Working from home is easy right? That's why you decided to take up several jobs at once while you relax in your beach house. What you didn't consider is how many emails you'll need to respond to.
Employers are constantly assigning tasks while spam emails try to steal your credentials. You find yourself tethered to your desktop...haunted by the sound of incoming emails every 10 seconds.

Play Now on Itch.io!



How To Play:


- Win by making it to the end of the work day (17:00) without being fired.
- You get a strike every time you fall for spam or fail a task. Three strikes and you're fired.
- Let your emails pile up too high (10 emails) and you'll be fired.
- You'll receive more emails every 10 seconds.

Quite hectic, but nicely done!

It doesn't look like it at first glance, but our games are very similar :D

Check it out if you like!

Hello! We played each other's games on the LD50. I'm glad you're participating again! :heart:
Game is great! Plays fun. I even giggled in a couple of places. Spamming about the African prince and watering the flowers in the shower :3

I always like these short fast-paced minigames, and I think having an inbox of then fill up is a really nice touch. Having an inbox limit for all of the games added a lot of tension, and it was a nice (short) break whenever I got 2-3 spam emails I could just click through to clean the inbox out.

Amazing! It was really fun and the whole game felt super polished in terms of feedback, visual effects, sfx and UI. Overall really great entry! I just wish Billy would stop eating so much dirt...

"just one more try"

Quite an addictive, high tempo gameplay loop! Clever use of AI generated art, too ;)

Oo I like this one. Quite chaotic but easy to understand. After a while you get to know what emails need which response. The only feedback I can give is that it is not very clear in the beginning what answer is needed. So the first tries I got fired a lot haha

Great game though, I love the music! And the minigames are very well done.

I have a 4k display on chrome

The minigames are all fun and it feels satisfying when you complete them. The graphics and spam email are quite amusing and the difficulty feels fair. Overall a very fun game, well done!

Yey! I won and actually it was harder than it's in real life. Probably the antispam filter should be configured better :smile: Thanks for the entry!
