That pretty much sums up the programmer's job :D My keyboard is on fire after the game! Good job!

zax 2017-12-04 09:42

@tomas-selmeci thx for playing

I actually quite like the dizzy effects on high pressure... Maybe I should go see a psychologist ._.

Too many things at once under three minutes, it was killing me, I liked it. So in general a good game!

zax 2017-12-04 09:52

@wiseclock thx for your comment , happy to hear that you like it :)

I both admire and congratulate you on having the time to make a trailer given the looming deadlines. Sums up life as a dev perfectly. The office decor is 100% on point though I am absolutely enraged that the water machine does not take my regular mug. Goddammit Apple.

Anyways, great work!

Looks very interesting! Unfortunately I'm on a mac so I can't try it out :(

zax 2017-12-04 12:45

@pixelome sorry about that :0

zax 2017-12-04 12:48

@peterthehe thx for your comment, I was just thinking about some way to stress the player as i can and the cup thing was one of the soulotions.

oliverlevay 2017-12-04 13:10

I'm gonna have to play this when I get home! I have a mac in school. Looks great though!

zax 2017-12-04 13:13

@oliverlevay yep take your time, and enjoy! and don't forget that your feedback and your rate will be important after trying the game XD

noethelazydev 2017-12-04 13:26

I'll try to run it through wine, it's a pity that there is no Linux build.

mess110 2017-12-04 13:33

Cool idea, never thought I would end up working in a game.

zax 2017-12-04 14:17

@mess110 Yup working in a game is not a very popular concept.

jackisaacs 2017-12-04 14:27

This game is so meta! love it.

zax 2017-12-04 14:30

@jackisaacs thx man I appreciate it

oliverlevay 2017-12-04 17:44

Cool concept! A bit confusing but I liked it.

jaloko 2017-12-05 07:41

The NES controller painting on the wall was a nice touch. I think the pizza sounded way too crunchy haha. Nice job.

zax 2017-12-05 08:37

@jaloko @oliverlevay thx for trying my game :)

sarafilipa 2017-12-05 08:47

I loooved the paintings on the wall with all the neat videogame references. Nice touch. Overall awesome game. Original concept as well. Congrats!

mattcane 2017-12-05 12:38

Oh this was cool! im not very good at it but i love the concept! :D nice job!

zax 2017-12-05 12:40

@sarafilipa @mattcane thx for trying it :)

skipyc 2017-12-05 13:41

Once you get it how the game works it's pretty neat. Original idea! You get quite stressed doing all this work. Thank god for pizza!!

zax 2017-12-05 16:55

@skipyc yup the pizza is one of the important things in the programmer life

yetman 2017-12-05 18:49

You forgot the main thing a developer when do under pressure... "Temporary" Workarounds :D Overall, this is fun and I like the music a lot. I like the vfx, especially the vfx for high pressure which feels more like vfx for drugs. Great work.

zax 2017-12-05 19:15

@yetman thx for your feedback yes the fix of the drugs was 50% of the whole idea XD

tessa 2017-12-05 20:41

Was a bit confusing at first, but when i got the hang of it, was a lot of fun! Great work!

grentacular 2017-12-05 22:36

A bit of a learning curve to it, but I had fun once I got the hang of things. Nice work!

potti 2017-12-06 09:14

All its missing is the LD mode (complete with skipping sleep and not thinking about the workarounds) :D

luther 2017-12-06 09:26

This is the kind of art i'd hang in my house! The gameplay at first was a bit confusing but got more clear after a while. When the pressure is high it's very difficult to walk around, haha!

zax 2017-12-06 10:32

@luther @pottie thanks for playing

hystaf 2017-12-06 10:51

Nice ambience. The game is hard too understand at the start but it's ok.

2017-12-06 11:03

@hystaf sorry i didn't got a time to make a full tutorial but if you played it a lot of times you will understand it :)

ben-howick 2017-12-06 19:02

Nice Game. I played for a while and it got quite repetitive but it is a good concept

hannes-rahm 2017-12-07 08:37

I didn't quite get it. Loved the swirly effect tho. Made stuff trippy :D

toccs 2017-12-07 11:43

Quite hard to understand at first but you get the hang of it. I have to say its pretty unique

Well done!

zax 2017-12-07 13:57

@toccs thx for you feedback :)

pcmaster 2017-12-08 17:53

It was a bit erratic :) I like the meshes (are they yours?), sounds were ok... and cats! :) Congrats on making this game!

szabe 2017-12-09 20:16

I read nothing of the game, so it was pretty hard at first. The concept is nice! Kinda repetitive later, I liked the clean visuals though!

zax 2017-12-09 20:21

@szabe thx for trying it :)

yishalee 2017-12-12 09:04

Quite busy work as programmer. And it perfectly lets me know how it's like to work under high pressure. Just one question, maybe it can have some incentive for me to work as hard as possible, like a salary system or something.

zax 2017-12-12 20:47

@yishalee cool idea I like it maybe I will add this kind of system later.

jecr 2017-12-23 07:23

for some reason can't play in 32 bits :(

furet 2017-12-25 23:32

Cool concept and art, and the calming ambient/bell music was good, and much needed! It took a few tries to get the rhythm down - the best I did was 1 of everything, plus 3 calls, 3 scripts, but still got an "F" grade. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do something extra to win or do better. I liked running around knocking things over, and it's funny how there's things like a toilet and giant rock just sitting out in the open! I wished I could put the cup/mug down on any surface- having to run back to the original table ate up a lot of time.

zax 2017-12-28 15:42

@furet thx for your feedback :)
