Corporate day feels like a loop, stuck in a loop because you die and play the same level again

Loved it! Reminds me of old-school flash games, really enjoyed!

Really fun concept. Had a fun time finding new items to progress further. The items constantly moving broke my brain haha. I’d love the pen to have a slightly faster cooldown but otherwise good fun!

It took me a few loops to figure it out, but the concept of gaining abilities based on how you die it really cool. The art looks good and the abilities fit nicely to their deaths. I was feeling clever when I realized I could just run past most enemies... right up until the boss health bar did it's thing. That was a nice twist. Overall a really strong concept and a pretty fun game.

I didn't encounter any bugs, and the only point of frustration was janitors making puddles right on top of you while you are punching them. Those unavoidable hits encourage relying on the pen, but the pen's slow cooldown (which it should have for balance) makes that a tradeoff between fun and optimal play. If there was more counterplay when fighting janitors it would help encourage a more fun playstyle.

Love the art direction on this game ! 
Is there a way to avoid the "slippery floor" signs or the distance attacks ? I always loose a lot of lives there

if you stay still at the beginning, you die of overworking. What you get might help you.

A nice concept! The art is nice, the other mechanics are a little odd. The weapon buttons keep changing after every death so it is hard to keep track of them. Overall nice game!

that's intentional, if you got used to using one key for a specific thing, you'd be confused after you get the 4th one and it shifts.

Amazing concept!! The first run I didn't understand nothing but as soon as I died it was pretty clear how the core loop would go. I think is an idea that can be expanded a lot. Nice one!

This game is so creative omg. I love that u can mix and match ur abiltilies by dying to different things. The default controls feel a little awkward since the order of abilities keeps on changing, but its nice that u can quickly switch your keybinds.

I wanted to throw the chair but this guys just rips it out of my hands and kills me.  It's a bit annoying that you can get killed while going up a floor, but besides that nice game great job!

I killed a janitor and felt bad about it. Immediately got punished by upper management for it. Great experience, would loop an office job again
