Engaging storyline, non-buggy mechanics. Things work well.

Was funny and fun, I had to force close the exe but other than that good game.

mrtedders 2013-12-16 06:22

Well done, it was a good time. Great Job!

I had to force it close also, the game didn't end on me. It's twisted, but works well. No real challenge, just pure mayhem

Fun to pick up the items and run around the levels. However when I got to the "boss" I pressed Z to continue the instructions and it used my only bullet :( Awesome graphics and sound!

Sorry for the force close all. If you press the escape key a couple times it should close for you.

You can certainly feel Eugene pain here :D
The control a bit clunky and I can't tell whether other people will attack or run from you. Otherwise, I love the title screen (with the 'Z to return to work') and the art style.

I got these error on the floor right before the last floor:
ERROR in
action number 1
of Step Event
for object obj_guy:

Error in code at line 51:
if point_distance(x,y,instance_nearest(x,y,obj_ammo).x,instance_nearest(x,y,obj_ammo).y) < 16 {
^
at position 59: Unknown variable x

Also, I can't exit the game afterward, maybe related to error above?

Thanks for the bug report, that could be was what was causing the game to break. Made a couple tweaks, should be good.

Quite amusing. :D

It would have been nicer if there was a run button since moving was quite slow. Great dialogue system though! Really worked well I thought.

excellent!

(Played with Wine, worked without a glitch :-))

Hey thanks for the game, I enjoyed it! I liked that you don't really have to kill any of the other workers - they just run away. You beef is only with the boss.

There was one bug of note. The first time I entered the boss room, I switched to the gun. Then the dialog started, and I had to press "Z" to forward the dialog, but it also meant that my gun fired at the end before I was ready :-(

Cheers, and thanks for the game!

Fixed the early shooting bug for the boss fight, you can beat him up without the gun too! thanks for your patience

Wow, this was a fun play. I'll probably be playing this some more. The mechanics were flawless. The art was awesome. The fact that you could throw things was unexpected but freaking awesome. Well done!

I enjoyed this game. The audio was really fitting and well done, and the gameplay was pretty interesting. The only thing that bugged me was that, it seemed like it was impossible to lose before the boss. Overall, good job!

shatley123 2013-12-17 04:38

amazing

ambi 2013-12-17 06:38

"HaHa! Capitalism wins again!" Indeed. Cool settings and a solid game.

saintheiser 2013-12-17 13:54

Sorry, but this game boring as Hell.
But good and fun storyline =)

It will be great to see his colleagues more aggressive and with implementation of path finding algorithm. Otherwise, graphics and audio are awesome.

As an office worker, I know his pain.

Damn but this is good! Great graphics, great audio, and the dialogue is hilarious. Probably one of the most polished entries of this LD. My only nitpick is that the AI of the other office workers is a bit dumb. (Also, it would be great to have even more things to use as impromptu weaponry, but that would just be an additional goody; the game is perfectly good as it stands.)

I haven't beaten it yet, but I'll probably come back to it. Can't let the job creators win.

Very fun game and good use of the theme. The art style is crisp and clean, and the sfx and music fit the game well. It was a good length and did not get dull before it ended, and even managed a nice little story, which given the time constraints is great. Nice job! :D

kibertoad 2013-12-24 17:58

really nice presentation, great music, but somehow I prefer to kill targets that fight back. also it would look much better in a larger window.

onlyslightly 2013-12-28 07:18

Loved the mechanic of picking up and throwing objects. I felt kind of weird playing this game due to the theme though. I suppose that's what you expected. Great job!
