Very simple but effective concept. The pixel art is nice ! Unluckily no sound design and I had trouble understanding what the bed, fridge and water dispenser were for at first. Thanks for the game :thumbsup:

I tried to delay the inevitable, but obviously, I suck at that... I got fired so quickly, so many times !...
Job is inevitable. Being fired is inevitable. Nice littile game! Nice game!
Good execution of a simple idea!
To reiterate the previous commenter's points, some feedback for using the watercooler/bed/fridge, particularly sound, would add a lot to this. Also, minor but failing from neglecting thirst told me I didn't deliver enough coffee, which had me a bit confused before I figured out the watercooler/bed/fridge.
Thanks guys on the feedback so far, 100% agree on the feedback loops had plans to address this with custom death messages, missing sound does lack impact for sure, I think a tutorial or guide screen might of helped to make them clearer
Working oneself to death, classic
I think some variety could have helped, namely if the customers moved around, and maybe if there were random pickups. Still, good work!
Very stressful, would have been nice to have icons on the food/water/sleep gauges :D
Cute little game! One of the most stressful jobs ever, failure was inevitable. I gave up and simply wanted to go to bed and the bed just told me 'E'. For some strange reason I found this incredibly funny! xD
Good job making a game about a bad job!
Great game! Fun game once I figured out how to play it. Also really liked the art!
Shitty job! Selling coffee that is, not by you ;) Got to 320$. Would like to see a way to spend my cash after all my hard work! Lovely graphics and well implemented idea
lmao these four people really love standing around chugging coffee and screaming for more.
Nice idea, but the gameplay gets extremely repetitive: you just endlessly move to the coffee machine, to the visitors, and back. Couldn't figure out what the progress bars on the bottom left are, and what do the fridge & cooler do.
No, I was too slow and got fired! It captures the spirit of working in customer service perfectly. After a short time I've started to hate all customers (the left one was the worst), I've learned how to optimize my work time (if you stand in the perfect spot, you can grab two coffees at the same time!) and decided that I probably didn't really need any food, water or sleep anyway.
The game (and gameplay) is pretty self-explanatory, but it could probably use a few icons here and there to help people understand it better and at a first glance. It could probably also use a "Quit" button, so we don't have to kill the process to exit the game. ;)
The usage of the theme is very good. I think putting labels on the bars would've made it far easier to understand that they were supposed to represent water, food, and sleep. The gameplay was super basic, just running to give unhealthy amounts of coffee to people and to also take care of your needs. I feel like the needs fill up very slowly. I think that some audio cues for the people who need coffee would be nice to notify you. The game needed an exit button so that you won't have to Alt+F4 it when you're done. The graphics are pretty nice. I like the funny little story. The controls were simple and easy to understand. Overall, pretty nice entry.
Very simple but hectic game, I think you should explain what the colored bars mean because I thought it had to do with the customers wait time.
I was going to write that the music was very dull and repetitive but then I realized that it was the exact same sound that I had playing in my head all day when I worked at a fast food restaurant, so I gave you max points in audio for realism
The theme is well executed and the core feature of the game is easy to understand. There are some small things that can improve the experience of the game. The hitboxes to pickup coffee and deliver coffee seem rather small, so you have to ram into your customer to deliver the coffee. And at the coffee bar is a hitbox a bit out of place. It would also be nice to have different endings like: "you are dehydrated, remember to drink something yourself next time". It was very confusing for me that I got fired the first two times, until I recognized the shrinking bars on the left corner.
Simple but easy to follow! Was wondering if the audio is normally working because I was hearing buzzy all the time
Cool idea and nice execution! Nice pixel art too. I do not know about others who played this game, but for me sleep was going down so slow it didn't even make it to halfway down, before I lost. So maybe it is a bit too slow. Good job with the game.
Vrey simple but pretty fun! Would have liked more sound effects. Cool game!
