Dont know if this is intended but i just earned 0$ pushing pencils. Apart from that a really addictive little game, i like it! I even got the 10k from Roulette - feeling lucky now :D

John hasn't seen his wife and kids in 9 months. Loan sharks show up to his house every week for money. He drink 58 coffees before coming into work drunk, high af and always packs a gun. He can rob banks, he could be a high flying gambler, he could be a top 1% fat cat executive. Instead, John sweeps, like a mfing god, and waits for his lottery numbers to come in. Johns a good man.

loved the game i'm going to come back and play this more after ludum.

Absolutely love the style of this game. Gameplay and UI are intuitive, dialogue's great. Balancing's definitely the first thing I'd look at post-compo, game pretty quickly rolled into the territory where I had more money I could ever spend, and was just spamming random work to pass the time. Didn't bother me that much though, I had a great time playing. I rate this game "lost the wife and kid, got drunk and made -6$ pushing pencils" out of ten

I have $109,056. It seems as though the inevitable will never come. I think at this point, the only way for me to lose is on purpose. I really like this game. The menus are crisp, the art is nice, and you can buy a gun from the punk who works at the gas station. What more could you ask for?

I really like this game. Executive is a bit busted though XD. This game definietly has a lot more polish than most games I've scrolled past

General feedback seems to be that the game's pretty easy to break. (maybe I should've implemented a few more stat caps) Ah well, things to consider for the future.

The wife and son get really judgmental if you start mugging people when you have $50,000.

great game really enjoyed it.

Love the art and the sarcasm of the clerk! But I agree, it's too easy to break the balance and end up with more money than you know what to do with. Would have been nice to have an ending where you pay off your debt and get your family back, but I suppose that would go against the theme of this jam.

Lost my job, my wife and child. Hmm I was wondering what the interactions with my family could be :p Great entry!

great entry! not much to say in terms of feedback, the art style and gameplay were pretty effective and were relevant to the theme 👍

I became wealthy executive, annoyed that I cannot get better job for my wife. I have no idea what would life of gambler or criminal brought me because I refuse to try it.

Great job! I love the game! Really simple yet challenging

This game.... it works, it's nice, I was super lucky so money was not the issue for me, but I accidentally sold the child when I wanted to read him a bedtime story... :sob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAy8rfH_qdc
