I especially like the pixel art graphics and the janitor's grumbling sounds. :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sleeping takes a bit too long, and it would be nice if you could interrupt sleeping. (If you keep pressing the arrow keys while sleeping, you can actually sleepwalk, which is great, but I assume it's a bug.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>After a while the tiredness and hunger bars stopped going down, I don't know why. And then the game suddenly ended. Is it possible that the bars weren't updating?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, I enjoyed playing this game! Well done!"},{"author_name":"badlydrawnrod","author_uid":"745","time":"Sep 6, 2014 @ 8:01pm","epoch":1410033360,"text":"It was a little tricky getting the janitor to use things sometimes, but the idea is good and has amusing graphics."},{"author_name":"teamawesome","author_uid":"42370","time":"Sep 15, 2014 @ 6:46pm","epoch":1410806460,"text":"Great sounds!

You play the role of a janitor, maintaining what seems like slightly random things on adjacent planets to the one you live on.\r\n\r\nYou need money in order to buy food and if you don't get any sleep that's not good for your health either.\r\n\r\nHow much money can you make? How long can you survive?\r\n\r\nYou can play W, A, S, D or the arrow keys and use space to interact. Space does need to be pressed multiple times for some interactions, I forgot to mention this in the instructions screen. There are slightly more detailed instructions on the game's menu.\r\n\r\n\r\nMade with Game Maker Studio, I hope you enjoy! I did intend to actually have environments on the planets and little faces to show if there were lots\/few\/hardly any jobs to do on each planet but as you may have guessed I ran short of time. \r\n\r\n\r\nWill be aiming to get a web version up shortly, just I ran it at one point and it was a little screwed up.\r\n\r\nUpdated exe's with a fix for a crash when growing old and retiring.","title":"Someone's gotta do it"}
