ive seen this type of idea before in the jam. the execution of this idea is really well done. it feels like a non-scary fnaf. however, i feel its a bit unfair that you send that amount of work. i used an exploit that i discovered (click with 2 mouses at the same time) and still couldnt complete all the work. i say this a lot, but great potential here! :) (also LOVED the artstyle)

Thank you for the feedback! We'll be sure to adjust the levels and reward the player a lot better in the full game, I'll be sure to check out your game too

THIS WAS SO GOOD. Sincerely! The concept was unique (this is the only clicker I've played so far this entire game jam) and fantastically fun. The art was *chef kiss* so dang cute. The entire game really captured the work from home feeling. What I think you could improve is giving stats at the end of the game. My god did my finger hurt! I want to know how many things I clicked! xD
One other thing is the font used for the intro  and the menu, you could ask your artist to whip you up something in the same style. (now that they have time to do so xD)

All in all that was a wonderful game! Congrats! If you could give ours a play I would really appreciate it!

I love the artstyle as well as sound effects and music. Great work.

The idea is also really cute.

Gameplay wise it's a bit stressfull, especially in the later half but it didn't feel completely unmanagable. It's a neat little balancing act and prioritising. Also very relatable, having emails swarm your inbox :D

Really great art and sound design, it was a delight to inhabit the world of the game. If only I could be this productive in real life! Good work

Haha, I loved the idea of working from home. A lot of stuff to do and at the same time trying to spend time with the family. Loved the art as well. At the end I kept mashing the mouse button to finish the work. It certainly went way out of control. xD Great idea! Loved it!

This was so cute! All of the art and music was really nice.  The gameplay could use a bit of improvement, but if you added minigames or something for the tasks I think it could make a great mobile game. Keep up the good work!

I loved the visuals.
Have to say that I didn't find it fun at all, and infact it hurt my finger a bit to mash my mouse so much.
If you made this game less about clicking, and more about keyboard presses, I think it would have been more comfortable.

First off the art is amazing. I think Toffee is a little bit too generous haha. But I had fun playing the game. Great job!

I felt really stressed playing this game, but somehow you managed to do it quite nicely, the sound design is great and so is the art (Toffee was so cute). It was an interesting experience definetly. My only problem was that i made me so stressed but that´s what happens when things are out of control.

If I can make a suggestion I think that adding  a few different endings depending on the amount and type of tasks left would be a nice thing.

Overall a pretty interesting game with a stressful mechanic, but I had a lot of fun playing it. Well done!

Thanks for the feedback! We're definitely going to be expanding the work flow and adding different endings and much more in the full game! Add the full game to your collection if you're interested in updates on the full game and to get a notification when it's out! We're discussing the direction of the game with the reviews and suggestions like yours in mind

This was a really funny game! It is so relatable as a cat owner too and i like there is an order in the work stuff you need to do. I think the game flow could be expanded but it is compelling for 48 h! I loved both the artwork and sound design.

I'm a cat owner too and mine was walking all over my keyboard trying to get my attention while I was working on this game lol. What would you like to see expanded? We're going to continue to work on the game after the jam. All suggestions/criticisms are welcome!

This was really fun! The artwork is also gorgeous and it was a fairly simple game, yet quite addicting! One of the games that I genuinely enjoyed playing until the end!
