A fun take on the theme, great to hear all the audio you recorded, it's a really nice touch. All the callers add a really nice element to the game. I would have loved to see more of a fail state? I couldn't quiet tell if there was one or not? or even a day counter where you get paid by the sponsors but you also have fans that listen? Something like that could have made it quiet a balance between playing ads vs music etc. Overall though a great entry.

I was only able to play for 3 mins and then accidentally restarted and played for another 3 mins. Then I had to go. I'll return to this game and complete it. It definitely deserves the time. Thanks for putting the effort to design this and the voice acting is really entertaining <3

@brainoid there are multiple endings/responses to a lot of the characters.

@sharky3188 Thanks for the feedback. There's a bit of a fail state at the end depending on what you do during the week. You either get hired with a perfect score, do alright, or get a line saying "first and last paycheck is on the board."

maybe having a button to take a nap to skip time could be helpful so im not just sitting idle waiting for the next event to happen. i like the idea of the game but it shouldv been made shorter imo

@kuviman i've heard that feedback a lot. i don't think i really did the spirit of the jam since a single runthrough takes an hour and nobody has that kind of time.
