Congratulations! Your application to work in the prestigious Jobb Corporation has been accepted! You'll be working in a very stable work position: the everything-man! You'll have to water the office plants, deliver coffees, print documents and even accept or reject CV's from other people! Doesn't that sound exciting?

Keep up with the ridiculous amount of tasks that you'll receive, or else you'll lose a part of your juicy salary. The controls are simple: Move around the office with W, A S and D (Or the keyboard arrows). Pick up objects with E, and use them or interact with different parts of the office with the Space bar.

Office hours are from 9:00 to 17:00. Don't be late. Don't hesitate to stay more time if you "want" to.

We recommend you to download the game to enjoy a better experience. However, feel free from playing it on the web browser!!

prety hard for me. Nice style.

Enjoyed it! Great art style, it's simple on the exterior, but yet there's a good depth to the gameplay! Hard game, but good work!

Really well done! This is a very polished game and was super engaging. It took a lot of tries for my perfectionist heart to try finish the first day. Ultimately, I had to become comfortable in failing tasks, so maybe I actually learnt something from this game. Good job!

So much anxiety! :joy:

hahah this was so stressful! the poor abused intern. and if he's answering phones and doing recruiting, what are these other people doing besides trash talking him as he walks next to them! :cry:
I liked the music, and the art was so whimsical and cute.

I def got way better once I actually learned how to give people coffee instead of drinking it myself...

I enjoyed this game a lot!

Really hard but fun game, the art style is great and there is a huge amount of objects and characters, quite impressive. Delivering stuff like coffee, documents is quite dificult because most times you throw the object and it will drop on the floor instead of completing the quest. Other than great game, well done!

Brutal but great. Graphics / characters / layout were amazing and everything was very detailed. Only thing that separates it from real life is jira integration...

Just amazing how much you managed to make in this short term. Very solid gameplay, I enjoyed playing it.

Great work!

Loved the music, it added a great mood and I didn't feel that it was too repetitive.

Had to stop myself at 4th day, this game is so addicting! Artstyle is cool, music is perfect for the setting, the only downside is that, for what I've been able to see, is that you can't loose money..

I mean, there are a lot of tasks and it's really really difficult to make all of them, but it would be the best if you had to manage your money according on how many tasks you succeded/failed, in my opinion

I loved this game so much haha

@marvix you can actually lose money! whenever you fail a task, you lose a part of the salary. You can even have negative money if you are not careful enough!

Thank you everyone for you kind feedback!! :heart:

Really fun idea, and I liked the music a lot. Probably just me, but I never found the watering can to water the plants with lol. Great job!

This was more stressful than my real job :)

Well done with the game. Everything fit together nicely.

Slavi8 Oct 2021, 19:18

Very nice game ! This remind me a little smartphone game in this same theme xD Great job !!!

civmaniac8 Oct 2021, 19:58

We made a game with similar mechanics, but a different setting. Really cool! There are some bugs with jobs not completing, but I enjoyed it! :) Nice job!

TebionDL11 Oct 2021, 21:49

Sestren17 Oct 2021, 14:46

Togis18 Oct 2021, 04:23

Hey there! This game was really amazing to play! This was a real gem, one of the top game of this LD for me. I really, really enjoyed it! Thanks for joining us live!

I finally had the time to come back and rate everything I played so far!

To live better and eat plenty you also need to work more but I see you have some problem with it because no one of employers doesn't want to employ you. Fortunately, in this severe case, I would like to mention this job agency and its link https://jobssite.ca/ where you can search for different professions, choose the best one, and then get down to business sending your CV. I think you will be glad to use it.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the everything-man as well, and it's actually tiring, but there's nothing I can do.

JackRichard18 Aug 2022, 09:44

Are you sure there's nothing you can do? I'm confident that you can automate half of your working processes. For instance, I can recommend you check out https://www.quoteroller.com/, that's the software that I use, and I feel like it'll help you reduce time you spend working with documents, at least.

For a very long time, I was tired of working at my old job because of a small salary that did not stimulate me to be more productive. However, since I found IT jobs with relocation for myself, I began to think about moving to another country. It's not for nothing that I decided to do this, because at the moment I feel really alive.

Limited removal capacity: Disc sanders are not suitable for removing large amounts of material quickly.Limited versatility: Disc sanders are not the best choice for sanding down uneven surfaces or shaping metal. https://justsander.com/best-sander-for-wood/
