i too wanna bap every person who comes into my place of work sending them flying into a waking nightmare where they run in place for eternity, pending manual damnation

very fun silly game, love the personality of ur projects as always >:3!!!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and that stream was super fun! The infinite running guys are definitely a staple of any law office worth its salt.

Submitted(+2)

very silly and well done, even a fun little moving main menu, very slick. The thing that stuck out was how sudden the round/day ended. A bit clearer environment/sound (getting darker ect.) and/or more visual ques on the bar about how much time has past/is left would help a lot.

Developer

Absolutely valid, yeah. I think during development I wrote off the bad feeling of a loss to the sloppiness of the end screen and figured if I had spare time I would overhaul that screen to feel / look better and solve that. In hindsight the main issue is more about how suddenly it appears, though. So yeah I appreciate the feedback and a post jam patch version would absolutely have that tweaked and improved! Thanks so much for playing! 

Submitted(+2)

Ain't no way I had 49228 when I needed 50k. I think there should have been more visual indication or some leniency with the end of day coming, cause it felt so sudden, but other than that I really loved the game. I wonder, how did you make the drawing detection system?

Developer(+1)

ooof, that's rough. I definitely agree an indicator that you are reaching the end of the time limit would be great, the clock isn't enough, especially when it gets blocked by clients. This video was integral to getting the drawing system working, shouts out Mix and Jam!

Submitted

Interesting

I'll never be a powerful attorney like my father, it's just all too much for me. A drawing game is such a unique idea, and it's a wonder it works so well. It definitely asks too much of me and my little trackpad, but this was really a wonderfully unique one!

Developer(+1)

oof yeah this on a trackpad does not sound fun haha. Thanks for giving it a shot though! I'm sure you will become a big strong attorney one day. 

Submitted(+2)

Really fun if you aren't playing to win. It's quite annoying and very easy to get angery about >:O

If you are going for the win I think it's a bit too hard. You pretty much have to fish for dismissal and don't get any upgrades.

Quite impressed by how accurate the drawing detection is btw.

Developer(+1)

I appreciate the feedback! That's all very valid and I will definitely take that into consideration. Balancing a game to be fair is tough when you have been grinding it every day for 10 days straight haha, I need to learn better how to estimate where the difficulty should be relative to myself. Happy/sorry to hear we annoyed you though lol, definitely some intended frustrations mixed in there with some of the unintended ones. 

Submitted(+2)

Wow what a very fun game! Had a blast!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Loved the drawing mechanic and the special contracts were a lot of fun to use.

Here's a vod of me playing your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2372490353?t=03h33m33s

Developer

Thanks for giving it a real shot! That was a fun stream

Submitted(+2)

This game is incredible. Stupendous job. Just needs some balancing work and it'll be even better. There are simply too many customers on the final day (which is hilarious). I never really got the time to identify unruly clients and serve them the interesting power documents. In the last few days the phone didn't ring at all, and on the final day I managed to serve a blank red piece of paper to a client. My first run was a quick failure; I don't think it's possible to succeed on your first play, but that's ok. Again, incredible work.

Developer(+1)

yeha the sensory overload at the end is very funny to me and is definitely in the spirit of the original intended vision, but yeah in a real release I think that would need to be adjusted. I'm not too sure what is going on with the phone exactly, I have had that pop up a few times so I have to look into that. The blank red paper is uhhhh... well it's the gesture recognition system thinking you drew a dick. We included that in the trainings data as a planned joke to try to call people out for drawing a dick but the detection wasn't accurate enough so it would falsely accuse you of dick drawing often. We planned to just cut it but it turned out the dick gesture was too integral to the systems and would be a pain to remove, and we really didn't have the time so here we are lmao.

I loved stapling documents to peoples heads and telling them to get the hell out of my office lol

Developer

Hey man you've got a quota to make they shouldn't be in the way anyways lol

Submitted(+2)

Super fun! I love the drawing mechanic!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it a shot! And yeah that mechanic came together pretty good I think, we initially thought it would be out of scope but one of our programmers got it going pretty quick and surprised us haha.

Submitted(+2)

Holy shit this game is cool, I played it for a while, but only ever got $955,000. Legit stressful, but sometimes I did get slightly irritated at the targeting giving the wrong person the documents.

This game does have great potential though, and I hope it gets expanded. I really enjoyed the humor in this game and being able to hire a "legally distinct" Huel is great.


Awesome game. It could use some polish though.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it a real shot! Sorry to hear you were just short, that's a bummer. Super glad to hear the humor came through though and yeah we couldn't resist the saul references.

Submitted

Alright, decided to give it a few more attempts. After a chaotic mess of a run, here is my final score:

This game was really damn fun.

Developer(+1)

Let's gooo nice score!

Submitted(+1)

This was super fun!

I wish I could have figured out how to pick up the phone, but the constant phone ringing in the background honestly added to stressful/chaotic vibe.

Developer(+1)

Haha damn sorry to hear that! It should just be clicking on the phone but it sounds like the hit detection was acting up, sorry about that! Glad it didn't ruin the experience too much lol.

Submitted(+1)

The stress meter accurately depicted my own stress playing this game. 10/10

Developer

Very glad to hear that lol, getting the balance just right on that was tough!

Submitted(+1)

Lots of funny charms in this one, from the stapler to the vandalism. I also liked the portrait of Reggie.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I had to represent my boy Reggie

Submitted(+1)

Original concept! Fun little "simulator"-style game

Developer

Thanks so much! Yeah the idea was a bit out there but I think we pulled it together in a pretty satisfying way.

Submitted(+1)

very funny and quite good. great art and sound too. i cant resist messing around with the drawing and the customers lol. 10/10 accurate representation of an attorney's office.

Developer

super glad to hear it! Yeah I put a lot of focus on interactivity with clients so they're extra fun to mess with and push around. Thanks for playing!

(+2)

Finally, a game that properly portrays how a real operates.

Aside from that, absurdly good game, the design of the office is extremely good too. 10/10.

Developer

Thanks so much! Really glad to hear you had a good time.

Submitted(+1)

this was basically real life

Developer

yeah we did a lot of research into what the day to day life of a real lawyer is like and tried our best to simulate that here, the giant stone fist crushing your unruly clients in particular was taken directly from a real anecdote

Submitted(+1)

Saul Goodman meets Chaos Magic simulator  10/10, love the creativity

Developer

Yeah we definitely weren't too subtle with the Saul stuff lol, I couldn't resist. Thanks so much for playing!

Submitted(+1)

The game looks great!

Developer

Thanks! I had a lot of fun with these characters and the environment design.
