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 :)

That was pretty hilarious. Nice Gameboy style pixel art and really sweet chiptunes!

CodeForJoyCaro5 Oct 2020, 20:05

The pixel art is good and I like the intuitive way of interacting with the environment.

Jack I5 Oct 2020, 20:06

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

WiredSound5 Oct 2020, 20:07

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

ondy19855 Oct 2020, 20:07

Am I doing that right? :-D Also, notice the stress level :smile:

Nice gameboy looking game but working in the office didn't seem to add more stress to the character

M8rix5 Oct 2020, 20:09

Beautiful :) funniest entry yet. Good job!

lamonfly5 Oct 2020, 20:14

Xiscoauthor5 Oct 2020, 20:27

He he you guys found some hilarious bugs, I will try to fix them a bit xD

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:)

I've made a video where I try out a bunch of Ludum Dare games, including yours. If you'd like to check that out here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj-l261Esr0

For now this is my favorite game hahahaha

Xiscoauthor6 Oct 2020, 18:50

@mumaitron @animaster thanks for the suggestions, I hope to improve it a bit as soon as I can :)
@jimmakesgames Man! Thank you! I am so glad to know that you included the game in your video, among these supercool titles. Very funny to watch you playing and commenting it.

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!

fpoli7 Oct 2020, 01:35

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

Ree Rolph7 Oct 2020, 01:42

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.

coryru7 Oct 2020, 01:49

That song is so well made! and the pixel art is quite nice! Fun, Quick, Silly. Good Work!

Xiscoauthor7 Oct 2020, 10:09

Fun game! Really nice graphics, and a very impressive level of polish

Zhanna9 Oct 2020, 19:28

Nice game developer simulator

NickyKendy12 Oct 2020, 11:28

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:

meskaline12 Oct 2020, 14:59

Love the minimal palette graphic. Good audio and concept. Good job!

Le Don13 Oct 2020, 15:05

I really like the look and feel of the game.
