Hey I couldn't rate this one because I think I have a bug on my machine? The screen scrolls down to the view of the kids lined up in front of the merry go round, but the arrow keys and Z don't do anything for me. Am I missing something? (I'm on Chrome on a mac, which sometimes has weirdness.) I'll try another browser and let you know. But please reply if I'm just missing something. :D

Yes sorry about that! The web player for this game engine is a little bit finicky, at least when embedded on itch. I find if you just click directly on the game when it says "click to start" and then don't click anywhere else on the page, it usually works. Seems like if the game loses focus, then you can't get it back without refreshing the page.
I have tested it successfully on Safari following that method. I hope you can get it working. If not let me know and I can try to package it as a mac app.
This is awesome! At first I was very confused, but the story deleoped very well. At the end at the coffe machine I thought, wait a minute, its just the old carousal again :) And then the music started and the world started to fade away. Very good entry, Great Job!

Otter OutrunNeat entry! It all lined up well. It was definitely good you had the mechanical mini game show up after the second round as I otherwise might have missed it. In fact, there were several points where I thought that was “going to be it” but then there was a little more. Got a chuckle when the big-time exec came offering money haha
Edit: also meant to say kudos for making the music and just having absolutely everything tie in together. Only nit would be in the very ending credits, for at least the coffeeshop ending I got, which transitioned into a sort of musical credits void, could be nice to offer a restart button or something to signal nothing more is coming

Panic'PaperI liked all the different modes you put in here, this is a really fun game and I like the story as well.

Crunkle's DebtSuper fun game! I like how the gameplay is really integrated with the story. It gets a little repetitive after a bit, but not egregiously so. The art and music were super fun and really helped to sell the mood. Well done!

Rooting For YouReally impressed with how you told a story mostly through gameplay! This one of my favorites so far! The art, music, gameplay, and story all went together really well.

Sir Spectacles!Collecting the customers' money and avoiding their rubbish was good fun and I like the look of the game, it’s very lighthearted and fun. Also, the part where you go under the ride was a delightful and unexpected surprise and adds good variety to the gameloop

Mind Over FuryI made it to the end at the cafe, I don't think it was repetitive and actually had a good variety of things to do but if you wanted to add more variety, I guess adding more to the challenges like having one customer paying with coins that bounce off the sides could be cool, each customer's face could be on the screen and be different to look at, maybe the notes on a windy day flutter down, things like that
