Graphics are nice and friendly. Mini games were very intuitive.

Clever. I like the idea of a collection of mini-games, although I was hoping I could get some kind of bonus for having all three tasks completed before another one was requested. In any case, nice use of the theme.

martysarc 2022-10-03 21:47

This is really good. I think adding more workers would help to increase the difficulty, as well as timers counting down with workers getting more annoyed as the time goes down.

genericparadox 2022-10-03 22:10

I quite like the idea! There is clear room to expand if you'd like with more minigames and maybe a new colleague popping up every 10 tasks or so!

chevalbancal 2022-10-03 22:12

Fun game and easy to understand, although a bit repetitive. Minimalistic and cute artstyle!

Found a bug : you can click on a password task to refresh it and then it's impossible to complete.

Pretty fun, I thought it progressed/ramped up nicely. The different minigames were all fun and felt on-theme which was great. Art style and audio was pretty cohesive too.

I love the style! I've seen lots of office themed games this jam where things go wrong, my favorite thing is how easy it controls. I wish I was better at typing. The password part reminds me of my parents :)

pennycook 2022-10-04 02:22

This is brilliant. The mini-games are surprisingly difficult given their simplicity!

I know you didn't make the music, but it's a really inspired choice. It's exactly like the sort of "relaxing" music you'd hear in an office elevator, and it somehow adds to the stress of completing all the tasks... :thinking:

@chevalbancal Thanks for telling me about the bug! I'll put an issue on Github right away, maybe I'll fix it in a post-jam update :)

cookie-chr 2022-10-04 10:11

@martysarc Adding more workers would actually make the game a bit easier, since a new job spawns every 10 seconds anyway, but workers getting angry are actually a very good idea. Thanks!

Nice mini-games collections :)

Feels like our previous entries to LD when we were making games filled with mini-games x)

It was a very intelligent take on the theme. I made it 4 minutes and 10 seconds. What it needs is a visual indication that you've moved on to a new minigame, because sometimes it's the same type and you don't even realise. It also needs more minigames. It's a great foundation, though.

thebutterapple24 2022-10-05 00:26

Oh my god stressful I LOVE IT! Lasted almost 5 mins but then I got 2 vending machines and no matter how much I mashed they couldn't be completed. Overall this was really fun!!!

jacobrutter 2022-10-05 00:30

Fun jam entry, good work. Would have liked 1 more game per coworker just for variation.

craftmuch 2022-10-05 01:20

Nice one! It's satisfying to finish a challenge and the little yelp the coworkers make cracks me up.

boudichon 2022-10-05 01:26

This game is awesome. The minigames were very creative, fitting in the overall theme and simple enough to be done in 10 seconds, I'm quite impressed. It's a strong submission

pauly3d 2022-10-05 01:27

Nice game! Really took the theme to heart, and felt properly frantic. The art style fits the game very well, and the music is a nice background to the setting. One tiny suggestion - could the cursor automatically move to the textbox when starting a password task? The extra click was annoying in a way that clashed with the intentional annoyingness of the game mechanics.

kobato-games 2022-10-05 01:28

That was a fun game. Guess I'm playing as the IT specialist considering how often I am having to give passwords. Do none of my coworkers know how to click "I forgot my password" so they can change it through their email XD. Art was simple, but it did not need to be complex and fit the game well. Good submission.

cookie-chr 2022-10-05 20:51

@pauly3d I'll see if auto-selecting the textbox is possible, thanks for the suggestion!

merlinperlin 2022-10-05 20:57

was quite funny, i would love more tasks, has the classy among us vibe and a funny implementation of the theme :) great work buddy

jamdong15 2022-10-07 08:08

Haha, this game was so charming :) Love the "Hey" sound and how it was on beat with the BG music time to time. Simple but perfect for what it was. It's a great entry; congratulations :)

Also, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game! :) Any feedback would be awesome.

spencerflem 2022-10-08 16:28

So charming and fun! I love all the little sounds effects it all fits together so well

dimesto52 2022-10-09 13:21

I came across the password mod so much that I thought for a moment that it was the only mini game. The discovery of the others was a real surprise which made me have a much better time on the next part. too bad that my ability does not allow me to be much better at these mini games

satacat 2022-10-10 21:50

cute game and smooth gameplay. was kinda easy and it'd be better if you add progression to the game (what you can't totally say about our game..) but yeah, it was good, nice entry!

cookie-chr 2022-10-10 22:04

@satacat i tried adding some progression to the minigames, but it was only possible on the Password level (the number of character in the password increases slightly) and the Vending Machine (the number of times you need to press space gets more and more). On both the files minigames, there just wasn't enough space to add any more files 😅

thomas-yanuziello 2022-10-11 01:46

I like the cover art.

amorykiet 2022-10-11 02:18

What a good game. Graphic's friendly. I like how the angry worker sounds "hey".But I think there is a trick in "find the correct file"-> when i refresh by clicking again in that worker, i can see where "yes_this.txt" is. So, maybe you need fix this.:)

sulfur-cretin 2022-10-11 20:17

Pretty fun, just needs more variety and some juice to get to it's full potential, solid game

mooobster 2022-10-12 02:40

Reminds me of work irl LAWL... never have had this much fun micromanaging. Fun game, would be awesome if more tasks were added!

cookie-chr 2022-10-12 21:03

@amorykiet Thanks for signaling, I'll put an issue on github right away!

neeko69 2022-10-14 01:41

Its a nice game, with more mini games it could be more fun and engaging. I didn't like that you can restart the current minigame if you click on the red face again. Also, the one where you need to press space bar keeps playing a sound if you keep pressing the space bar even after completed. The art is really nice! Overall its a really nice game!!

molpe 2022-10-23 20:26

Omg, passwords... Great game, simple, fun, easy to understand, not easy to master :slight_smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcamD2oYJpU
