Your english is not very good and that's really annoying in a typing game, your graphics looked decent though.

I like the nice blend of the typing mechanic alongside the meta-game options of 'feed the dog'..etc. Music didn't seem fitting but otherwise good job!

Really liked it! I don't know if you made those typos on purpose, but I would get rid of them.

I laughed a lot at some of the texts you had to write :)
It's funny in some ways but not very enjoyable to just mash buttons.

This is epic! I love every single aspect of it, exept I don't see how the theme applies to it.

It was a good match for the theme but I found that it was to easy to get money with you could just use two letters instead of five.

An amusing little game!
I forgot about the mafia halfway through so I didn't have enough money (but had a gun...)

Nice music and funny events! For some reason I think the broken English added to the charm.

As to "type this" games, they're not too sophisticated and I'm not too fond of this mechanic.

I bought a gun but then went crazy after not sleeping! You should call this "ludum dare simulator" haha.

I thought this game was hilarious. By far the funniest thing that I've seen so far (although i suspect most games are not really attempting humor). Very novel and fun. Great job.

By the time I got to the end, I had completely forgotten about the mafia and was quite happy about having something like 8000 in the bank, having spent loads of money on trivial things :)
Really funny game, especially because of you always writing humorously and without caps and punctuation, and with the occasional charmingly misspelled word. Super take on the conecpt - the connection between the working world and the non-working world, and between the mafia life and the everyday life. Well done!

hey! great game, I enjoyed it. played it for about 30 minutes. accidentally killed both the dog and the cat on my first round ;( I liked the "typing" sound.

nice amount of humor and a good concept! :)

btw, for the web version, the game played perfect for me when I right-clicked and selected "Full screen", maybe you should include that in the instructions?

cheers!
