office tycoon ftw
plz web build)) and GL
looks good! I had fun. Agreed with kiril web build would be good to get more eyes on!
Pretty funny concept, and definitely something for aliens to consider. The controls were a little buggy and it was too easy to get stuck on walls. The gameplay basically boiled down to how fast you could press X, which is a lazy mechanic IMO. Other kinds of minigames would work better in this situation if you had more time to develop it. My high score was 1.76985 * 10^7! That's the highest in any game I've ever played! The game felt fairly balanced.
If it beatable? I tried it multiple times, even used exploits like sliding during the healing, but still couldn'y get everything done before the time ran out. The idea is great though. I think there's a potential for another Octodad-type game here.
Love the story idea :)
The controls are a bit finicky, for example, you cannot walk diagonally anymore if you hit an obstacle, you will only continue in the direction that did not encounter an obstacle.
Also, whenever you complete a task, the character seems to freeze for a few seconds before he can start moving again. Is that voluntary? If so, maybe have some sort of feedback that we cannot move right ahead.
Which this brings me to my next point, it would be nice if it had some sort of sounds, anything works, even a simple click. This is just so that the player feels rewarded for his actions.
Lastly, I think there is a bug with the interactions, if you move while interacting, the interaction happens and the whole loading UI is ongoing, but you're still moving. I used this to my own advantage so I can interact with bacteria covered objects without getting infected because I was walking away towards my next objective at the same time.
Neat UI with the whole room names :) Fun game to play nonetheless! Good Job!
Thanks for the comments! -The game is beatable, but it is rather hard, the way is to go first to the Meeting room and do everything there since it is the hardest task -Thanks for all the bug reports, will try to patch as many as I can as soon as I can -Unfortunatelly I just ran out of time to implement any sound / music :C -The freeze after using each object is meant to be , but it definetely needed some feedback
Cool concept for a game! I had fun playing it because of the wonky bugs. One tip to fix the bug where he just keeps on going when interacting with stuff is to set his velocity to 0:
if(interacting) rigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(0,0)
Great tip @oliverlevay ! will fix it tonight when I get home, tnx!
Good job! It is a fun game, and I almost beat it too! I agree with Tiberiusuciu, sound would definitely make a great addition. Also, thanks for the feedback on my game.
It's a fun game, so good job. The difficulty seemed to scale well and the premise is enjoyable.
It would have been interesting to hear some sound as the alien performed human tasks. But understandably, sound can be hard.
I don't generally enjoy clicker games, but I think you did a good job on this game. Well done.
I'm not a very clever man.

Congratulations on making it to the compo! That sounds like a lot of pressure, so I wish you good luck!
Given the conditions, this is rather impressive. The game looks and controls alright, although it gets a bit sluggish at certain moments. Still, content wise, it's a challenging time management collect-a-thon of sorts. I ended up more often than not deciding to procrastinate cleaning myself, and ended up with an impossibly slow character. No one to blame but myself on that one :P
Keep the good work coming! Here's hoping this game lives up to your expectations. Our team wishes you the best of luck! :whale:
Really nice use of the theme, needs animations! Really cool
Great game! I scored 2329813 =D
fun intro and setting, blend in with the humans in their natural setting. nice work given the short time of the compo: pixel art character and the bacteria effects on the office stuff. I found a way to leverage that bug where the guy keeps moving, he leaves the bacteria zone and takes less. My first attempt, I scored 2902872 so i am champion of the comments! :D
Excellent job capturing the monotony of office life. Bacteria was a cool use of the theme as well!
I think a minimap of some sort would be useful, because I didn't understand where I was supposed to go.
Also, perhaps you can change the color of medkits after they have been used? That would make it easier to keep track fo which ones you have used and which ones you have not.
I really like the concept, though. Well done!
Nice concept, but it is a bit too simple. Too bad there is no sound nor animations.
Nice little game and concept; it could use a bit more polish, but else it is good :)
Neat idea! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktW2lunXI_s
