Wow, this is dark (pun intended)!
It has a very good atmosphere, and the graphics in the style I like in 3D, I do not know why, but I appreciate graphics so more than the realists. Lighting was also good, I think she gave the atmosphere to the sounds.
wow, this is a surprisingly fun game! (I'm actually still playing this while typing this review cause I wanted to see if I could get the battery all the way charged) Must say I like almost everything about it, the atmosphere, art-style and game idea! Well done mate! (Edit) This is a real button smasher, think I broke my keyboard :P
I blew it! Cute :)
Enjoyed the game. Good job. P.S. Isn't this just life? "as he works his never-ending grind to earn his meager hourly wage. There is no win condition, only money to be earned. If you fail to perform your job adequately, you will be fired."
I liked the graphic style and the small details, like the current flowing through the wires into the battery. Very chilling atmosphere, so you've gotten the mood down really well. Probably the most, ...grim Ludum Dare game I've ever played. Very, very polished game, or should I say social commentary? Good job!
really nice game! the atmosphere is dark and the game has it's own potential!
Nice, really moody. I loved the film grain effect. It was neat how you had to manage both your and the batteries energy levels.
The graphics are awesome, especially since you had so little time! I didn't bother making a character for my game since it would take so long and not look good. I wish I could do graphics like you do :) Something that I'd like to see with the game was putting the money to good use. I.E an RPG but that would take so much time x). Something that would also be nice would be seeing the company use the energy for something
I really enjoyed this one. Those text messages are hilarious. Well done! :)
This game is incredibly well produced. Everything is well polished......... Except the gameplay? I get the "metaness" of it as a commentary on society and blah, but seriously it's not a fun game. Like, I did it twice to see if there's anything else to it, but it seems like a no and well, it's not fun... Sorry, everything else is great. I guess it's "ART".
I finally find my dream job only to be fired for passing out on the floor due to over-dedication. What happens to Generator #4875 once he's "fired"? Off to recycling? This is so dark. I love it.
If you changed the hourly rate to $0, made the loss condition to be death instead of being fired and released the game on Steam under the name "Modern society" you'd get like 9000 game journos to call it a masterpiece of social commentary and an elevation in video game storytelling.
To be serious, I felt that the sound design was very atmospheric. The theme and location made me smile with just how absurd it is, giant battery and a bed in a dark corner and all.
Awesome graphics!!!
Your game is ver very good. I'm very impress. The design, the concept and sound effects looks really amazing. It's a boring a little quick and i dont understand how you lose (you might need to work on the balance) but this is minor issues. 5/5 every where !
Really cool little game, I love this kind of small easy to play no win state games, they can be really addictive. Nice work on the graphics too! Footstep sounds could be better though
Hey cool game! The graphics are fantastic. I also really liked the concept, felt like very dystopian. Like this whole guy's job is to do something that a hamster could do.
I noticed that after you get the wheel spinning, you can press both z and x at the same time, which kinda defeated the purpose IMO. In general it was hard for me to get the wheel going.
Very nice idea - I love my new job! *Collapses on the floor*
You did a really good job with the visuals and the atmosphere and everything. The game is very funny but it wasn't the most fun to play. If it was fun that would sort of take away from the message of it though so I'm a bit torn on that. Well executed nonetheless.
Very nice! The visuals are impressive. Just one complaint; on some European keyboards, pressing X and Z is somewhat challenging, because they are further apart. :slight_smile:
Very good visuals, very dark and bleak yet funny!
Great work =)
Boss comments were fun... and realistic haha I love the illumination and the mood the most, really feels bad for the guy :(
Well... that was hard, I could not get into the right rythm, so was it challening? yes. Was it good? Yes. Will I rate, yes. Good job!
All animals are equal... and thus people are hamsters. Good job.
Very good Ambiance there, I love all the sounds. Well done ! However My keyboard won't thank you ... ;)
Nice graphics, neat concept! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AUyAsiiWQQ
Love the concept - it felt like pretty much every day job I've had :P
