I haven't made it past hour three yet because the game keeps crashing for me. Here is the stacktrace I am getting:

utils.lua:170: attempt to index a nil value (field 'img')
stack traceback:
  utils.lua:170: in field 'timeEndedCallback'
  CoreLibs/timer.lua:292: in local 'callEndedCallback'
  CoreLibs/timer.lua:315: in field 'updateTimers'
  libraries/noble/Noble.lua:359: in function <libraries/noble/Noble.lua:337>

I could never pass hour 6 but I will keep trying! Love this concept and have loved all of your games!

Thanks man! I think it may very well be impossible to get past hour 6, so I've updated the game now to have a difficulty slider. Also, I think I prefer the name you gave it 'your boss is calling' so I've nabbed it  😁

Fun little game! Thank you. My playdate seems to crash when trying to start a new game after losing or on initial launch sometimes. Just a heads up :)

Thanks for the heads up and kind words! When I get my PD I'll try to debug it, really difficult to debug these crashes from the sim alone unfortunately.

Hi Osuika,

I can't find the launcher in the game file.

Hey there! What do you mean by launcher (I dont have a playdate yet- what type of file are you looking for)?

Can't believe I caught this so soon after upload! Having a lot of fun figuring out how to master the cursor, and your art direction is second-to-none, as always. Current record is eight hours – feeling incredibly motivated to get that parrot friend!

Thanks man! I haven't made it past 6 hours myself 💀 tbh I thought there were only 8 hours total- so, erm.. yeah I will need to look into that (my guess- I made an off by one error somewhere). Really appreciate the kind words and donation :)
