Lovely idea. I' mostly sitting there, watching the clock go by. So... very realistic :-D
hahaha thanks for playing!
the art and the music are amazing! I also loved the little comments that the students would make and it made the game feel a bit more real. moving the windows around felt very natural and satisfying. I wish the windows were a bit larger, especially the seating arrangement window. I think I might have run into a bug the first time I played where after the first day I wasn't able to move around the seating arrangement (though I was able to select different students, more than two at a time, they did not move and did not give me the buttons at the bottom to rearrange them/revert changes). overall really great work!
i've never encountered a bug like that before, thanks for letting me know!
The concept and presentation behind this game is extremely interesting and I really love the artstyle and overall aesthetic of the game. The little designs and dialogues and everything make the game feel really alive and make it very engaging. Understanding how to actually play the game is a little challenging but I think after a few attempts I understood how to do things. Overall I think this was a really fun game!
i like the idea behind this, but it's a little confusing to understand. I couldn't figure out which students to pair together and they always ending up failing XD I'm sure it's something that just takes trial & error, but maybe there's a way to make it a little more clear how to play. But overall good work!
I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)
I wish there’s tutorial beforehand. I want to play it but I don’t know how.
thanks for the feedback! i'm hesitant to explain how the game works in these comments because i don't know if that would be unfair for jam rating, but that's one of the things i regret the most: not giving the player enough information!
i'm very bad at this game. i like all the names and that one character kev!

thanks stranger ;)
It was a little challenging to figure out the goal, but I loved that "Papers, Please!" vibes.
It looks neat, and I do love management games. But the interaction and especially with a timer makes me more stressed than anything else :)
I liked the idea and the art. I just wish the boxes were bigger.
I also was confused by bits of it, on one of the days the student planner said they all had B's/C's then at the end of the day the report said they all got F's?
Great idea, really like the art style!
Love the concept and take on the theme. Great game!
I like the concept a whole lot! I wish all of the pages were bigger so I could read it more easily. I loved the art and theming.
The idea seems quite original and realistic. But I really didn't understand how to arrange students, as for some reason even after announcing new rearrangement they still complained about their now-old partners. It has that papers please vibe, which I like, but I don't really get how to play it.
ahh yeah i was playing through it after uploading and realized that i hadn't made it clear at all how the partners worked. it's supposed to be that every 30 seconds they do a bit of work. complaints about their old partners are from the last 30-second mark, but i think i would change the way that works if i were to update this game. thanks so much for the good feedback :)
No problem, thanks for replying :)
