Very cool multi-tasking game! Wonderful representation of "job" being repetitive and your dreams being hard to catch! :D Fits the theme perfectly and is quite challenging! Great work!

You did a very good job balancing both sides of the game, making them both easy and difficult at the same time

Thanks :)

Hi!
It is a nice game. A bit confusing at first, but I later got the hang of it. I think it trained me to become ambidextrous lol.
The UI could be improved a bit, the different segments felt like 2 separate games in themselves and not part of one whole.
I got to 47 Butterflies and 138 Boxed Things.

Developer

That sounds like a lot of butterflies and boxes! :)

The Concept Was Really Unique. Albeit really depressing at some times xD. But still, the concept was good and I liked it.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

At first it seems like catching the butterflies will be hard, but once you master the controls, it is the boxes work that defeat you lol Got 22 butterflies and 57 boxes, defeat by losing the job.

You have some kind of border/frame around your game, it would be interesting to see it shrink as you lose the will to live (maybe a little to dark... )

Maybe the box work could be easier (replenish more) and then change the butterflies to be harder as that was the more interesting part of the game. Maybe multiple butterflies at once if that was the case.

Oh, and sounds. It would feel nice to have some for the boosters or collecting butterflies

Developer

Yeah, it'd be cool for the difficulty to ramp up in interesting ways, but I didn't have time so I just opted to have that speed at which bars decrease escalate with time.

The game's already pretty dark, I think.

Thanks for the feedback :)
