This game looks really fun! Please make a mac version :)

kbf123 2018-12-03 03:33

@james-leib Unfortunately Processing doesn't allow me to export to Mac. Trust me, if I were able to, I would. Sorry. :/

That help window from start screen would be useful later on so it would be a good idea to make it available from the main game view. Also, that resting mechanic doesn't feel like its doing anything maybe everything needs some rebalancing so actions have more noticeable effects. Graphics have a consistent style so it looks nice. Is there some mechanic that allows me to do some work it looks like that on end screen should I tap something?

james-leib 2018-12-03 03:49

ah okay :/

It felt slow. I liked the idea, though. Also, really loved the bonus page <3

@xesenix True, I probably should've made it pop up if the player hit TAB or something... Resting makes them recover stress faste, and clicking the work button adds to the progress bar. It's not very fast though, I wanted the work to be distributed among all the staff

@ravarion Yeah, I toyed around with game speed. At first each day was 2 minutes long, but I shortened it down to 1. Still, it can feel a bit long.

I really like the art style that you went with, I don't know why but it reminds me of the old cyanide and happiness comics. I also like the bonus screen. One problem that I had was that some of the days felt like they were too long, but I don't know if that's just because there was no music.

I could only get the stress to go down after they quit, even when I would make them not work at all, but it was still fun to try and optimize with this set of rules to win! I love the cute and bouncy art!

I love the art style and managing the workers was a lot of fun. I had a jam overworking Dana. The bonuses make it also fun to replay. My only criticism is maybe making a better transitions between the days so I have a better sense of the week passing; it took me a while before I realized several days has passed.

@andrew-garcia You may have been playing an outdated version. I noticed the stress issue a bit late, but it should be fixed now. But thanks for the feedback!

Could not resize the app window so was not able to try

Really nice entry! Simple in terms of concept, but really fun when actually playing it, trying to minmax all the workers. The bonuses are also a gread addition, but I think it is quite long to reach the end to try to unlock all different combinations. The art is really nice and fits the theme of the game. Good job overall!

kbf123 2018-12-03 14:03

@binarylynx Oof, sorry to hear it

@fullmontis Heh, don't bother trying for them. It was just an idea that never came to fruition.

kromeboy 2018-12-03 14:48

Love the art style but the gameplay is kind of repetitive and probably a little bit to long

potatuetata 2018-12-03 15:59

A fun little game, but its sad that none of the bonuses are implementet :/

rolly 2018-12-03 17:07

I needed a second try to make it, because I didn't understand that I could actually work! Great game, great graphics !

myfriendtames 2018-12-04 02:09

Very fun game, and I love the drawings!

It game reminds me a lot of flash games I played when I was a child :smile:

Good job! :v:

I'm played three times,It takes high pressure from all the staff to get high marks.Dana is the most sacrifice Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)

The game screen height is bigger then my computer screen and it doesn't adjust to fit. Then there are some stuff on the bottom of the game screen I can't see like the progress bar, which makes the game impossible to me. Anyway, yeah, it would be great to have Retsuko in a game like this haha. RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

Pretty cool idea, really nice graphics!
