Fun game, works well with the music choice. Not sure what the combined genres were.

I thought I'd be clever and ride the sidewalk, I wasn't clever. Addicting and very well done!

haha! I liked when you hit a car, really dramatic with the screams. I think it would be easy at first but was pleasantly surprised. Well done. Cheers!

Fun game! But it was a bit frustrating that I kept dying xD Still, pretty good job!

Great job! It's quite tough but that's exactly how hangovers feel, isn't it ? xD Nice music!

Cool game !

Simple concept but well implemented, and pretty funny.

I liked the tutorial through the UI on the first level. It just lasted a bit long in my opinion. Perhaps a bit of tweening (scaling, blinking, you name it) when it appears to get the player's attention and then it fades away after 10 seconds or so ?

The music fit well, and in the level in the office the red dudes in the beginning spawn in sync with the tune. In don't know if that was on purpose but it was really cool XD.

I feel like the game could do with a bit more juiciness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg) like particle effect explosion when two cars collide and such. (then again you never have enough juiciness :P ).

Good job guys !

Woah, what a rush! Not sure if it was me but it looks like I had to press start twice to get going and took me a bit to see who I was so I died soon after the beginning but after that it was on! The collision boxes seems a little too big the player and I would recommend maybe adding a "lanes" I can switch to instead of free floating. I think that would make the experience more fair. Nice work

Loved it. One of the few games I've played with a little variety in the level progression. The music, sound effects and art style all made for a great experience. Good work.

Funny and polemic idea :) Had a blast playing it and im sure there is a lot of work behind.

I absolutely adore this game, if only because of the Spongebob (I think?) music. Playing it was genuinely hilarious and challenging, and I liked the variety in levels. Honestly, this is the first game so far that I genuinely wanted to replay... for whatever reason!

But there are some things I'd change: in particular the juiciness and fairness and of the game. As others have said, it'd have been better perhaps to have more feedback to how the player behaves, like making the coworkers do the Metal Gear Solid sound when they spot you or something like that. And fairness - in traditional bullet hell games the player's and the bullets' (in this case coworkers') hitboxes are actually much, much smaller than you'd think. Ideally the player's hitbox would be just slightly bigger than their head, so they could pull off manouvers like moving between cars and only died if they were hit head-on. There also weren't many times when I could wade past the crowds coming at me without having the line-of-sight people wanna chase after me. There usually isn't enough space to pass through.

Haha, loved the game and the music! Maybe a bit too easy, I got to work on my first try. Great work!
