The best game out there! Truly unique and captivating. A must play.

wdias921 2015-08-25 04:19

I really wish I could do this to my coworkers! Especially a guy named Harry!

tweedle 2015-08-25 04:23

Dark.
A nice way to blow off some steam.
Really enjoyed the music and camera effect.
Also liked the random "bullet tornadoes" that occur.

thepattybeast 2015-08-25 04:32

Awesome game really fun to play. I like the direction you took with the fantasy of being a monster i like when you do back to the real world the people you killed are alive. Also that is the bast game over screen i have ever seen.

I think the rage mode camera zooming in and out could have been toned down a little. Also you should name you download something like 'OfficeHours_win.rar' like you did with the exe.

the art and sound is really good as well.

I can't download the OS/X file. Drive shows it as a folder instead of a file. You might need to zip it first.

a_k_ 2015-08-25 04:38

That's how we hate office work. Thou game need more ingame feedback or something.

valid4life 2015-08-25 04:43

@Thepattybeast
The files should be renamed now!

@ripter
I have zipped up the OS/X files!

Just tried the Windows build, but unfortunately I think it's broken. I spawned way outside of the map and couldn't get inside

thesambassador 2015-08-25 05:49

Pretty well put together! The sound and graphics specifically stand out quite a lot. I found the camera zoom to the soundtrack kinda annoying. I also liked the projectiles and how they sort of curved?

walaber 2015-08-25 05:49

OS/X build wouldn't work for me. downloaded and un-rar'ed, tried to run the .app, "Office Hours.app couldn't be opened". this is on OS/X 10.10.5

gquibao 2015-08-25 05:54

Well, I'm facing the "placed in black nothingness" bug everytime I try to play :/

I could fool around a little bit even outside the room and it was pretty fun, too bad it didn't work properly.

Congratulations guys!

pixzleone 2015-08-25 06:03

Really cool graphics and music! I like it!

jnyknn 2015-08-25 07:02

The game concept seems interesting, but the gameplay is broken: the player moves to one direction automatically even if I have released all the keys. Made it a bit hard to play.

conradte3 2015-08-25 07:11

Holy crap! The visuals and music are awesome, made even better by the contrast between the two modes. Really fun going on a rampage like that too, bullets flying, bodies everywhere

gnuwilliam 2015-08-25 17:24

Good game!

congusbongus 2015-08-26 09:13

nice

rothens 2015-08-26 09:20

'twas fun :) The camera zooming is kinda annoying, but the game itself is still enjoyable ^^

wg_phancock 2015-08-26 09:40

I actually really liked the zooming effect with the beat on the rage mode. I thought it made it more interesting and blood-pumping.

The two songs between the different modes were perfect opposites.

It would have been cool to have a couple of different weapons you could switch to, and maybe a mini-map to help you find your way to the co-workers.

onlyslightly 2015-08-28 03:30

The bullet effects and paths they took were amazing! It was a lot of fun going into rage mode. I loved the total top down view. And the change of music and color scheme when transforming into rage mode.

emmelineprufrock 2015-08-28 03:34

Interesting concept and good execution.

_waterman7_ 2015-08-29 19:37

Well, that was surprisingly satisfying. I didn't quite get how the rage-mode worked but it was fun nontheless.
Loved the music and visual feedback. Great contrast between "boring"- and "rage"-mode. Good job!
Also, that bullet behaviour is amazing :D

cosmic5 2015-08-29 19:41

Those bullets are so cool!

crucknuk 2015-08-29 19:49

Really good graphics and audio! Good job ;)

gracicebola 2015-08-29 20:03

Pretty effects and colors, loved the music. Fun game, congrats :D

Shadow 2015-08-29 20:08

Quite trippy, haha.
It's definitely a nice and fun game with awesome music and good graphics. The mood was definitely well set in both "modes".

A really solid entry indeed. Great work!

coumn 2015-08-29 21:13

Love the flow! Graphic and sound are great! Good job! (:

lukbebalduke 2015-08-30 01:37

Good idea and cool execution, everything were very polished, but I did not undestend well why I was loosing.
Overall, Congrats =)

kaiseangames 2015-08-30 06:25

That boss surely is invincible :p

testlab 2015-08-30 07:08

Tried it on Linux, but i couldn't control the character. The only thing i could do was to start him walking, and pressing c for rage mode. He just kept walking in the same direction until he collided with walls.

aevek 2015-08-30 08:48

Cool game! I loved the transition between boring greyscale and mad colorful mayhem. I would have preferred the camera to be pulled out slightly further from the player, but since that was my only real gripe I'd say great job!

chaosmore 2015-08-30 10:00

Some of the design choices aren't really working together, the music is implying I'm in some sort of roller coaster ride and I'm slowly walking around shooting one or two person at a time. I feel it would be better that enemy horde is swarming at you and you just fire blindly at them. Camera zooming too much is fine for me, but it's unsync to gameplay, I feel it would be better if the camera zooming is used as feedback to how many enemies you killed.

cjke-7777 2015-08-31 06:53

Holy cow, that was full on. Really liked it, felt very polished. Well done

denis347 2015-08-31 18:10

Great game, really fun to play! Nice graphics and music as well.

tsn_rampage 2015-08-31 23:25

Loved Rage Mode!! Great game, I really enjoyed the music!

colinn 2015-08-31 23:28

You got the typical frustrated worker one-off phrases well

mykaelos 2015-09-01 21:03

Fun game! I was a little confused when my rage would runout, but I guess it was because I was spraying bullets everywhere. The zoom effect on the beat was excellent and definitely made it more intense, but it was kind of giving me motion sickness towards the end there. Well done!

nihilaleph 2015-09-03 00:39

Pretty neat idea! Bored vs. rage was great! The graphics were cool and music was awesome! The bullets were cool, but I didn't get what was going on ^^; Zooming too was cool, but it was a bit annoying for me...
I didn't quite understand the boss battle... too many bullets flying, didn't understand how I died xp

Oh a restart button would be great!

steboots 2015-09-03 01:03

Great programming, that's what I have to say. I was a little disappointed when it was black and white, guess what, boom. Rage = color. Game play was smooth, I didn't run into any bugs, nice submission!

xanjos 2015-09-03 10:14

The camera tweening during rage mode could be toned down a bit but this was a very fun entry and I loved the transition from monochrome to full colour.

druid 2015-09-04 08:02

Lol :D Great entry! Controls were nice, music pretty fitting. That heartbeat effect was little strong for my eyes
All in all, Pretty neat entry!

ajayajayaj 2015-09-05 16:07

Awesome! Can you please try my game out again because I fixed the bug. Thanks!

bombjack 2015-09-07 18:08

very nice soundtrack

Stxvxn 2015-09-08 03:57

<3 beautiful

powerspark 2015-09-12 21:29

Are the bullets supposed to turn into bee swarms? xD

general 2015-09-13 10:46

Switching to rage mode is great! That's why many game developers are indie and don't work at offices :)

Please, check the video of me playing and commenting: https://youtu.be/CEXUUzwEAa8
Your game is at 48:57

valid4life 2015-09-13 14:36

Thanks @General! That was awesome to watch :)
