Awesome game! I had tons of fun playing this, and I was worried that it would get repetitive and old, doing the same thing over and over again, but the platforming was pleasantly tight and the controls were solid. Seeing more jobs and more ideas coming from this game would be awesome! Definitely a lot of potential here! Thanks!

Music and graphics are very nice, reminds me of stick RPG where you progress through the various jobs.
Only crit is that each time you made a pizza or took out the trash, it could have been a new Trash can or new obstacles each time

Grand little game. It's a dead heat in style for a Commodore 64 classic called Rags to Riches. The ending here is much funnier though!
Rags to Riches had one more layer - when you were down on your luck, burglars would try to steal your pocket cash so you had to bank it. Unfortunately, that game also had a game breaking IRS agent who could wipe out your entire bank, severely decreasing the fun! But the burglar might be a nice touch. You'd duck into places to get away from him.
Visually, the graphics are certainly different than Rags to Riches, but broadly the same pixel depth or so. So I could see a Jam game with the extra time and human power bridging the gap of 30 years!
An interesting play tip for people I learned on that one, is to "over-qualify" before moving up. So it turns out, the Pizza Chef is quite irritating as a platform grind! It's much easier to churn the Bin Man all the way to the specs for the secret door.
Small Businesses are exhausting! :)

@pronomicalartist Pretty nice game, like the idea, always appreciate music. That one jump in the pizza level was a bit of a pain in the butt. For a suggestion, if you press E while the end boss's text is busy writing it should rather finish the text instantly than go to the next text.
@ryu Hey I am sorry you felt that way about the jump, I had to make it challenging without adding a lose system because I know many people wouldn't get to the ending otherwise. I added the dialog in the last 2 hours so I didn't have time to make it better. I will update it once the Jam is over :)
that was really a lot of fun -- at first i thought it was going to be a boring clicker but you really added a lot of variety -- thanks for making this
Really fun! I use construct 2 and made my game with it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/chicken-nothing kind of a quick ending, but overall it was an awesome game!
Very nice game. I really liked the concept. The only issue I had was the part where you collect the pizza parts. It became quite repetitive sadly after a bit.
Awesome game! It was a little repetitive to level up but overall very polished and well executed. Love the music and the plot twist with the boss fight at the end!

Cool game! First I was a little bit skeptical on that mix of biz sim and platformer, but the game was surprisingly fun and engaging. My 6 year old also played it and got to the end.
On the design side, I guess some more hints required to explain the player what the first job is. Maybe shake the news stand when you are passing by... The E hint is small and can be missed. Other jobs are easy to figure out once you got the idea how to make money. So the main focus should be on the first job.

I enjoyed this game! I appreciated how the jobs changed in style with each progression, I wasn't sure what to expect after the first job was just pressing the e button but I was pleasantly surprised with how it worked out. I think with a little bit more variety this could do well! Good job!
I played this on stream. Hear my thoughts here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/506930330?t=03h05m57s

Nice talk about business. I'd like to join. You know, I need to grow my shopping mall and I've heard about digital signage. Therefore, could anybody share with me some ideas of how to do that?
