Great graphics and music. Also, the secret to life appears to be neglect your family for work as long as humanly possible!

Great artwork and music! Kept me sticked to it till about 20k, just going to bar straight from work.

Haha, really well executed game. I like the scaling recreation. I was expecting that it would be easier to make more money once I had a decent amount, but it didn't seem to be the case. The music was pretty pumpin', but I wish the loop was longer. Graphics were really well done. Good job!

I liked the idea. The music was fantastic, and the graphics were nice. I'm a bit unsure of why I kept losing in the third stage, even when my family happiness was above 0. Am I missing something?

Regardless, nice work!

Am I the only one upset the bar is no longer an option when you have money? Great game, the metaphor is too real x.x

My finger hurts and I didn't even win. As a stereotypical journalist would say, "Is this the next Dark Souls ?"

Nice game, I've made 10k :)

The music and graphics were great!
I didn't finish the game, but I played for a while, and the gameplay did get a little repetitive. But maybe that's the point, of course. :)

I loved the graphics and the gameplay was simple but had a fun little story to tell. Great job! :)

That was *very* cool! I like the feeling, like life is passing away, and boiled down to tasks... cool!

All just like in real life))
Graphics and sound is cool!

Wow, well done. It's got cohesive sound and graphics, perfect timing, and man I just want to go back to playing video games with my son after work... things were easy then. Not that I have a kid yet.

Great sound and graphics. Gameplay was snappy. I really like that the Work job would let you eat up the remainder of your time so you didn't have to sit and wait for the clock to tick down to another day =).

@jimbly I'm glad that I liked the solution with the extra time. I had to spend time on testing to come to him =)

Nice interesting short game! The music is very nice, and the graphics are well done! (Too lazy to draw the arms

A small value for a loan, but a fantastic concept for a game! Nice visuals and music, simple-but-engaging gameplay, nice social commentary. My only complaint is about my virtual family, those lousy bunch of ingrates. I work my butt off all day to put food on the table, and THIS is the thanks I get?

pretty cool game - loved the graphics and the small game area were good

I like this game! It's really cool how the things evolve as you get promotions. The art and music fit the game pretty nicely. I got a "game over" screen at day 47 for no apparent reason, was that the end of the game or i fucked up somehow? If that was indeed the end of the game i gotta say it was a great way to end it lol.

Good job man!

Really good one! you made me an alcoholic capitalist skilled at golf with a yatch and no family. Great !
I liked it :)

Killer music! Lovely pixel art too. I'm not a massive fan of these types of games normally but this was very nicely done with a nice level of polish. Nice work!

This was really fun and addictive!. I know some people like that guy (not millionaires but the golf and yatch club were spot on) and they inevitably end alone. Loved the music too!

Kinda reminds me of my entry in the way that we both tried to bring that feeling of being overwhealmed by responsibilities :) I loved the graphics and the idea all together. Good job.

Additive gameplay, great music and art! Interesting to see that playing golf makes your family happy :D

Gameplay seems to be something like a clicker. Overall kinda depressing, but makes you think. Was wondering what would happen at 100000, but game stopped me. Nice graphics and sounds, solid fit to theme. We have kinda similar take on theme actually, but instead of forests, you have family.
