Beautefly done!
A gameboy game very impressive. This game made me laugh, had superb audio design and amazing interpretation of the theme. Well done!
Awesome game, it feels like my work place :D
Well made and very funny game. I like how he head bangs to work and screams to destress.
Hahahaha the headbanging was brilliant! Such a nice idea and spin on a genre. I really liked the indication of the boss giving you some time to react, good game design. Asthetics are superb
I thought the game was fun and the graphics were cool, I thought the gameplay was a little boring imo though. I also couldn't figure out how to do any of the secret stuff for some reason, I tried, but I just couldn't figure it out so I ended up quitting
Awesome style! Everything fits together quite nice! After playing it for a while I sympathize with the character. Those breaks are definitely necessary to release stress. Keep it up!
much fun. make more.
Excellent game, great styling and feels like I am sitting under a lamp with my Gameboy Advanced again! The gameplay is simple yet challenging enough to keep me in it, and the exploration was neat! I had a ton of trouble with wall jumping though, but that might be on me ;-;
This is amazing. You are really talented and should be proud of yourself. 🩷
Great game! I really liked the story during the break time. I found the game loop a little boring, tho. Maybe adding a sound effect to the text at the beginning would make it more immersive. But overall, an amazing game!
Great use of 4 colors and sounds are beautiful. The story telling in the breaktime is very interesting. Good job guys!!!
I love everything about it, great use of the limited color palette and fantastic yet super simple minigame with the boss. I also really appreciate all the little effort put into the game, the boss jumpscare, the hole in the wall, I was very involved with the storyline. great job, congrats!
Loved the graphics and colour palette! Amazing work :)
Great music and art!
Really funny game, good work!
Despite its graphics, this game is a almost a live-rendering of reality.
Good job, I really loved the head-banging on the keyboard and the scream to relax. The character design is really cool as well!
Sound design is great, the desk bash with the camera shake really sells the impact of the hit
Kind of got lost early on in the game and had to struggle through
Very polished and nostalgic!
I loved the art, it´s pretty difficult the work part
Really enjoyed the scream mechanic here lol, it's a really fun game! Nothing of note that hasn't been noted already, overall this was really well done!!
