Really impressed by the visuals and the number of minigames, I wish the minigames were a bit more fun in general but regardless, very impressive. The sound design was great and I quite liked the environment + lighting

Nice concept! I enjoyed playing the differents mini-games.

The boss is creepy when he goes behind me every time i do something XD.

Good Job !

nice 3d game. Office spaces and computers. Looks like real nerd's life.

Well done, the game was quite slow but I think that that added to the feeling of working and working on the minigames, which there was an impressive amount of, and then not getting near enough money to get through the day. The minigames didn't look the best but they did their job and some looked good (mostly tetris :smirk: )

Nice! :D

Minha família morreu de fome por causa do FlapChart.

I worked hard and after 3 days my wife was hungry and I died of illness ... hahaha! very good

Nice 3D game. I really want to work like this in real life :smile: Typing words was fun. Doodle jump like things controls are weird at some point. But I really like your game. Keep it up your nice work

lots of content in this, amazing how you managed to have a working version of tetris and all these minigames ... awesome job folks!

Nice game! I had a lot of fun with it, I like how you built a bigger game out of small minigames, and I like the Papers Please management aspect at the end of the working days. I just find a bit of the minigames buggy (FlapChart killed me, I think the acceleration is a bit much), and it's really easy to get lost in the office because of the amount of empty cubicles that do nothing, I think they could be removed to make for better navigation. Overall, really good job!

Bad flappy bird clone :( Great tetris clone! Overall really engaging - kinda feels like work, but is also fun, which I think is perfect balance for what it is trying to say. I didn't realise I had to specifically buy food and medicine and stuff at the end of the day, so I thought I was doing great and getting ahead, but everybody was actually hungry and sick. Kind of like... society... hmm :thinking: hmm :thinking: hmm :upside_down:

Great stuff! The visuals and art are all very polished. I liked the office setting with the computer and it themed mini games. The bridge building game was too slow though. The brdige drawing animation is pretty slow and if you fail one bridge, you have to do it all over again. Also, the boss character followed me into the cubicle and blocked the way out... was that on purpose? ;) Luckily, after a while he went back to his desk.

Good job and the mini and the meta game(s)!

This was fantastic! I always love minigame collections in game jams and the style you kept across them was really great! Also that boss was very creepy :D

ratz 2019-05-01 15:33

Whoaa a lot of mechanics for a jam game. Good job pulling that off!

pedro137br 2019-05-01 16:41

really cool idea, but the minigames could be a little more fun

toni-re 2019-05-01 17:24

Muy buen trabajo! FlapChart ha sido todo un reto!

dimoon-ly 2019-05-01 20:00

Good job and cool idea!

castrolol 2019-05-01 21:17

@douglima @toni-re @duke The flapChart bug was fixed ;D now it is playable :D and the bridge speed was increased ;D thanks all for feedback <3

Impressive how you managed to fit so many mini-games into one game in this short amount of time. It was interesting and fun in the beginning but I died on purpose on day 9 because it didn't feel like I had any progression. But given the short time (3 days) it is impossible to include more content so good job!

hestrateja 2019-05-02 00:49

@reax Well, the idea was that you weren't paid enough to get through due to the low salary and you ended up dying early so really good jov getting to level 9!

reax 2019-05-02 01:43

@hestrateja I understand. This is a 3-day jam so no game is perfect luckily. :)

radonraph 2019-05-02 07:36

Really cool game ! Nice work with so much mini-games ! Working differents mechanics in a game jam is really hard good job !

mags 2019-05-02 08:06

Nice job! Some games were hard! :stuck_out_tongue: I like the idea but still feel like even though you're working all day you still get paid in money and it's your currency but still I liked it a lot.

carlsonandpeeters 2019-05-02 08:36

One of my favorite entries. The minigames were great, the art was solid (loved the boss character model), and the premise was really unique and clever. The humor extended to the money saving mechanics as well, which was a nice touch. Really great stuff, you should be proud! And thanks for tuning into the stream!

pusheeneiro 2019-05-02 14:26

Nice mini-game aggregator.

pixelsplash 2019-05-02 23:16

Loved the uniqueness and weirdness of this one!!! Maybe some background music could help the overall feel.

PowerPoint jump was really hard, then really easy. At first, it seemed like the bounce velocity was slightly too low to make progress — I just kept barely missing the next platform. But then I discovered that I can just cling to the wall like Spider-man, haha.

I can see this as a commentary on how some people are drowned by capitalism, privatized healthcare, and predatory loaning. From the start, it's impossible to make ends meet. You bust your ass for a boss who underpays you, your family inevitably gets sick, and your only option is to stay afloat is to reach out for a loan that you can never repay. You can't win; you just hang on for as long as you can.

I'm impressed with the variety of games included in here, and their 90s office aesthetics.

Good work.

castrolol 2019-05-03 04:24

@ransom Thaaanks dudee!!! about your commentary, you got it ;D

We try to make a criticism using the theme for that and I'm glad you liked !!!

About the wall glitch, we'll fix that spiderman way to win hahaha Thanks for the awesome feedback !!!

Nice game and combines with the other genders! :D
