Cute little game! The game doesn't encourage you to move much. I can win most of the fights just by drawing enemies to me and then smashing attack buttons. That being said, the game is still fun to play.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I was noticing on my runs it can be pretty easy to win without much effort; unfortunately a product of restarting to make a new entry 3ish days before the end date lol.

I do have some ideas though to make moving more encouraged and rewarded! Hoping to roll them out in an update or two post-voting.

Windows version flagged as a virus :(. Most likely false positive but Im not willing to take the risk. Id reach out for a ticket to see if you can get a version without this warning. I would also add some screenshots of gameplay as this will make people more likely to contextually take the risk if they see proof of unique gameplay. Would be a shame if this game doesnt get played much because of this. I think windows is the most popular version right? 

Developer

It's weird since I always package my files to avoid easy trips of false positives. I'll have to check into it and will update the page more!
I do have a full playthrough video here as well: 

And I would assume it's the most popular, I run Linux and I even usually grab Windows versions to run with Wine/Proton lol

I enjoyed this game, but there needs to be an explanation of the controls somewhere. I had to press every key on the keyboard at random before finally finding Z to attack.

Developer

Thanks for playing! And yeah that was a pretty big forget at the end. I'll add it in real quick to the description.

Hey! Just wanted to say there's some bugs that potentially may break your experience!

If you've defeated all the enemies but the round doesn't end. Check the right side of the office; there seems to be a spawn point that's trapping an enemy or two.

Also if you die you'll need to restart the game and if you finish a full run you'll also likely have to. I didn't reset the story progressor after a run ends which messes up the entire system. The game should still run fine but only for a single run at the moment :(

Controls
Z/West Button is Light Attack
X/North Button is Heavy Attack
Arrow Keys/Joystick/D-Pad to move
