Lovely graphics, Great work getting this done in 48 hours!

Awesome art style. Found it a bit hard to figure out what actions were correct at any given point in time though.

Hello. First of all - I really like the art. Great palette choice too :) The gameplay was really anxiety inducing but I think that's intentional. Theme is of course well implemented. Something that could be improved is the difficulty of the game though. I think it would be more motivating if you could last a little longer. But balancing is always hard. Especially in 48 hours :D But yeah, good job!

Really good idea, art is lovely, I think you could've given more pointers and hints for how to actually get points but overall really cool

Wow this is cool! I love the sarcastic death messages. I spent my first life eating things in my fridge, and my message was something like "You really made an impact in the world." ouch. Great artwork, and great humor!

I'm not sure if I'm just dumb or if I'm somehow bugged, but I am finding this really difficult to play. Maybe it's just a bit too fast for me? A wee bit more instructions on what to do would be super helpful. My little "bar" at the bottom of the screen runs out within 1 second of loading into the game.

notsomecats 2020-10-06 04:28

@nerdytopic oh snap you just got me to realize that the bar decrement is based on frame rate, so if you had 1000FPS then that's insta-death. Sorry about that matey, thanks for pointing it out

nerdytopic 2020-10-06 04:35

@notsomecats That TOTALLY makes sense. When I was making my game I remember the Youtube videos mentioning that being a problem. Glad you figured it out! Heh. (I love your art style by the way!)

great game! love the art !! but the game is way too hard or there is something I dont understand :/ if I try to read all the text I die way too fast

I really liked the mood on this one, great job!

I was told i had an explosive can by the IT guy and then i went home and then died after eating a lot of soggy granola bars/moldy nuggets. 11/10 exactly what its like to be a nameless drone in a office job. Great entry!^_^

Awesome styled Art Man.....Good Work...

politecoy 2020-10-08 00:01

I played it using the engine, not sure if its the proper way to play it but I really liked the mood and the sprites, amazing work!

Love the graphics, wish the "loop" idea was to spend several days to take the more profit of everything, but it is nice :smile:

kaeveris 2020-10-11 09:00

The graphics are great, I love the color palette, fits well with the game. It's quite anxiety-enducing but I think that's the idea here and yeah, I do feel sad for the guy :) I think it would help if there was a bit more time especially if you want to read all the text and emails, etc.

Oof, heavy vibes. This was really good though, you set the tone and atmosphere really well. It's cool that there's no way to actually "win", you just last until you die :( But you did a really good job setting the vibe, it came across really nicely without being like too in your face. Some audio would have been nice to add to the mood. Maybe just some droning. Computer hum at work, traffic noise in traffic etc. But really cool!

This Ludum I'm totally late on it but! Finnaly got to rating games. I love this one, it;s simple, entertaining and I love the mood. Pity that there was no music but it's still very impressive, amazing job! 5/5
