I got sacked like a boss, do I feel happy or sad :p

zillix 2014-12-09 03:32

Hahaha, great game! The theme was well-executied, and the characters had some awesome personalities and neat rooms. Awesome work.

samfreeman05 2014-12-09 03:33

I loved it, and i've been laughing so hard after the ending. Great Job

jcsirron 2014-12-09 03:35

"Sacked" Lol! I really enjoyed how you keep getting sent everywhere. Each person had a great personality.

pkenney 2014-12-09 03:37

Great job on the art and humor. I'm not really a fan of the narrative zero-decision games myself so I can't really comment on the fun.

sinistragames 2014-12-09 04:03

Pkenney: We had so many ideas, with events and multiple choices but time got the better of us : ) Thanks for your reply!

I like it! Pretty funny dialogue, and nice graphics. I got sacked though, I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if thats just how the game goes. It'd be cool to see it extended into a full game.

muush 2014-12-09 05:54

Good stuff!

bkgh 2014-12-09 05:56

Lol, I loved the story based gameplay!
If you're making this into a full game, branching conversations might be a nice addition.

ege 2014-12-09 05:59

pretty fun game !

mutatedsoftware 2014-12-09 05:59

The only problem is it leaves me wanting more. Nice work :)

binarybot 2014-12-09 05:59

Interesting.... I think it got a bit repetitive, and I felt like clicking off because I did the same thing over and over... although thats abit of a pity because I know it was meant to be to lead up to the last scene. It also didn't feel like a game because I couldn't really make any choices, there were just tasks. On the other hand, the music was good and I adore your awesome pixel style. Interesting game!

sinistragames 2014-12-09 06:09

Mixer: Trust me, we had so many event planned. So that you could have failure and win-situations. There just wasn't enough time. Thanks for your critique!

imaginarymonsters 2014-12-09 19:16

Super fun and funny. Despite limitations you mentioned your crew got a lot in! Well done.

gladers 2014-12-09 20:32

I loved it, incredible job well done with design and execution. The characters really felt immersive and unique (a bit like the IT crowd boss). Definitely going to recommend this game!

selfishgenome 2014-12-09 21:10

Another great one for humour, and overlays, why did I not think overlays, so much more use of one screen!!!

sinistragames 2014-12-09 21:21

We really appreciate all your comments. And we promise to get around to checking out your game if you comment as well! If we receive, we give back... That sounds very manly, I'll stick with that.

lukezaz 2014-12-09 21:21

Great game. Enjoyed the dialogue a lot and pixel art was very good.

mrhill 2014-12-10 13:53

Hi sinistragames, you commented on my game dating you didnt understand why my game puddle maker fit the theme. Hope you understod that the entire gameworld is visible all the time. Things to your left is also found if you go right ;-) awesome game btw

gallerdude 2014-12-10 14:21

Nice characters!

wayward 2014-12-10 14:53

Nice game!
Great art, great story and great idea

rocketship 2014-12-10 14:53

Fun narrative but there's not much game in here unfortunately (I wanted Frank to pull out a gun and start a rampage at the office in the end :(). I enjoyed the dialogue a great deal though and the music was good. With some work this could become very interesting as you have a good concept with good characters.

sinistragames 2014-12-10 15:00

Rocketship: Yes, unfortunately we didn't have time to put in some typical adventure gamey aspects. Like picking up stuff, interacting with objects in the room, etc. We are still considering working on this game in post. :) Thank you for review!

tzeroth 2014-12-10 15:01

I loved the game and development. I toyed with it after beating, and discovered you can replay in any way or order. :B
Anyway, the game is awesome. Really.

pjimmy 2014-12-10 15:03

nice, very funny, love the visuals

sinistragames 2014-12-10 15:08

TZeroth: This never happened *jedi-mind-trick*

shellfishgames 2014-12-11 13:53

So much hilarity! Man those characters, couldn't stop laughing about Carl and Olaf and Steve waiting for his desk. :D

superdisk 2014-12-12 16:59

Kinda funny, it reminds me of a game I once made.

d3garcia 2014-12-13 03:00

I don't know if they were trolling me but it is a excellent entry!

cakencode 2014-12-13 03:01

I loved that after I got sacked I could keep playing the game behind the message, managed to get DOUBLE SACKED! :)

tater_hater 2014-12-13 03:04

made me lol

sinistragames 2014-12-13 11:59

Cake&Code: Haha, Sackception. A sack within a sack ; )

mrbadivan 2014-12-13 17:54

I like the humor of the game's story=)

hissssssssss 2014-12-13 18:05

It's clearly not finished, and super linear as a result, but I like what you have. I would have loved to spend more time with these characters to see how they interact. And your art is fantastic!

lovelock 2014-12-16 08:24

SACKED! Haha. This was great. Reminds me of the old AGI studio style games. Groovy music too. Poor Frank.

aranscope 2014-12-16 17:49

I really likes the characters too, good humor man :)

orangeez 2014-12-16 21:45

That was a fun little entry, well done!

datamosh 2014-12-22 16:43

It's super short but really enjoyed them. I love the humor.

diegohenriquez 2014-12-25 00:40

Excellent job, guys: I like what you managed to pull off in only a few short days. The characters are distinct and interesting, both in their design and through their discussions. I hope you continue to work on this game or explore adventure titles further in the future!

rojo 2014-12-26 10:58

Nice work with the graphics and the dialog! I realize time is a factor, but I do wish there was more 'game' to be had.

belstras 2014-12-26 13:50

I didn't get the job, damn. Funny game, the music fits.
