Very nice!  I always enjoy games-as-art, something with a message.  I love the contrast from the inviting home, through the bland "JOB" building, then into the completely lifeless rat maze within.

Fun game with a satire! I love it's simplicity, the art and the way the story presents itself, fun to think about while playing :)

This is a funny and clever game. I dig the cynical take on capitalism, the single fenced path you can take, which only leads to work, and I like that there are 8 coins to collect (8 hours in a workday?). 

I only played through 1 "day" because its a bit tedious to do more, but that's work for ya. 

Thanks for playing! Your assessment of the coin count is spot-on.
