Sleepless by NickNarian

[raw]
made by NickNarian for LD 40 (JAM)

There is a family of freelancers named Carl, Carry and their pug Frank. They work hard every day (sometimes even on weekends) and they eventually have problems with sleeping. Well, how to fall asleep if you constantly thinking about tasks and deadlines, right? Sleeping pills help but not for long. Help them fall asleep, or call 911 trying.

So, you have a sleep scale at the top of the screen, and the number of points that is constantly decreasing (karma, huh?). At the bottom there are pills, clicking on them will make the current freelancer fall asleep for a period of time. Each pill has its own cooldown time (the stronger it is, the longer it takes). Your task is to give various sleeping pills to our freelancers, get into the gold zone and put them to sleep. Be careful! If they take too many, scale will fall into the red zone and cause an overdose, which will end the game. Those who put to bed the biggest number of freelancers wins. Good luck!

And who the hell is doing vertical screen in 2017? Yeah, my fault, you will need to scale your browser window. At least until I fugure out how to properly resize the container without breaking the game :)

Anyway, thanks for playing!

The idea is really sweet and the graphics are neat :3
I found it very difficult to understand what to do in the first moment, but that's my fault, because I didn't read your explanation! You should overthink the size of the game, because it's too big for the PC monitor version. Maybe it's working better for a tablet.

Really nice graphics and fun to play. The game seems a bit too easy: I didn't lose and got a bit tired of it after 20 levels or so (maybe this is the goal of the game ^^)

Graphically very very nice. Music and sound effects also very good. The gameplay is a bit lacking but fits the theme well. An interesting concept/topic that I haven't seen used.

Really cool graphics, the aspect ratio is a bit odd but it works well. The sounds are cool even if it is a little repetitive.
The pitch of the game is really fun though. Good job man !
