This game is about the monotonous daily routine of a worker working in a software company where he is assigned with some task given by his austere boss. You'll be the worker and do the tasks assigned by the boss and complete it. If you couldn't complete the tasks then you'll be fired so you are "Stuck in a loop" of tasks given by the boss.

Drink Coffee, Boost your Energy, Complete the given Tasks and Get Paid!!

Tools: Unity

It was fun to play your game! You can spice it up by adding some cool music and real voices. Also the energy bar wasn't visible properly

Gameplay is a little bit repetitive but I guess that's almost the point of the theme :) Very nice art style and audio design, well done

Ynk6 Oct 2020, 06:42

The game idea is pretty simple and makes me think about "Among Us". It would have been nice to add a little twist to this gameplay to reinforce the "loop" concept. Like a way to break this loop, to end this endless slavery :)

I like this, even though it's supposed to simulate monotony it manages to be varied with a multitude of different tasks, very nice!

nice interpretation of the theme. Graphics and animation is smooth and it fits all very well together. It would have been cool if the bubble of the task stood out if it is out of the screen, I didn't see the task at the very left by the boss until it was too late. But all in all a very nice and relatable entry :)

Beautiful graphics, I like the style.
The game could use better pacing though. At the beginning it was a bit too slow and then suddenly I had too many tasks and got fired.
Good job!

I almost got stuck at the repair task, because I did not realise to type repair and then press the repair button

The Music is really repetitive

Super interesting idea. Maybe make the office a bit more spicy. Add drama or sensuality? IDK.

@anshul-k Thanks for your feedback. Glad it was fun to play.

Abiralauthor6 Oct 2020, 08:16

@b0guslaw Thanks for your review mate.

Abiralauthor6 Oct 2020, 08:19

@ynk Yeah we are a bit inspired by Among us. Yeah There is a game over too (fired.. when your energy is low or you have more than five tasks left to do)

Abiralauthor6 Oct 2020, 08:20

@leeloo Yeah we added Task Available feature for that but will surely improve in upcoming future. Thanks for your review!

Abiralauthor6 Oct 2020, 08:20

@dsaltares Thanks for your review!

Abiralauthor6 Oct 2020, 08:21

@jeremia Will improve that in the next update. Thanks for your review!

@josephdevelops Thanks for your review!

username: root // password: root ... Great concept, the difficulty spike was immense.

EnzoUP6 Oct 2020, 19:09

The idea behind this game is great and simple, great job, some music would make the game change everything for me, to give some atmosphere, but overall, I really enjoyed it, great game! 4/5 for me!

Shortbread7 Oct 2020, 08:24

Cool concept and a little too close to home for some people :stuck_out_tongue: (especially the root:root login, that's ridiculously common). Good job with the art and gameplay, though I felt it could have been sped up a bit.

I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection

I liked your idea! It's supercool made the game about office work! Very extraordinaly!))

Graphism and gameplay works really well. It feels like a bad day at office. As other said, the difficulty curve is quite quick, and a less repetitive music could have been great. I could ad that some kind of highscore screen with the number of tasks done could be a cool addition.

Overall the game is simple but effective. Good job!

fachscahfttf7 Oct 2020, 19:01

cool game idea :D
Would have loved to have more minigames instead of just waiting. But thats a much bigger scope then.
Maybe spice up the music with a longer music track, so it does not get repetitive too fast.

Congratulations on finishing the game in the jam!

GammaRomeo7 Oct 2020, 19:07

I thought this was an interesting concept. The energy bar was a bit not clear and maybe you can add extra levels of feedback if more tasks are starting to line up(for eg: stronger music or boss yelling profanities?). It works well for the theme and is quite fun to play!

Szatku7 Oct 2020, 20:35

The game would be good for mobile clicker. Anything else. I don't buy this game

Ariya Reddy8 Oct 2020, 19:03

I think the idea was great but I wish there were some more interactive tasks. However, the graphics really added the the aesthetic and it was a nice looping game. Oddly relaxing!

sollu8 Oct 2020, 19:19

Nice little game.

Vleue8 Oct 2020, 20:16

office life seems very boring! would have loved more mini games, or more variety in the existing one... I'm sure not all password are root, sometimes you have to look at the post it on the screen to get it...

PixelPaw19 Oct 2020, 11:40

This is some deep social criticism if you think about it. Perfect match for the theme! Though admittedly a bit boring after only a few minutes.

Ranjan26 Oct 2020, 02:11

Fun! I liked the variety of tasks, though it seemed like they ramped up in frequency very quickly.
