I really love the design and how cohesive it is across
I also really how you get a sentence between each new day, feels really polished!
Thanks! While I struggled a bit on WHAT to put in those sentences, I still felt pretty good about them being there. Appreciate you playing and leaving a comment!
I'm the bestest boss :^)
Fun little game, fitting the theme perfectly and loved the sound design!
Hope it was worth it:)
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you appreciate the sound! I always try hard to find or make things that fit the best I can.
I really liked the visuals and all effects put in the game. The idea for the theme is cool too. Great job !
Thank you so much taking the time to comment! I appreciate the kind words and glad you liked what you saw.
I'm a mediocre boss! (I think that makes me feel better)
Bravo to you for the idea and for putting it all together.
I really liked the little detail of the “no” button in the menu that drops when you click on it (after all, if you've got time within 3 hours for that kind of detail, why deprive yourself!).
The drop of the button was something I was actually going to use in the main gameplay but I didn't end up liking how that looked during the whole game sooooo I snuck it into the title menu anyway:)
Thanks for the kind words and I appreciate you playing!
Good call to not show if stats will go up or down, just which ones will be affected, making it so you actually have to think about your decisions, and I was pleasantly suprised multiple times when my decisions backfired ("Let's have pizza, yaaay"). The art was pleasant to look at and music was fitting. Well done!
Thank you! I really wish I would've had more time to write some actual clever dialogue, but I tried my best to use my unfortunate PERSONAL history within the retail industry to good use:) Glad you enjoyed it!
I thought the dialogue was great honestly! Now I'm curious what you would have done with more time.
I am a mediocre boss!! awesome game !! :)
Being a mediocre boss is PERFECTLY okay in my book! Thank you for playing!
With a theme like this one, I was waiting for your submission haha xD Great job as always! The gameplay reminds me a bit of the game Lapse. The art by you and the "No" button in the menu are perfect ^^ I managed to get all the possible endings. Thanks for letting me experience management, I'm lucky there is no glass ceiling in video games :P
Honestly when I saw the theme I felt OBLIGATED to at least try to put together something. I'd never heard of "Lapse" before but after looking it up I saw that it's based on the gameplay of Reigns. And Reigns, without a doubt, was definitely where I was borrowing the core idea from. So thanks for successfully adding ANOTHER game to my backlog:)
I'm humbled and appreciative that you went through the game multiple times and it's always my pleasure to offer interactive experiences about our completely healthy and functional capitalist system. Let us all continue to please the employers forever.
