Hey, My Name is Joe! by Pixelaborate
(The theme I chose to do was two button controls, no growing, sorry!)
Hey, My Name is Joe!, (Full Title: Hey, My Name is Joe, and I Work in a Fastener Facility. I've Got No Wife (It's Complicated) and Two Gerbils. I Was Working When I Almost Got FIRED!!) is a game about a man's day to day. Unfortunately I had no way of making the game only have two buttons, but it is controlled using only the 'f' and 'j' keys. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it :)
'f' controls the left button
'j' controls the right button
(I apologize for the broken mac build, not really sure what's up with that)

The gameplay does get monotonous after a while, but the game is short enough that I felt motivated to keep going the whole way through (noticing how far the date was from the end of the month helped).
At first I thought the protagonist's job was to simply sort the buttons by color, but based on one of the mustachioed dude's comments, I guess he's supposed to be eliminating defects from the production line? I just realized that the "'A' OK!" and "Recycle" signs are supposed to indicate that as well. Those labels might be a bit clearer if they were directly underneath their respective buttons. I do also wish the defective buttons were defective in a way other than being a different color- being cracked, having a missing hole, or stuff like that. Implementing defects that way also allows to to increase the difficulty be making the defects more subtle as you go on.
Overall you did an awesome job, congrats!
