The gameplay really simulated what work conversations feel like, and the audio and graphics were fantastic! Loved this game.
This was hilarious and too real. It went from "oh this is easy" to omg what am I doing very fast, really enjoyed it
great graphics, maybe i won't enjoy this game too much because i suck at memory games, you did a good job
This is great :D I really like the graphics and audio (especially the "talking" part at the beginning). I suck at memory games but I can definitely see myself playing this often! Every time when I fail I immediately want to start over just to show Mr. Boss that "No! I am not incompetent! I'll show you!"
Oh this was really good - great graphics, all too real humour. Control mechanics were fun too although they went from too slow to too complicated very fast!
The game was great. I like the mechanics with the coping mechanism. Shame I have the memory of a 3 year old and cant get past a few colours. Think theres a test for that which classes me as a monkey haha. great entry
So at first I thought, "oh it's Simon Says" but then it changed things up very quick! Cool concept and great use of the theme. Very fun and the "intrusive thoughts" were hilarious.
Oh my gosh I was laughing so hard when I got to the part with the sticky notes! Great job!
Very nice drawing and an interesting concept! Yeah, not crying at work is really hard task... I like the implementation and the circumstances that prevent me from focusing on repeating phrases! Great job, keep up the good work! P.S. I would like to see arrow controls or WASD
This game just has an amazing polish and feel to it. Reminds me of an old flash game on cool math games. Artwork is great. My only suggestions(as tiny as they are) would be to hide the tear bar behind the tube so it looks better and implement a fast forward function or just a faster mode for the simon says aspect. I have the first few memorized, eventually it just becomes tedious. Overall, excellent work!
uhahuahauuhahua this was SUPER SUPER SUPER good. Art, humor, gameplay and specially the unique twist on the theme. great!
Really nice art. I enjoyed the gameplay! Feels like those old games you'd just randomly stumble upon on flash sites that you could just spend hours on. Solid entry.
Definitely one of my favorite looking games so far! Love how you combine a handful of simple mechanics to make a game that becomes quite challenging as you progress. I hope you have a nice day at work.
Loved everything about this game. The art style is unique, the humour is great, the audio makes you feel like you're in an office. The only thing I'd want is more gameplay, just because it was that fun.
I really enjoyed the game! At first I thought it would be super easy, but the distractions work really well. I especially like/dreaded the invasive thoughts. I also liked the thumbs up as it add a bit of variety in the otherwise repetitve simon.
The game is super beautiful with clean visuals and it looks very "professional"!
This has to be my favourite iteration on Simon-Says :D Amazing artstyle, great ideas of additional thematically fitting gameplay obstacles, aswell and to top it off a universally understood brand of humour! Incredible job!
Really clever interpretation of the theme (and quite on point sadly) The text inside the popup windows were terrible ahah, I didn't expected a Simon in this jam and this one is really good! And the art is great, it remind me of some cool flash game! Really glad to receive a pointless "you tried" award at the end ahah Congrats!
AHH this is too real hahaha! I have to say that the artwork in this game is very on point and super creative! I love the unique style :) The gameplay is also engaging but I wish it was a little less repetitive! Great work!
Awesome job! Gameplay was really stressful, I really felt the pressure of trying to memorize the patterns while managing all the distractions! The art and audio are really well done! I liked how you unlocked more and more distractions and combinations as you advanced through the levels.
Only issue I had was It wasn't clear at first to me that I could move the yellow bar since it looks like it's part of the bar's visuals. Perhaps a slider graphic under the bar could provide more affordance there.
I really have enjoyed the art, intro cutscene and the combinations of the minigames. It really scramble my head, but i finished doing good. Interesting game! Good work!
Nice take on the theme. My browser was kind of hitchy or something, so the buttons didn't always register consistently. Sometimes they'd play the animation but not play the sound.
I hate the fact that this reminds me my actuall work.... Great idea though! I also like the art style very much.
i like the humor! and it feels so related as me at work D: nice job!
bu... tu... tu... :thumbsup:(ctraschrt)... tu... Good job! :smile: It's addicting. Great game.
Very nice entry! It was hard to balance it all but it ended up being really fun!
Was really tense, but in a good way.
Here's the VOD from when I played: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1169455753?t=1h46m53s
This game gets intense pretty fast! My heart was pounding when I very, *very* closely managed to not break out in tears in the end! This feels way too real :sweat_smile:
Awesome presentation!
