What is the game about

The game is about living a boring office life and doing standard office work in order to win money. What a dull life, eh?

In this game you play a office worker: 1. Go to the dollar sign to start your task. 2. Accomplish your task. 3. Repeat until your life ends (around 80 years old, I know.. this is an arbitrary choice, sorry).

How to Play

  • WASD to move character
  • Click buttons or space to start task
  • Move the mouse in minigames or follow instruction to complete tasks

A clever little game! I love the art style and the movement was very smooth. I kinda wish there would be more variety to the words that you need to type in the typewriter minigame. The birdwatching could have had more birds or they could fly slower. All in all a good product.

I really liked this game! It's simple but effective and it doesn't last too long!

I managed to get the "understand" text box to get stuck on screen during gameplay.

Hi! Congrats for this entry.
The game is very intuitive to play.
It had fun when I had to hurry to finish lunch because there was work to do. And the words that you had to type were the typical meeting jargon of my office.
I'd like to be able to chose between two options. Because If not, I feel that the fun/money score ratio that I will get is quite random.

Fun presentation. I liked the music, made it feel kinda more monotonous? Maybe the camera could be offset up a bit more to make everything more in centre of the screen?

The ending animation was pretty funny.

awww, the style is so nice! and the ending animation!! typewriter was hell, mostly because I'm not a fast writer, but anyway! also, there was a small glitch, when one opens "understand" and doesn't close it, the window is still here for the rest of a game, but that doeasn't really matter, the game was fun! Thank you!

The style was really good! I enjoyed playing it, but felt a bit sad and somehow nostalgic? In a good way! In a great way, actually!
This was really fun! Great entry!

Hi Everybody, I would like to thank you all for your comments :
@teemu-pulkkinen : The birdwatching game shouldn't have included a disappearance of the birds (due to a mistake on my side). There is definitely an issue of balance as there isn't that much bird.
@sergi-montaner : That is definitely a good Idea. Originally we wanted to do a timed event that appear and disappear if you do not take it in time an it finally did not make it in the final game.

Thank you all again for your comments!

Cute concept, wish there was a little more to the minigames, typing game felt very responsive and enjoyable to play though. Great art and sound!

Nice game! I like that "corporate stuff" feeling, the phones ringing, an old modem sound. I had a bug when I clicked on "Understand" and then right after on play, the popup stayed and I had to restart the game. Otherwise good job, a very polished entry!

Really good game ! Love the art style, the mood is so hard that it makes the game so complete. Good job ;)

Awesome graphics, animation and also the mood of the game...
You should add more randomness to the sfx of the office, and also add more to the ambience like a noisy cityscape comming from outside and muffled by the window glass and create some day and night transition.
