Job Island: Hard Working People

Ever since I saw the trailer for this game the same time Kororinpa 2 was announced I've been looking forward to playing it. So I picked it up just yesterday evening after work.

 

The storyline is crazy and bizzare and presented via comic book strip like images. A Meteor is going to attack the Earth the President doesn't care he just wants to picnic with his date, the NAZA science station is destroyed and now only your gramps can see the oncoming thread via his telescope on the roof. He digs out some old work unifom for you to use in various jobs. You check the computer each day to apply for 1 job and hope to earn some money.

 

A lot of people will likely just call it another mini game collection focused on completing different jobs, and yes that would be simple description of the game. By playing the same Jobs you increase your experience with lets you rank up and earn more money in that given job. There are 3 ranks to each Job Novice, Pro and Expert, once you earn enough experience in Expert you can take the Master Exam. The master exam is a tough challenge to earn a set amount of money in a strict time limit.

 

The cash earned can be spent on your Shopping network channels. There are 4 Channels to choose from:

 

Uniform Channel-Buy more Uniforms to try new jobs.

Support Channel-Buy items that have a 1 time use in jobs. They basically make each job a little easier-VERY useful when used in Expert ranked jobs

Memory Channel-Allows you to buy items that are job related to be displayed in a Hall of Memory. Your Gramps will expand, and improve the Hall of Memory as you progress in the game

Points Channel-Each Purchased item on the other 3 Channels will let you earn points. Normally 5-10% of the cost of an item. The points spent in this channel are on items that either delay the arrival of the Meteor (current thread) OR to attack it. Items include a Scary face to slow the Meteor by 3 days or a Super Space fan to delay it by 21 days! Attack items are wacky and crazy, Fireworks, Toy Roborts and Steel Volleyballs to name a few.

 

At first it's pretty simple to work all week long (6 days) you always rest on Sunday and visit the shopping channel to buy something to take on the latest thing in the sky. But later battles are tough, sometimes you only have 3 days to start with before the earth is doomed, and you have to take a day off work in the week to buy something to help slow your current doom.

 

The Family are all pretty crazy and there are little breaks (mini stories everytime you half the current threads HP. It's well worth checking out.
