Dude, this game is awesome! So well done, really satisfying input. Love the narrative taking place and how simple it all is. Well done! I'm at work right now trying to make ends meet and this really hit home...

We loved this! We found it almost impossible to survive more than a day and a half - maybe a slight rebalance would let the player feel more invested in the story before it ends.
At first glance it may seem that this is a simple clicker and no more. Having played a couple of minutes and enjoying the soft and pleasant graphics, I began to delve into the meaning and he made an impression on me. Simple gameplay, deep promise.
The art style and tone are amazing. I like the keymashing-to-type imput. Is the amount of time you can type for until you pass out randomized, or is there something to it? Sometimes I passed out very quickly, other times I could get through almost a whole bar of typing.
Pretty brutal, but interesting. Nice audio and visuals! Handles the theme well!
I like how falling asleep in the first scene affects the second.
In the factory scene, it is a bit hard to tell that the red/green screen is grading the object that is leaving the screen and not the one you just smashed. Once you figure it out it is fine though.
Man, this spoke to me on a very personal level.
Stretching yourself too thin to try and achieve your dreams while still attempting to make enough money to stay afloat is a brutal cycle, and I think you've captured it perfectly here.
One of the rare LD entries that I actually had a personal connection with, excellent job!
Great mood - I love that the player's not really in control of what's happening at all.. really interesting idea. Nice going
This game carries a message and this is by itself a very strong point! The game itself makes you feel miserable for the character with 0 text and all via the color palette, the animations and the sound design. This is a very well calibrated experience! Good job !
Great job! Will make you think of your day-to-day life and fits with theme perfectly. Also the graphics and sound effects are just fitting! Although small, feels really complex and simply well done.
Very nice concept and graphics—difficult to play though!
The art was great and the gameplay conveyed the monotony of this type of life well. I felt like I could keymash fast enough to continue playing as long as I wanted. It might be interesting if things got harder over time but the message would feel a bit different.
Pretty unique game, a bit like Papers Please. Though there isn't much of an endgame. I managed to figure out how to survive indefinitely; ie mash only three buttons during the typing so you don't fall a sleep and try to hit every sphere. On the other hand, maybe that is the end game, just endlessly delay the inevitable.
