Robots are dying of dehydration/exhaustion although the boss-man specifically says they don't get tired - please fix!

This is a great game. And it's also informative which is also nice. One thing that I think could improve it is if you could permanently upgrade that one kid that you start with in every level.

A rather enjoyable game, and I must say the factoids in between each level are very eye-opening. It's nice to see a game with a message that isn't terrible. 5/5 for fun AND the message behind it. Nice work here.

I'm happy because the game is fun. I'm depressed because the of the factoids. I don't know what my feelings are doing. D: I hope there are factoids about who I can buy from that doesn't ruin people.

Worker: "OMG Thank you sir for the drink you the best boss EVER!!!" Boss: "... Shut up and get back to work you peice of rubbish."

You buy a radio or a fan and it only lasts for the day? Man, they make those things cheap... Could use a skill tree or something to make it more interesting, though that would only weaken the disguise of not being a tower defense...

Level 26 is such a pain in the ass. Needs luck in order to not get fires going early so you can actually meet the orders (hold off on getting fire officers because otherwise you can't afford to get the workers you need) and then because of the unevenness packers will sometimes miss perfectly good orders because they choose to go for the ones from the other line. Needs to be scripted more "distance from end" than "distance from start".

would be nice if vending machines automatically fed water/coke/juice to workers. no real point in clicking around every 30 seconds...

Hey Boss, if you didn't keep changing the factory layout and firing all my workers, we might actually get these orders done correctly

Absolutely fantastic with great character arcs for both the kid and the boss. One of the most impacting flash games I have ever played.

I fired the first kid and now he's not on any further level, yet he still takes part in the beginning-of-the-level conversation.

This game deserves a solid perfect score. Rarely is there a game that has everything done well or very well. From the game play to the music to the dialogue which was actually very well written & funny & entertaining. Along with tieing the game play & story into an overall meaningful message about the suffering & exploitation of those less fortunate then a lot of us...to the length of the game which was almost too long which I find rare to say about any flash game thats done so well. This game stands out for so many different reasons amongst the crowd of other games out there. Not only the bad but also the good ones too. This game is def something special in my opinion.

I loved the game! It's a tower defence really, similar to bloons tower defence, but it has it's own unique perks. For example, having to give the employees liquids, fans, heating, etc. The plot develops very well, and it's hilarious. Great game with a great message.

I appreciate the awareness you're spreading, but the mechanics here are a bit silly. It isn't at all clear when some workers are dehydrated. Then when it's finally called to your attention that they are dying, you can't upgrade them to fix it? And you can't move a water cooler from its spot? How heavy is that darn thing? Can't I just empower the workers to walk across the room to get water as needed? I mean, yeah, yeah, it's a game, there have to be mechanics, yada yada. But these mechanics are slightly on the obscure and unforgiving side. Good game concept regardless.

Instead of clicking your water tank and then clicking use, you can just double-click your water tanks to use them. Thumbs so others can see!

I like how you guys wrote all that information showing child labour as bad... but in the end i found out filling every spot possible on the belt with child labour and a few drinking machines is way more productive than higher educated adults.
I'm not supporting child labour or anything like that at all, just that i find it funny that the game tries to show child labour is bad, but in the end encouraging me to get as many of them as possible.

I only wish there was a "what can I do about this" link or something. This is an amazing storyline and really makes me upsett about the problem of sweatshop labor, but...what can I do to help?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@whatdoesthefox Uhh... you know that happens irl, right? Kids are forced to work in harsh conditions in poor countries. That's kind of the whole point of the game, to bring attention to that. Real life is "messed up", kid. Doesn't mean the game is saying that's good.

A hilariously gory game AND a strong humanitarian message with educational material to back it up? With great music, visuals, writing, level design, and gameplay??? I must be in gaming heaven.
5/5, one of the best games on the site.
