A nice twist on the word 'summoning'. I felt like an IT support who wished to be able to run faster! :laughing:

Great jam game, a bit forced on the theme but that might be me being petty because Dave fired me in the middle of an update. Cool music, but a mute button would be nice depending on when and where you play the game.
Haha this actually pretty fun. Felt the pressure of needing to complete everything before time ran out.
For a first jam i'm actually surprised at the quality. It reminds of something like Earthbound in terms of art style. The mini-games within each task was pretty cool too!
That was fun! I like these creative/funny interpretations of the theme, so much more inventive than I could come up with.
The first level took me 4 attempts before I figured out what order I wanted to do the tasks in, but the second was far easier - maybe because I understood the game better by then, but also the timer felt a little more forgiving.
A very nice game. I hate that music since the third I tried the level… so a very good choice of music since it stress me as hell. It's sometime hard to hit the walls and take orthogonal trajectory (to save time traveling between task [sic]). Impressive work in a so small range of time.
I like this sega-like graphics and AmongUs-like chores gameplay but some mini-games feel to be broken. The first time I entered computer with folders task, there was no folder on the screen and I thought long what should I do. The next time I entered a computer with folders game, there was a folder but files didn't put into it. Pressing keys mini-game also refused to accept my input. Very well done btw, good game!
Really fun entry. As a corporate software engineer the manager constantly summoning you haunts me on a deeper level. But seriously a very unique take on the summoning theme and it all comes together nicely. The minigames are fun and unique. The way the music tempo gets faster as the time runs out definitely makes things tense. Well done!
This game is hilariously realistic. I can tell someone on the team has worked in IT. The art and gameplay might not be the best but the humor is a clear 5/5 lol. Also great music choice that fits the humor perfectly.
neat game, the time limit really gave me a run for my money. Great work for a first jam!
This is a deeply funny game, and though unpolished, it shows a more thorough understanding of how to create a cohesive gameplay narrative than a lot of the jam-winning hyper-polished stuff I've seen in my years jamming. The moment I realized that nothing my managers had to say had any value at all, and I could ignore their summons completely once I had what I needed, was both deeply funny and genuinely had something to say.
All that being said, it's still a bit of a buggy and unpolished mess, but that's something that's much easier to improve at than the fundamentals that you've already shown to have mastered here. This is truly awesome. Good stuff.

P.s. the insane circus music really added to the whole thing
Cool game, the text on-screen was really funny. The fun yet tense music kept me anxious the whole time. Some of the collisions can be a bit buggy, like I couldn't move past something even though I'm not touching any walls. Your take on the theme was certainly interesting, and definitely made it stand out from lots of other games. Overall, it was a great game. Very creative!
