Too real man... too real... (this was great! Nice job!)
A beautiful sight - tasks and bugs that solve themselves! I enjoyed managing my kanban until it jammed a lot! The "onboarding" experience and slow reveal of the UI was very well done, I was gently introduced to the whole system (I knew kanban beforehand, but I don't use it intensively). The tasks and bug descriptions are nicely written with humorous take. At some point when I lost the game a big card appeared and then everything dissapeared, I was not 100% aware what happened (I tried to keep the bugs out but I assume I didn't implement enough features)
Would be great to get some kind of a meter for the "mood" of the customers.
In my browser horizontal scrollbars appear in the kanban columns, not sure if intentional (running chrome on windows)
I'm genuinely curious if this game could be used for introducing people to kanban in a nice, interactive, light-hearted way - my feel is: yes!

This game has a solid user interface and the ticket resolution is immensely satisfying. The steadily increasing demand of tickets and rapid need to grow your development team fit the theme perfectly. The ticket implementations that added extra visual information to the player were really nice, and kept the game fresh and interesting as it went along. It would have been nice to have more of them, in particular I was a little dissapointed implementing dark mode didn't give you the option to toggle it in the game. But yeah, this was a creative take on the "multi-task until you die" style of game, and it was solidly implemented. Nice work!
