You’re a stack of tiny creatures trying to sneak out of the house, throw on a cloak, and pretend to be human. Why? To go to work and earn enough cash to pay rent! But there’s a catch — balancing all these little guys on top of each other isn’t easy.
Your goal: tilt left and right to stay upright, save your money, and make rent. Spend too much or lose your balance, and it’s game over.
Will you manage to keep up the act and keep the roof over your heads?
Took me some time to figure out you can feed more than one hot dog to each client so I had a hard time paying rent. Now I'm force feeding them all the hotdogs I have and making tons of money. The landlord keeps increasing the rent though >w
Enjoyed this one a lot! Wasn't quite sure if there was a timer but I felt like I had to lean as far forward as possible and spam the hell out of the hotdog serving. Great take on the theme.
I did find it funny that pressing the space bar seemed to put your coat on and off.
Really silly game, it made me laugh! Very charming. I liked how their job was to serve hotdogs, and how cartoony everything was.
Gameplay wise, it got a little too easy once I it figured - I was making more money than the rent, and the levels weren't getting harder, so it got a bit repetitive - but if the difficulty ramped up after a few days it would be really good. Well done!!
A cool game, took the theme a different way than I expected. The long grind of life. I liked it, it was short, was easy to understand, and kept on repeating over and over to fuel my brain.
That was a pretty cute game, and more importantly original. It took way too long for me to realize that leaning forward/backward changed the speed, but once I figured that out it was smooth sailing. I also noticed that pressing the space bar adds and removes the trench coat and the hat. Does that do anything? Either way, great job and keep it up!
Lolz, this was kind of funny.. little guys on top of each other running like hell to pay rent after serving dishes.. xD. The music fits well. There are several fresh ideas here, I wish there was a bit more to do but that's pretty okay for 2-3 days. GJ!
One bug, I got stuck on the wall at one point, not sure how :D
Very funny game and theme! I would have spent more time refining your core mechanic, which is the balancing, so you have time to tune and create challenges specifically around that! The hot dog serving was funny but felt like an unnecessary distraction; I wasn't really engaging with the leaning mechanic as much as I would have liked!
All that being said, the visuals and music were very charming and I especially loved the contrast between the music!
Very funny take on a infinite runner. I love the chill vibes at home into straight high pace running. The balancing mechanic could be a bit harder in my opinion. I was more focused on serving (spamming e) than balancing.
Not sure if I understood game's lore, but the game play was fun. I found it slightly addictive. Rarely I spend more than a few minutes for a game, but here it was hard to "break the cycle", if know what I mean.
The idea of interpreting the theme as 'four animals in a trench coat,' along with the story behind it, is super creative and funny. I’ve only seen people do the 'animal' part before. In terms of gameplay, I think it should be a bit easier to fall, and I didn’t have any issues with serving hotdogs. However, crossing the road presented a decent challenge. While simplicity is fine, I’d love to see a bit more creativity in the graphics. Additionally, the family inside the house is really cute, and it adds a nice touch to the overall charm. Overall, I like it! Well done!
I love the transition between home, commute, and work :smile: The abrupt change in music really sells it, too!
I wasn't 100% sure how to avoid losing money (outside of avoiding cars). It seemed like there were some things in my path that I wasn't able to avoid that would cost me $20? Unless I'm missing some sort of jumping mechanic...
PS I love how I can change my costume by pressing space, ESPECIALLY because it puts lil hats on my little pig children at home. :rofl: Nice job!
Original idea that is a nice take on the theme. The graphics and presentation look cute and pretty fancy. The gameplay seems to take a back seat though. Nevertheless an impressive LD entry!

I think the balance mostly was not a problem neither were the money - so, perhaps making it a little harder and/or adding variety would serve it well.
