This ruled, and as an ADHD-haver (like many of us game dev types) it was all too relatable. Managing to stuff in 5 wheels, a mini OS, some fun writing and genuine introspective moments is a hell of a thing for a jam game, too. Nice and polished, clear communication of what the mechanic is, and a great throughline with the theme. Fantastic job.
excellent entry, synergizing disparate thematic messages through THE WHEEL. while maybe not the most fun game i played of the entries, one that will keep me thinking outside in my office job. great work! no bugs AFAIK
Fantastic entry. I love how the anxiety wheel just keeps spinning most of the time. It all feels too real. I think my only complaint is that the green parts of the wheel *increase* motivation and focus, but *decrease* pressure stress and anxiety, that confused me a bit... Eventually the game just stopped the music and emails, but the wheels were still playable. I dunno if that was intentional or not, but holy hell did it feel surreal, like not of this obsessing over work mattered. I had the game crash on me once though - be on the lookout for bugs.
"Did I take my meds today?" STOP- YES I DID. Did I? Yea.... Maybe I should get diagnosed with ADHD...
I’m thinking, on going back to this entry, I may change it to either a color-coded bar or something more “filled means good range, empty means bad range”.
There aren’t too many points where the game could crash, which may have something to do with the music and emails stopping; there should have been a fade-to-black game-over or day-end screen and that may be part of the crash.
yo this submission is great, got REALLY good at spinning many wheels. this could definitely be expanded upon, I can imagine more workplace scenarios. GREAT JOB WOO
...this one was, a lot lol. I wasnt super sure what I was doing managing all the wheels (whether I wanted the bars to go up or down) but the mood, music and atmosphere were all really great, I love the visuals and the polish of everything, it all feels super overwhelming which I gather is what you wanted, so great job!
It wasn't entirely clear how I was doing and everything seemed to stop at 4:00 PM but I felt the vibe and the vibe was powerful. And I got GOOD at spinning those wheels.

And I thought the horror games were stressful.

What browser and OS were you using?
I was using chrome on Windows!
If I ever re-create the issue, I'll check the console to see if there any errors there
Excellent entry! So many WHEELs. Accurate office job simulator :D

Nopenopenope. I got 3 emails in and got super stressed and quit.
Good job, I feel like you've successfully accomplished your vision.
A lot of wheeeels but still fun to track all of them in same time
