I think the art style in this game is fantastic. You should be very proud.

cutscenes...
welldone very welldone...
awesome graphics
funny funky physics
it has it all
i couldnt really play it thou it was all chaos lol :sweat_smile:
Nice game! Great gameplay, art and sound, really well executed. "This is fine" doggy is my favorite =)
Loved everything in the game! I can't believe how much you put into it that quickly. All the chaos unfolding was hilarious :)
It's a good entry, clear to play, very good graphics. I liked the meme reference 🔥
OMG this is such hillarious game, this unexpected transition from calm music, easter egg with "this is fine meme", great models and everything else make this game so much fun. 10/10 I really enjoyed it
This is spectacular! Wasn't prepared for heavy metal hell to suddenly break loose. :D I especially love how someone's always casually crashing through the window in the final "You're fired" scene.
Very polished and funny, congratulations! :)
Nice compleat game!
When the heavy metal music kicked in I understood that I really like all that chaos. Dynamic, with pretty graphics and simple, but not bad at all core gameplay.
Wow, such an increbile amount going on for a only a few days work! Loveable characters and very nice environment design. The physics, references and comedy made it all that more enjoyable! Excellent entry! thsiisfine.PNG
¡¡¡Me gusta este juego!!! No quiero trabajar en la oficina :), pero es perfecto para jugar. Mi parte favorita es la animación del personaje mientras agita sus manos en el aire mientras trabaja :)
Awesome !!! I am amased that you could do something like this in 3 days ! The art is really nice, you have neat intro/menu. The gameplay is fun. I really like the transition to metal XD. Great entry.
I really enjoyed playing this game! Incredible job
Haha, great simulator of the office life! Btw, I was confused by the guy who wanted papers with diagrams. I found same papers on the table, but couldn't grab them. Only later I have found the same papers on the printer, and then it worked. Probably would be good to use different texture for decorations. All in all, great game! I have enjoyed playing it!
Nice funny game ! I loved the panic mode :wink:
Super chaotic and fun. Good graphics and memes. What else do you want? :D
Cool game, just like a normal day at work, putting out fires! Nice graphics in such short time!
This game was so chaotic. It was pretty fun and having the dog meme in there was a nice touch since quite literally everything that could go wrong went wrong lol
Very good entry, impressive. It's chaotic and funny. In a short amount of time a lot of memorable things happened. Heavy metal rave starting and two employees blocking my way out of a cubicle, people running through the glass to the bosses room while I'm getting fired, Guy running away from me while complaining about wanting a water while I'm trying to catch him carrying cup of water.
I really had my fun, and i will play it more when i'll have the time. This game start peacefuly then go to absolute insanity madness. Funniest game played for now, very good job.
The amount of work put into this game is impressive. The animations and humor are great, physics is really fun, the chaos is perfect. Not much to say, it's rare to see gamejam games with such a big scope be as good. Great work and thank you for your game!
Really fun game, I like it ! It just lacks a score at the end to compare with friends and try to do better ^^
oh i was impressed the first time it turned hell ...
A lot of work for a short amount of time, really impressive. Love the metal kicking in when the chaos starts.
This is one crazy entry! Really impressive graphics! Not only the quality but also the amount of different assets is insane. Definitely wasn't prepared for metal hell on my first day in the office lol. Heavily reminded me of "Aggretsuko", even though I never watched it (actually had to search the name on the internet). I'm not sure if it's even possible to survive the first day or if you will eventually lose on purpose, playing with the players mind. There is no winning on your first day at work ;)
I have no idea how you all did this in 3 days but it's just :ok_hand: so so so good. Easily the best game I've played so far in the jam, this deserved top 10 imo!
This is super entertaining, hilarious, great art, and i loved the combination of cute animal co-workers and death metal xD
I have to admit, I clicked on your game because of the meme dog. It did not disappoint! This was pure chaos and I laughed when the rock music started as everyone ran around panicking while still asking for chips and coffee. Cute style and overall neat, well polished game!
It's hilarious! Amazing how you've done it for 3 days! Lo-fi to death metal swithc made me laugh))) Good job!
Is this Facebook office on Monday?
@pikario Nice idea, we'll do it on the postjam version
My dream job, come in to work at 8, and send the office into chaos and the company into financial ruin all to a metal soundtrack by lunchtime.
I am so lost, but not in a bad way. It's just all fine and dandy and then the alarms go off and everyone is running around flailing their arms. I love the chaos.
Amazing I wish the chaotic part was even more crazy lol. The sudden metal is so good!
This is so chaotic, I loved it, especially the "I am fine" meme in it. It's a bit unclear what to do in the beginning (intentional? I guess that's what a intern should feel), my suggestion is to highlight the interactable objects.
That is an amazing entry, polished to the point that it looks like a full game, amazing job!
This was so much fun! I really enjoyed it good job!
Awesome entry, I love the graphics, the gameplay is really fun, it gets really chaotic and hard when the company is about to crash and everyone is moving around waiting for their coffee. Like in real life everyone drinks too much coffee and you have to make a lot of forth and back to serve them. The "character creation" is a nice addition too, great job !
Best LD entry I've seen in a while! There's so much I love about it so I just have to make a list of thoughts I had while playing, please skip this if you don't want to be spoiled:
- Character selection and settings were a super neat addition even though not required for the game - All the characters and environment art are super cute - I really like the fire spreading from the unmanaged broken computers - The "health" chart display in the wall is super smart, it's very clear and fits the world perfectly - Oh my god the consumable items (water, coffee, snacks) have the ICON IN THE WORLD at the correct location, that is such a good design idea! - ... and what is that mallard statue on the floor below, I love it :D
The only improvement I could think is that the chart paper is not only located at the copiers like with the other icons, so I was trying to pick up papers from the tables causing a metal mayhem :D All in all 5/5 job, had a blast!
Splendid in 3 days.
Super cute but my god so stressful :'D I am clearly not suited for the hectic office life but this is a really fun game nonetheless! Character selection was a really nice touch too. Great job!
Visuals are super cool, that's amazing how much you've managed modeled on this short time.
I shall say that the pig boss isn't really fair, I'm pretty sure I was the only one WORKING at the office but still he has fired me.
Really funny and enjoyable - I played through it twice, not sure if there's a way to not get fired ?
Haha not really sure there is a winning condition here, but I am a fan of metalcore, so the game got better when the music hit! Fun stuff, great work
@vlandemart All the work is for the novice, the others are veterans and they do nothing xD
@spawnie @ollieoa You have to resist to lunch time at 13:00. It's difficult but possible.
Great entry, it is fun to see a take on the theme where the situation is literally so instable, when you miss a task it can all snowball into pure MAYHEM... Hey, it's more than fine, this is great ^-^
Everything comes together nicely, well done !
Thank you for making this game.
Divertido y caótico juego! No me lo esperaba cuando ha empezado a sonar metal en medio de la partida xD Great work!
@haise Gracias!! La verdad es que nos ha quedado graciosete al final
Really fun game! It's uncanny how similar it is to our entry, so of course I loved it. Loved the "this is fine" dog meme. Super fun and well polished. Great job!
Wow i did'nt expected this was a jam game! Nice 3D, actually great 3D. I like the chaos, the heavy metal drops took me off guard, i liked so much. Maybe some style on the UI could catch more attention and help to understand the game faster, but is just a tiny detail in the overall. Great job guys.
Damn how did you guys make this gem in such a short amound of time?! It great! Love the gameplay, graphics and the metal music just cracked me up hahaha! I did not win yet though ^^"
This is an amazing game. Especially liked the style. Good job!
Great graphics and mechanics. loved the idead of displaying the player's progress / failure as a chart all over the office! :D Keep up the good work!
great work! very nice graphics , a bit too hard for me even when i felt i did alright i got fired xD good job!
i loved the idea of the game, it was very original
Very high quality, nice work!
Really heavy Aggretsuko vibes coming from this, I can't believe you managed to make this in a weekend. It's so polished and the models are fantastic
I was the only one focused worker in this hell office and pig boss fired me :coffee: Great work! 3 Days 3 Ninja
Awesome art style, really congratulations to the artist! you got a follower on artstation :D
Great art and fun game! I did a nice job on my second try. The only thing I didn't know how to do going in completely blind was get the people their documents. I also had some times where I was stuck in a corner by an NPC and couldn't push them away, so I just had to wait for them to move. I also had one push my character on top of on of the tall office plants, which I was able to just walk off of thankfully.
Extremely polished, the humour in this game is great!
This is hilarious. I wish it was a little clearer how to do certain things, like the people who need the papers with graphs on them...I have no idea how to provide that. Otherwise this is an absolute riot to play!
That "It's fine" meme lmao, really great art and funny scenes!
This game is a proper example for chaos in office. I got blocked by two characters and couldnt move left or right. maybe it is a bug. I loved the graphics in the game. It is very well designed. Great work.
This is an incredible entry. So much going on. Not really sure I found out how to play, but I had fun with all the chaos. You accomplished so much here in a short amount of time with both graphic and mechanics. Very well done.
Wow this is one of my favorites : it is super polished, the music is so fine and beatiful (and then it changes lol :joy: ) and there are so many small gimmicks..did you really designed all this stuff in 3 days ? i mean this is really incredible.
haha i think i only succeeded in lighting the place on fire, but i loved it.
@poovi we like the npcs blocking you because generate stress to the player
Awazing. I've really enjoyed that moment when the chaos starts and everything's on fire and everyone's running and the heavy music playing hahah! Good job, guys! I'll definitely play this again :)
Literally the embodiment of Monday. Really polished and silly, good work!
Damn crazy game. Really feel like I was in my office, NGL. The mood is incredibly realistic, hahaha WoW. Not much to say honestly, Graphics is masterpiece and everything seem to be perfect. WoW.
Love the characters and concept. Really polished and funny. Nicely done!
omg this is awesome ! great work :o
I love it. Great choice for the panic song
Awesome game, great music choice, had an animal crossing mood at the beginning, very well done
Would love to see what gains the most points and what my goal is to not get fired
Да-да, совсем как мой обычный день в офисе. Только придешь - и тут же все горит. Одному это сделай, другому то. Ух.
A totally accurate game development simulator. The game is hilarious and cohesive. I love everything in it, notably, visuals.
Este juego e s increíble realmente♥ 10/10 el artex la fluidez, todo, disfrute jugar este juego
Typical Monday morning.
I love it. The art, the soundtrack, the **CHAOS**, every part of it is very well made!
Hey guys, thanks for submitting the game to stream! T'was a good time, here's the vod if you'd like to rewatch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1169813985
This game is amazing ! 5/5 for the audio too ! So much work done here this is impressive !
great entry, got a bit confused because left click and right click work as well. Really good graphics.
Really good entry, gets a biut chaotic but that eadds to the fun
I've heard people talk about how things would fall apart without them at the office, but I had never imagined how it'd look, so thanks for this. I especially appreciated the music when things did "get fine." :smiley:
I think the interaction area could have been a bit more generous, for getting coffee, water, etc. but other than that, I think it was a really enjoyable and well put together game.
A very fun and chaotic game!
Wow! Awesome game! I've haven't managed to keep my job (yet). But I had lots of fun playing this. The graphics are gorgeous!
Aggretsuko simulator (even the boss is Ton xD ) It's a really near production level game. I doubt you made all assets/cutscenes/animation during the Jam but it's well made and fun. Even if it's more Chaotic than Unstable in my opinion :p
I eventually stop doing things just to listen to this great song ... x)
This game is so charming and full of personality. The art style is very cute and appealling, and the amount of different assets for the environment are impressive. The sound design is also generally good, and the gameplay is fun and more relatable than most would like to admit. I think the thing that stand out to me the most, though, is the amount of charm and storytelling potential this game has based off of its mechanics. I won't forget the three dirtwads that were blokcking the way to the coffee machine, forcing me to go around the table and pushing several chairs out of the way, and I definitely won't be forgetting the heavy metal segment that resulted in the employees breaking, like, 3 different windows while I was just trying to answer the phone. Wonderful work.
Very nice visual aesthetic and the chaos is fun. I feel like theres something off with the gameflow though, I think maybe gathering each item takes a bit too long and it kills the pacing, it should feel frantic and rushed rather than waiting around annoyed for the damn copier to finish what it's doing (maybe theres another layer of humor there though...)
Maybe a cool idea to make it more frantic would be like, a quick 1-5 second minigame for each collectible, so there's something to do while you wait.
Overall very cute and silly little title, great submission.
I know, I try to get it done, or just wait until the chaos is on, enjoy the music and have hard tequila shots with the "fine guy". That's a real fun game, especially as I played it (in the office, in the real life).
Well... that puts my efforts at game dev/design to shame
Very great game you guys put together!!
@wegpast Thanks a lot! Yeah you got the Aggretsuko references xD And yes, we made everything from scratch! We only used little things that we already had like the particles, but everyhing else is made just for this jam.
Looks like a great concept for full party game. This plus split screen coop looks like good idea, maybe some phone as a controller action too. :D
I love that the characters are animals but old school style and not them furries. Quite well done in many ways. Always good to see an entry that has a living system going on with characters that have their lives. Guys running through glass even during boss cutscene is quite funny. My only complaint is it seems unwinnable no matter how hard I try, and all is over within less than five minutes (I think). Would love to be able to run around that world for longer.
My character of choice was crocodile, for what's it worth.
Top tier entry! Great visuals, fun experience!
crazy what you did in 72 hours. pretty impressive!
A fun way to get stressed out!
@kr4ft3r Thanks a lot! It's difficult to win but possible, the trick is to give the coffe to the boss when there's panic, it gives you a big boost to have time to do other things. Still, it's difficult, we had a hard time dealing with the system to try to balance the difficulty. We will adjust everything and change/add a few more things in a new version!
I waited for the longest time in the itch page thinking the game was loading because I just saw the banner. I'm an idiot. Cute game.
great job! cool game, it was better if you can last longer, a little to much unstable lol, like a lot the concept
This is very fun game! I love art style. It's impressive that you created all those assets within 3 days.
Oh no I got fired
This is fantastic! I only wish there was a HUD to let you know how you were doing, right now there's a sudden end for seemingly no reason. Something to add post-jam? Love it anyway!
@bakuchi The graphic tells you how you are going, we preffer the HUD integrated in the game
Wooooow, really cool! Love the graphics and easter eggs you have. Pretty polished game! Just great! Good job the team!
I love the cute feel to the game, but man, the coworkers are bossy and I love how, when the company stats go down low enough, it switches to heavy music and everyone panics, making it that much more difficult to regain control of the situation. Absolutely love it!
Haha so cool! Really solid game, great work!
Well well, if this isn't an Aggretsuko reference, i don't know what it is :) The game is really fun but it is sometime frustrating as some NPCs are just blocking the way so many times. Also the problems seems to appear randomly, wich means some of my playthrough were basically impossibles Overall it was pretty cool ! Nice job
Amazing game, I sometimes glitch over the building walls though.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Super funny! Real office chaos with metal music. Is it real to be so stress-resistant and don't panic?)))
"This is fine!" lol
You can play this game endlessly.
It's incredible how many character you have and the concept is great. I love the music. overall after been fire, "i'm fine". great game guys!
Pretty good and really fun ,art and music was just, just too good for me :smiley: Overall Excellent game...
100% ratings keep it up bro!!
Nice game, like the gameplay.
It's too chaotic, too unstable, too much fun. :smile:Why don't the employees go get their own water to drink
Oh it's so cool ! I just loved it ! Great art, great job ! Well done guys ! 😊 We had a similar idea but in a pixel art way.
Good work!! I like the graphics and atmosphere! Idea is cool. didn't understand the first scene with appearance cause buttons flickered randomly and I coudn't notice any changes. The game really lacks a tutorial. Playing the game without it was a little hard. I enjoyed when in game plays post-hardcore, rock music.
I see I'm not alone in thinking of Aggretsuko! I guess the music isn't original since you opted out of the audio category but still a great choice adding to the humour of this game, which was very funny 😁 The graphics are gorgeous, unfortunately a bit heavy on my computer so lagged a bit but not unplayable, and of course not something to affect your score! Gameplay was difficult, there was a lot to take care of even at the beginning before I figured out how to really get any of the stuff I needed, so maybe it should ramp up a bit more slowly? 😅 But overall I think this was a fantastic, solid entry, really well done!
Very nice and polish game! The dog meme "This is fine" was so funny and the graphics are cute and look perfect as a whole. Great asmosphere. So stressing trying to calm everyone haha
