Hey this is actually really unique and cool! Definitely an interesting take on the theme. I also liked you had a tutorial video on how to play (otherwise I may have been a bit lost). I'll be honest... while watching the tutorial I felt like this might feel more like "work" than an actual game, but turns out it is actually pretty engaging. Also really like how the music increases the farther along you go, adds to the pressure! I ended up with a score of just about 6000 before getting fired.
I think for the amount of time you had for game jam the UI is acceptable, though it did feel a little clunky when going back and forth between the categories. Also the locations that you didn't use piling up made it slightly messy. At least there's a trash can for those though.
Overall though I think something like this has potential as a full game, there could be a career mode where you each day you have to do this, then you make money/buy upgrades/deal with more difficult problems. I think that could be really fun! Anyways really good work on this!!
-Enjoyment: Being a search engine is fun!
-Creativity: Super unique idea!
-Presentation: The UI and layout look great! And it is funny how I got overwhelmed with requests hehe.
-Neat game indeed!! Please check out my non-creative entry when you can :D
feels pretty, I like how slowly but surely you get overwhelmed no matter what.
I had some issue when I think I chose the right thing, but the request would not be send back, maybe because there were too many cards on top of each other in the backlog..
the text search works pretty intuitive same with locations!
well done!
This one is like papers, please, but it's a lot more relaxing since the penalty isn't that big. It's fun to play honestly!
Super clever Idea!
Really fun game! My game almost crashed from how many requests were appearing, maybe add a lose condition? It's kinda similar to my game but I prefer your execution way more than mine lol. I'd like to see this finished as I like the concept, I could even lend some help if you need!
Thank you for playing our game! I guess you didn't play far enough to actually meet the lose condition but I guess we could have implemented a limit on requests.
I tried playing for as long as my pc handled lol
The concept here is great. Like, really good. But I didn't get the tutorial to work, nor the locations tab :(
good sense of overwhelment while still being manageable. I like the style of having outlines of the images. for whatever reason I wasn't able to open the locations tab so I wasn't able to fulfill those requests. overall great game.
You have probably played the game in the browser then 😅 The introductory video explains how to handle those (drag the request on the location panel) but we didn't have time to fix the web video playback :/ Thanks for playing tho!
Enjoyed the humour, and a very creative concept.
Thank you for playing our game!
