Love this game a lot. Fun, super cute graphics, great gameplay, innovative. Sadly, I did encounter a bug a couple of times (character got frozen/stuck to the left corner of the screen) but I did play for quite a while and it didn't spoil the fun.

Solid entry, had a lot of fun. :)

ha, this is great. Really nice use of the theme. Not much to critique, it was a little bit irritating that the time still counted down while people are talking, (specifically since you can't move,) but it's really not an issue, just could've been done better, maybe? I dunno, i think that it seemed worth bringing up is a testament to the quality of this entry more than anything else.

Really nice game! Couldn't get everything ticked of the list unfortunately :( Great graphics and clearly a lot of work has gone into this well done!!

@sarafilipa Thank you - a few people have reported getting stuck in walls and stuff, and one time one of the interactable prop just flew around the room when testing - I could never recreate them though, so I can only assume my game is haunted - thank you for checking out the game and I'm glad you enjoyed it

@jasper-hansen Thanks, that means a lot - I appreciate the feedback - I originally thought that by having the timer continue to countdown it sorta forced you to hate your co-workers haha - I dunno, you're probably right that it should pause though - thanks for trying out my game :)

@yeti-kid Thank you - I'm more so an art guy than a dev guy in my own eyes so I appreciate the critique

Wow so much content. Good job!! Great entry. Beautiful and funny.

Btw the automatic run from the rat, broke my controls and got stuck.

@sli Thanks! Seems theres a couple bugs with my hit detection which causes the character to get lodged in the ground - Hitting R does restart the game if this ever happens, but obviously it's not ideal...Maybe it's in game lore- the worker just gave up haha

thanks for checking out the game :)

One of the best I've played so far! Really nicely done :)

Excellent ! I just couldn't stop it before i complete it. Great game ! love the graphisms, the music. This kind of point and click with lot of energy is just great. Thank you very much for your game

Good fun discovering how to solve the various challenges and build an optimal route!

I did notice a couple of movement issues, if you crouch in a corner you seem to get stuck and sometimes the player will just run in a direction forever. But great stuff regardless.

A simple and fun little puzzle game.

Hey man! Saw you posting on twitter about it and finally found it! Great job!

Great entry! Took me four tries, I finished all tasks with one minute remaining.

This was good fun! It makes great use of the theme; it's one of those games where it takes several tries to learn where everything is and what's required to complete each task. It took me three goes, but I managed to figure everything out in the end and finish the game.

While you said the game was small, I was impressed at how much you managed to pack into a four-minute game. The game world is large but without too much danger of getting lost, and there's plenty to do. I did notice there were a few items that served no purpose - I'm guessing they were meant to, but you ran out of time to make them do anything? It's not really a problem, if anything it added a little more flavour to the game.

The graphics and music were very good as well. I liked the not-so-subtle hints woven into the dialogue, and the way that clearing some quests provides you with the means to complete other quests. Overall, great job!

maaan.. i played like 5 times in order to complete all the tasks.. and I L O V E D I T ! The game feels really well balanced and polished.. especially for such a short time~ Even though I kinda got mad each time I failed.. (especially the fourth time I didn't finish juust 1 taaaask..) it kept me wanting to complete *ALL OF THEM*..

In the end, I am not sure whether by 'short' you meant the game or the time the player had.. but concerning the game definitely wasn't short or lacking, so i suppose you meant 'time was short'. In that case~ I thougt this parallelism was very smart~ wasn't disappointed :laughing: haha

Great DESIGN~! Keep it up! :smile:
