Internshit by MattC

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

In Internshit you can get a sneak peak at what it's like to "gain work experience" in an "agile office environment". Or reminisce in how it used to be back when you didn't get paid to work. Either way: Get your hustle going, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and beat the timer!

This is our very first game and game jam, please give us tons of feedback, we appreciate it greatly!

We are trying to keep a leaderboard manually! If you finish your run add a screenshot to your comment and we will keep a top 5! :)

Leaderboard: 1. 4335 @Rage 2. 4330 @Charlesworth59 3. 4157 @szarlotka 4. 4062 @Kit2K2 5. 3720 @MattC (dev) 6. 3651 @LoophaR

Changelog: * Update 1: Fixed R to restart button, have fun speedrunners!

I like the concept, but after a few attempts I just couldn't reliably figure out where to go! I think maybe making important stuff more visually distinct from the background would have made it easier to tell what's interactable and what isn't. Blocking off parts of the office to keep it from being too big and overwhelming at the start might also help.

Nice usage of the theme ;) The gameplay is a little bit tedious, but I guess that's why it's a good simulation of an internship.

I enjoyed it! While at first I had no clue what to do I spent a couple of "loops" just looking around to find all the interactable objects so that I could then optimize my route for the final try, and I beat it! I enjoyed the mood of the game and I think everything was quite coherent from the art to the writing to the actions.

Actually a pretty fun game, it gets more fun as you replay it a bunch of times and you improve your time. Reminds me of my internship. 10/10

a nice game. The controls could be a bit smoother, but I greatly enjoyed the plethora of names I got.

The people at this company are pretty annoying. Took me being called by the wrong name 3 times to be able to find my laptop. I even stole a ID card to finish what Lisa asked me. Overall I really enjoyed the experience! Well done! :D

I'm really curious how someone got 4000, thought I had the most optimized route. Definitely was confused to start, but figured it out eventually. When you made this, did you have an optimal route in mind? Maybe an alternate control for E would be nice so i could really get the fly bys going. Overall I enjoyed the agile aspect, thanks for reminding me of work :P Overall great job!

A little confusing at first but quickly grows on you. It definitely captures the internship experience ;) I like the humor, especially the intern constantly being called by different names.
It's happened to me a couple of times that the seemingly wrong text would up - for example, the reception's dialogue would show up later on. It'd also be nice to have confirmation text of some sort for all tasks (for example, there's no confirmation when getting Mike coffee).

Great fun and great humor. Love how you get called by a slightly different name every time, just like real interns!

Suck it, Charlesworth59!!!!!!! (ez)
I did what many deemed impossible. As current and probably all time "Internshit" Champion I would like to thank LeNomix for help with pathing and heavy E-spamming.
Really liked the game, highly addictive stuff right there.
For those who are brave enough to challenge me, be warned, you would not be the first to fail miserably... (talking to u Charlesworth59)

Farewell!

Fun idea. I had quite a hard time figuring out where to go initially, but I guess that's part of the challenge.
Took me two attempts to find the laptop, three to get coffee :)
Good job, and thanks for sharing :-)

I liked the idea and concept overall. You managed to put a lot of stuff to do and that's really cool. The problem is that I got too lost at the beginning. Keep up!

Whew, that was intense! Did not make the scoreboard, but I'm glad enough that I made it at all. 😅 Was pretty fun to figure it out and then do the ultimate run eventually. The meeting was a tad obscure. Should probably not have placed interact and restart next to each other because I kept accidentally restarting a lot. 😭 Enjoyed it a bunch nonetheless, great job!
