Very cool gameplay loop, and perfectly balanced in difficulty from the start. Well polished overall with a very cute mood. It really feels like experiencing a burnout again. Also programmers are the cutest, just like in real life. I'm offended that the programmers are not on the thumbnail tho...

65/100 overall score on my second attempt.

The game is fun and we recognize the cute style of Blibloop. It a bit stressful as we need to check employees to pay in the crowd to make sure they won't leave, but it also have this chill vibe with the music :D

Congratulation for finding this idea, I think the theme was not easy this year :O

After firing everyone, immediately hired them all back and payed more :D

I liked everything a lot - silly gameplay, funny graphics, and sounds… those sounds… why firing people sounded so satisfying, you didn’t have to do this haha

Thank you a lot, enjoyed it!

Hah very funny, I fired all my staff 2 months to go as i was at 150+ for everything - then we got bugs :D:D had to do a last minute hiring spree.

No real bad things to say it was fun!

The idea is really nice, and I especially love the vibe of the game, is really funny ! I got a bit overwhelmed between the shark's demands and managing the employees, but that's also what makes the game fun ! Good game

This is one of my favorite games of the Jam! At first I didn't understand it, then I did the unthinkable, I read the instructions XD. Loved the message, specially with what is happening in the industry. Sharkholders, loved it.

Good game, the quest are fully part of the gameplay, and the humour work well on me.

Arts are very cute, and i love they keep asking to fire people because can use AI to replace, 10/10

Very good ! The concept is very cool and fun !

Even if I got soft lock by hiring too much, having no money left,  and not be able to follow sharks orders xD

I love the art style and the vibe ! (gosh, that's so mean, you can fire people before paying them x) )
Congrats for creating this game on Godot ! ♥

I thought that only devs were needed to make a game, but then I got stuck with the mission... ^^' 

On the other hand, for my second game I managed to fill all the gauges above 150 but I only got a Fishycritic score of 60, I didn't really understand why? 

Very original idea, your game is a lot of fun and I really like your humour.
It’s a great game, congratulations !

This is great! A perfect match between a fun concept and some delightful art. The music fits so well, as the sound effects. It's juicy and finely polished. A very fun submission.
