Love the take on the theme and the humor! Almost a bit too realistic.

Very innovative and unique, I loved the sound and vibe.

I really loved the variation of minigames, it felt like I was crunching for a deadline. Loved the psycho guy jumpscare and the geography game. I was a bit confused at the ones where you have to for example write three colors, but once I understood it was a really fun one too and felt like a real task my coworker would ask from me. Also all the small details and jokes were amazing, so much attention to detail! 5/5

The game felt so real that I actually thought I was working a 9 to 5 job. Truly terrifying.

Ditto @vantalogic's comments - this captures mindless tedium/busywork a little too accurately :laughing:

Sound design was on point and matches the pixel art quite well!

What a great multitasking game, really relatable and hectic experience. I still have no idea what my job was but maybe it's irrelevant. Definitely one of my favorites now.

@jejkobb thanks for the comment! I agree that the introduction of some, especially the three words task are a bit lacking, tutorial wise. I'm glad you managed to get the hang of it!

and to everyone else, thanks for playing and the comments, glad you enjoyed it :)

Great submission! felt very chaotic at times, haha

Fun gameplay! I am surprised your team can make so many mini games in 3 days!

This is the best game i've tried so far. Nice humor, good chalange and very fun :D good job :)

This is a pretty good game, but I probably shouldn't have played this before going to work lol

@klose thank you! it was a pretty stressful weekend lol - managed to build a pretty decent window structure which made adding new things not super difficult.

This was so cool! A few things remind me almost too much of work :sweat_smile: The art, sound, and overall vibe were all superb and I loved the sense of humor. All of the mini-games were cool and made sense, and the office psycho was absolutely terrifying. Great job!

This is a really good entry. It got so hectic and felt all too real :sweat_smile: Keep on making games!

This is actually pretty fun. It's stressful, but that fits how working should feel like. The art looks amazing!

What a creative concept. Well done on the execution too. I couldn't figure out how to answer the "enter the text on the image" prompt (there was no image). The standup invite was hilarious. Great entry!

Really nice polish and art! Definitely got chaotic, some tasks were much harder then others.

3:46

Sooo fun, although it was too similar to work :S

Good use of the theme and quite polished for the time we had!! Keep it up and hope you achieve you objectives!

Interesting. Hard to keep up with the tasks, though a little easier the second time. For the window where you have to tell your coworker 3 types of things, some of the words were way too long for me to finish in time. For example, 3 types of continents, or 3 types of berries (unless the game accepts just the berries prefixes, since most berries contain the word berry). Typing out Africa, Antarctica and Europe was not something I could finish before the task ended :( In comparison, 3 types of animals were easier to think up shorter words I was more used to typing -- Bird, cat, fish.

Otherwise, I liked the graphics and interface and the humor was clever.

@erik-tate thank you for the kind words! glad you enjoyed it

@frozenfire92 thanks! will do :) if you want a challenge, 7:39 is the unofficial wr for the game hahah - was lucky with getting the nuke task scripts for that to happen though

@icyyw thank you so much! was definitely a challenge trying to balance "fun" with having it feel like an office environment

@jake-g thanks jake! did the captchas not look similar to this for you? the captcha fonts just didn't load? for the captcha task, it's like any old-school captcha - you have to write the letters that show up. of course, if you can't see them at all that's a different story lol. they should definitely be included in the unity build though


@quinnster thanks a lot :) and we agree, some tasks are definitely harder. we tried making it so that every task didn't feel the same, sometimes you're a bit luckier than others depending on which you get

@zyntist I'm glad you found it fun :) and yeah hahah some tasks do feel a bit monotonous. tried to spice them up with space invaders (snake was also planned), but didn't have time for everything unfortunately

@kobato-games it's true that the tasks get a little overwhelming after a while. I agree that the berry task is the most difficult one, and as of right now you can't just write the prefixes, but you can write berries like acai and goji, etc. for the animal task, it actually specifically asks for animals starting with the letter S!! regardless, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment, appreciate all your feedback.

43 tasks in 5:24. What a great game! Super hectic but in the best way possible. My favorite task was the country locator. I was sometimes unsure when I actually failed or succeeded in the tasks, the sounds sometimes sounded negative, but the satisfaction bar rose. A small issue in an otherwise enjoyable experience. Also, the portraits are fantastic! Great job.

@busisen You're welcome. Good to know it accepts some shorter berry names. In hindsight, I could have done Asia instead of trying to remember how to spell Antarctica within a few seconds. Maybe some of those mini games are more doable once you replay enough times to figure out the faster options.

@jake-g I finally understood what you meant haha, I had copied the textinput from the captcha task to the three word-task and forgotten to change the placeholder text, which understandably causes confusion. I've fixed it in the latest build!

@keithswanger thank you so much keith, I really liked your game as well. and that's a very respectable score! as for the feedback sounds from task completion/failure - I kinda agree, and it was also something I didn't know how to best solve. Right now, every task/window is assigned a coworker, and they have a positive and negative sound depending on how well you did, but it's kinda hard to tell these apart. I actually changed all positive sounds to a more generic "success-sound" just now for testing, and while it's more clear, it also takes away the vibe of you doing tasks for other people in an office environment and "hearing their feedback". Not sure about the best solution, but keeping it as is for now. either way, appreciate the rating and comment :) edit: I changed the success sound to be more clear!

@kobato-games yep, you're right. it definitely gets easier over time. you learn quite quickly what every task does and requires of you and it turns into a more strategic game - which tasks to avoid, when to use the nuke scripts, and so on. but yeah, some tasks aren't always super clear.

I loved the art and the concept of the game, it reminded me of Wario games, you did a great job!

The best game I've played so far. The idea is original and nice, the gameplay is a little too repetitive, but the idea of having the player do small tasks works well, nice job!

Incredible submission, the text based tasks were quite hard to do in comparison to the others, I ended up skipping them when I was seeing them

I really mildly infuriating and need my friday beer!!!11!!111!!

Oh, what an original entry! I love the character design! I had difficulties to keep up with some tasks (especially with the journalist), but It was fun anyways! :D Great job :dizzy:

Cool concept! Love the dynamics of how it gets harder, also the office psycho is my fav now

oof, so stressful! :D I had fun though, great entry!

I love this take on the theme! And I can definitely relate as an introverted person! I like this idea of constant harassment by virtual communication in order to avoid the worse fate of face to face communication(or worse a phone call!). Well done!

@zerolarih thank you so much! I really enjoyed your game too!

@chiara-sanviti ditto, your group's game was incredible! such a fun, polished, complete experience. thanks a lot for the comment! It's true that it becomes a little repetitive, would've loved to implement a few other minigames as well, but ran out of time.

@pandalk @momod thank you :) and yes, the three word tasks are definitely the toughest ones, except for maybe the colour one. I always skip them too, when trying to score high. it's just better to focus your energy on the other tasks hahah. thanks a lot for the comments!

@nadia-pixel thanks a lot, office psycho is a fav for sure hahah

@syudzius @whenyoucantfindafriend thank you so much, glad you liked it!

Guess I'm just not cut out for a desk job.

As an officeworker myself, I feel both seen and targeted. I felt like I was right back in the 9-5 trenches, fighting the good fight. Congrats to you both on a great jam game <3

@digitaliliad thanks for playing the game on stream, loved your reaction :)

Innovative concept, slick graphics, pleasing color palette, good humor. First playthrough I tried to click on things quickly and being a yes man without fully reading and died to the psycho, lol.
Funny how my game could be a fitting sequel to this one.
Loved the minigames, the captchas always get me.
Best game I played in the jam so far.

Wooow, i love it! Really interesting concept of the game. Also i like visual style of the game, it was really interesting to play it! It is great game, guys! I am impressed that you two managed to do it in such a short time.

The boss is not happy with me... :grinning:

Loved the assets, the mood, the stress, audio...

Really good entry, so much work done here, congrats! :clap:

This was a great experience, almost a little too close to real life :D

You did a tremendous job, all parts of the game fit together really well. Nice entry!

pretty fun

Love these kinds of games with collections of minigames! The pixel art is amazing and the whole game is so polished for your first jam. Amazing work
