This is great, Ima try and load it on my pico ;)

Woo! Pico-8! This was a lot of fun, it took me a bit to get used to what I was supposed to be doing, but once I got the hang of things I had fun piling up the papers and trying to get tasks done. I'm really impressed with the music too, I personally struggle a lot making music and sound effects in pico-8 (I didn't have the time for that this jam myself) so I always appreciate a great chiptune track! Did you upload this to splore too? I'd love to be able to continue to play this on my rgb30.

Always cool to see Pico-8 games ! Fun game, I love the music and the pixel art.

This is some stressful stuff in a cool game! Almost authentic work experience. Cute graphics, especially the little cat friend! I noticed way too late there's stats for petting the catto. Next playthroung I'm just petting the cat.

@historymaker118 Thank you! I just published a post on lexaloffle, this is my first time doing this, is that enough to end up in splore? The cartridge id is summontheintern-0

historymaker118 2024-04-15 21:49

@speedphoenix yes that should work to get it on splore. I'm definitely adding your game to my favourites list!

Great job! Especially with the medium used, very inspiring

framboisedodue 2024-04-16 13:17

It is very good but so hard haha ! Loved it though

boroboro 2024-04-16 13:23

The game is quite brutal, I barely managed to keep up... Such is life...

agentparsec 2024-04-16 13:30

Very well done, but quite difficult

ghettobastler 2024-04-16 13:38

Great interpretation of the theme! Very hard, but I like the art style and music, and the game feels really polish. Nicely done!

liu-pa-yueh 2024-04-16 17:05

This game is so humorous lmao, sympathize with all the interns. Really like the graphics.

naplz98 2024-04-16 18:16

This game is very funny, I had a hard time playing it haha, it's quite difficult, it's very good! Good job!

A very polished entry for a 72 hour game :grin: great job!

dekisenpaitm 2024-04-16 18:22

As someone seeking an internship currently this hit home 🥲

timur-bahadir 2024-04-16 18:27

Absolutely love the sprites and the unique interpretation of the theme is also really cool.

cainetinyarms 2024-04-16 19:02

Great game, but I Pico-8 games so I might be biased.

breaddysticks 2024-04-16 21:03

This game reminds me of my days as an intern :) A nice loop and a good concept and the sprites are well drawn.

josion 2024-04-16 23:02

It's impressive to see such a well-received and engaging entry, especially in a 72-hour jam. Great work bringing fun and nostalgia to the community!

piero-pbes-studio 2024-04-17 08:25

typically the kind of game I like: arcade and brutal. The interpretation of the theme is great and the whole game is very well polished. The pixel art works wonderfully and a special mention for the music and the sound environment. excellent !

kuggenhoffen 2024-04-17 08:40

Awesome game, very well polished and the music is banger! Good job!

trevor-lentz 2024-04-17 21:12

I really appreciate the chiptunes and the comments from staff. Feels like real life tech support to me XD. The artwork, sound, gameplay and music all match up very well with this on. Well done. :)

The game feels very polished the art and music it great. I had a hard time keeping up with the requests, but that seems to be by design. therefore the difficulty is very well balanced. Personally I find it often hard to balance my entries. its impressive that you have managed to find a good middle ground between hard and unfair.

prcastro 2024-04-18 01:11

Great stuff! The graphics are specially great

ashleypox 2024-04-18 02:20

This was so fun to play!!! Love the art and sound. Adding the cat was such a cute touch :)

trasevol-dog 2024-04-18 16:18

This is a really cool entry! I feel like the difficulty curve may be a little too steep, I got to day 5 and I don't really see how it'd be possible to get past day 6, or at best day 7, so that's discouraging me from giving it other tries. But it was really fun to play, the graphics work really well, the music and sfx are great, and the whole concept is very funny / relatable. Loved it, great job!!

archaeognathus 2024-04-18 22:24

Very tough, but also very fun and funny. Burned out after day 4. Guess I was not dashing enough... unlike the style of the game ;)

bloodbane 2024-04-26 07:33

I can see the idea here but too bad the intern is placed in bad spot and it's hard to get to other employees in this office room. But I'm glad I could pick papers diagonally so I could cut my run time. Still need to figure out how to pet the cat (if possible).

Thanks for the game, I loved angering n+1s. It's exactly the kind of game that tend to make me really too nervous, like Overcooked and the likes, but the humour made up for it. Excellent look and feel, and the controls are non-frustrating. Also loved the 80s vibe of the music.
