Work hard enough, and you might just attain that DREAM JOB. But constant yelling from your boss at every mistake will drive you deeper and deeper into a daydream about confronting him…

Made for LD48, with the theme “Deeper and Deeper”.

Hope you enjoy!

Nice concept. It remembers me Overcooked.

Love the UI and art direction. Feels a lot more cohesive than most game jams. I also like that you included the giant piles of gold next to the boss like all retail managers have. XD

It is a nice concept. It just could have had a more fluid gameplay: I noticed some performance issue sometimes and a movement control which should be more dinamyc and responsive. The if you would add more feedback for your actions that would be a great improve. I'd like to see this a full fledged game. Nice job!

Thanks for the kind words, all! Overcooked was definitely a big inspiration! And yeah, it definitely needed more in the way of feedback for player-action (and probably also more clarity + variety in terms of tasks). We probably won't work on it anymore, but will bear both in mind for whatever we work on next!

It sounds like you've created an interesting game with a relatable theme. Dealing with a difficult boss can be tough. It's important to find healthy ways to cope with the stress. Maybe trying some stress-relief techniques or seeking support from coworkers can help. By the way, have you considered offering private sessions for game development? I've heard that private sessions can be helpful for those who want to learn specific skills. As for the price, private sessions cost $250 https://www.veterinaryschoolsu.com/training/cost/ . Just a thought!

Just like you would with a car, it’s a good idea to change the oil in your blower on a regular basis. This will help keep the engine running smoothly and efficiently.Check the blower for any wear and tear and repair or replace any damaged parts. This will help ensure the blower is working properly and safely. https://cleartheyard.com/best-walk-behind-leaf-blower/
