Back To Routine by Xisco

[raw]
made by Xisco for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

screenshot02.png Hi folks, I am starting with some simple stuff. It's my first jam ever and hope to make something done soon. The theme inspires me about a routine, the life tasks that trap us in something we never expect as the life we are living even if it is the same thing everyday.

I am listening all feedback received, solving bugs and I am very thankful that some of you tested the game and liked it.

V rev1. Uploaded a version with following minor changes: - Instead of getting out the rooms you can reload the coffee and the beer with up arrow in the coffee maker or waiter. - Corrected some typos - Added mobile controls (when on mobile platforms). - Same disease scene when you get 0 streess (too much alcohol), in the past version the game got blocked when reached 0 stress

Only bugs and small changes are going to be done in the future. Thank you for your feedback and comments :)

I like how unique this game is, I haven't played many in this type of genre but it's pretty cool.

Great art and music! Funny, albeit kind of depressing, concept.

Drank to much coffe and got a disease / 10.
I understand the concept and I think with some added content this game will be great! at the current state there's not so much to do but the music is really good!
Good job!

Nice little game, hoped that I get another ending if stress level becomes 0, but nothing happened. Good job anyway:)

Great entry, it's a fun and engaging game. I like how you can leave a job at any time and go to the bar.

What I fancy the most is art. You accomplished an impressive work with these cool looking sprites. Also, the music is great.

Congratulations on your first jam! Very solid entry!

Loved the animations and graphics. I found it to be really funny. I got a desease because I'm a workaholic haha. Good work!

Ha, very nice. Loved the 1-bit graphics. Cycled between drinking coffee and working while avoiding going to the bar until I got a disease. Overall, a great simulator of the last six months of my life.

Very cute! The graphic and sound~ About going around three places for like ten minutes, I get it, it's like our daily life, endless, if you just keep your own stress(health),like stuck in the loop :mosque:
