Nice one ! This was fun and I'm not sure to be proud to release the game in the first try, maybe too much experience in video game studio....

The developper paid me to say this game is really good.

This game is really good!

Oh man this was so fun to play! All of the reasons to hire and fire and me laughing out loud.

It took me a while to figure out that I could pay the people to make them happy instead of firing them. That seems to map pretty well to reality.

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

This is a really good game... dammmmmnn, you managed to do this in 4 \days

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!

Fun game, well polished, with a lot of humor :D

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!

Submitted(+1)

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.
