The daily grind is a challenging puzzle game about creating "daily" life loops. It's composed of 3 levels of increasing difficultly and unique mechanics are introduced when you move up to the next level.
Any feedback is appreciated :)
Note that the leaderboard doesn't work in the web version. If you want to submit your score in the leaderboard, choose the PC version.
Wow there's a lot of dead ends in the second level. I'm assuming the jump does something? but I couldn't figure it out. It doesn't look possible to pull off because you HAVE to have arrows in the intersections to turn the bus
Wow, how did you get this much work done in 3 days?? I was pretty blown away by the detail in the game and to be honest I was shocked when the farming level finished and it moved onto a completely different world! I would have struggled to finish the first level haha. Bravo.
@djayne we didn't make the models so most of our time went into gameplay and level building still we were pretty short on time (no ending screen , no postprocesssing,...). also we have a few jams of experience under our belt and we managed our time pretty well id say .
I honestly stopped at 2nd level because I couldn't grasp my head around the mayhem that was going on in the city hahahaha. Overall you guys have a solid foundation, just need better and more one-themed visual representation. :)
Good job! Personally I think it would've been better to stick with one setting and build on concepts there. As it is it kind of feels like 3 separate ideas. Also more interim levels would be good where you teach a new function to players in a controlled environment where you know they have to use it and they will learn it. I honestly gave up in the third level because the scope increased so much and you added a quite complex function without any tutorialization. But I know how jams go and tutorials tend to be one of those things you put off until the end. We've learned over several jams that tutorializing is best done as you go so you have something to build on. Anyway, good job!
