This is the game about the management of the company team. We can make different decisions, play mini-games that visualize the situation in the company and most important, make wise choices about our company. The more companies we have, the more difficult it is to manage them. Your goal is to get the highest score possible. We lose if one of our 4 stripes drops to zero. That is why we avoid decrease in people, cash, creativity and contentment.

We will find in the game :

4 minigames :ballotboxwith_check:

Over 39 special events :ballotboxwith_check:

If you can please send me name of your windows version.

I think I know the problem. The one version of win 10 just show the black screen in full screen mode. Well I added one more correction and now it can work. If you can please check it one more time. :)

I like the "collection of minigames" structure! I didn't really understand what to click on in between minigames, but I think part of that may have been my monitor is kind of bad and the game launched at a tiny resolution, so I couldn't read the text very well. Overall good job!

As a fellow game maker programmer, props! :)

I like how you integrated actual pictures in the game hahahahaha it adds personality.

I think there is a bug with the buttons key pressing. When I was writing a name containing the letter 'f', as soon as I hit that, the game went automatically in full screen. I'm not sure if you really wanted that sort of behavior hahahaha

Otherwise the game is pretty unique, there's very few company games that I've seen so far. Good job! :)

I do not like that there is no option to close the or at least i didnt find it and that you have to install the game. Music was ok but didnt support the mood of having a business. Overall i found it really confusing to find out what to do. There are a shitload of things on the screen, its not really overseeable because of the troubled background.
I managed to hire some guy and i liked the Picture off the mafia boss.

Could you also provide a download link that are is just the files and not an installer? (installers are a bit messier to clean up)

Pretty cool concept and awesome music. The game was a bit confusing at first. Knowing what is actually clickable and how the different actions affect your scores would be really helpful.
The minigames are a nice touch and are very innovative for a manager game.
Keep it up!

I have no idea of what was going on! The typing parts didn't seem to work and eventually I lost.
But the photos were nice! It was the most unique game I've played so far on this LD, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it. But it was actually funny on some moments.

Cool one! Nice music. I agree with some other people saying it was a bit confusing at first though. Keep up the good work!

Interesting idea. It seems a bit confusing at first but once you understand it can be fun trying to balance all the aspects of your company. The unique events are neat. The mini-games are also cool, but I think they could fit into the company theme more. The interface and art is really the main failing as it's very confusing at first and sometimes hard to read. Using real life photos is an interesting choice, though.

Congrats for the work, I mean to bring so much contents.

As a player I needed more instructions or to be guided at the beginning.

Nice concept! It reminds me a bit of the mobile game "Reigns", controlling different aspects of your company trying to balance all of them out. Music is also quite cool! And the minigames are a great addition!

To improve it, I believe that adding some more visual impact on what goes up and down due to the decisions would be nice!

Keep up the hard work! :)

Hi guys, it's a little bit confusing
1. on screen with big resolution it's hard to read text
2. there is no retry button, so each time i need to close the game and reopen it =(

the whole concept is clear, but gameplay - it's too frustrating =(

I really had trouble with this game, I enjoyed the mini games a lot (what we had to do and hoe they looked) but the game in general really confused me. I think there was too many buttons on screen at the same time.

The window size is too small and i couldn't figure how to make it bigger, it made it harder to comprend the game. The gameplay is a little bit conufusing

Haha this game was pretty funny, the tomato throwing was so random (though highly true to real life). I actually really like the feel of the game, I liked the feeling of progression even though it didn't particularly have any gameplay changes as a result....I just enjoyed seeing the company title upgrade. Great concept, the different minigames certainly kept me going for a while.

Cool game and music. I like the idea but it was hard to understand what was going on in my first try. The visuals are IMO what needs more work especially the text since it was hard for me to read. The minigames are fun to play. Good game.
