on.

lmao

Very cool!

Download link?

this aligns well with the theme, but I got stuck in a hole and could not get out. It didn't seem possible to jump high enough to progress.

Hard to tell if what I'm doing with the orbs is helping with the date.

Cool concept, but found it hard to craft quickly enough. Tutorial should mention screen scrolls and how crafting deals with that

lmfao. You got me I laughed pretty hard.

Pretty cool. I feel like the game can be pretty picky about me pulling the bolt back too fast or not pulling the bolt down far enough

So cute!
