Good game, very well made little to say about anything!
The only problem i find with this game is where is the boss fight? gotta say that for me the game was too difficult therefore I stopped at the floppy disks task. So I think i've missed the boss for this reason.
Again, nothing else to point out, very solid submission 👍

EVERYTHING! Against your face

ɴᴛɴᴛɴʟᴅᴍɢDeveloper152 days ago

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. Actually, you've almost made it through the entire game as the floppy disk task was the final task. In the epilogue we have indeed put what we consider the boss moment of our game, though it's more of a humourous plot twist than an actual fight.

Hey guys,

Congrats on the game, it was very funny to play, easy to understand and everything look so smooth.

The idea was also amazing.

The map feature in the wall was awesome

Hi! Thank you very much. I'm glad that you liked our game.

Really funny experience. The theme goes very well and while the place seems a bit confusing at first when checking the map everything gets better. Surely you've caught the frustrating aspect of having last minute requests after a long day (and that's a good feature lol). Great work!

Really happy that you enjoyed it. Thank you for playing😄

I love the office design, great posters and mazy feel. I’m very glad there were evacuation maps so I could get any idea where I was.

Lots of fun and appreciated the audio!

I like this, but I didn't fully get it. It got more and more laggy; eventually I started teleporting and the camera was all over the place.

Sorry to hear that, if you are on windows can you try the downloadable version and tell us if that is better? Small warning,: the game does not have exit menu so you have to exit the game by ALT+F4.

The game is genuinely fun, but honestly, the itch page is great too. I loved all the small details like the coffee pantone, gives the whole project a lot of personality.

The only thing that is not plausible is the premise itself: a CEO would NEVER EVER throw money at employees like that, he would find literally any other way to waste it first, even by burning them.

Still, really enjoyable overall. I’d definitely appreciate having a map, though.

Me, Myself & THE BOSS (jam edition)

Voice acting is hilarious. Amazing idea of shooting money at your employees lol. Sound design is also very nice. I've had some problems at first understanding where to go, maybe a map in the starting office would be nice, because it took me some time to find the first map, so I was just roaming around cluelessly. Overall, very fun and polished game.

Submitted

These damn heroes…

ɴᴛɴᴛɴʟᴅᴍɢDeveloper154 days ago(+1)

Thank you for your kind feedback! Now that you've mentioned it, it seems quite obvious that a map in the executive office would be a great way to guide the player to his first objective. I appreciate it.

DialmeSubmitted155 days ago(+2)

Throwing cash at employees to shut them up ? That's something I didn't know I NEEDED ! I'm glad I checked it :thumbsup: . Voice acting is awesomeee, I wanted a "boss/ceo" game soooo bad, thanks for releasing this masterpiece :pray: . I'm very bad at localising where I am, where I have to go, but surprisingly I found my way (or so I think?). Music/sound design fits the vibe and was nice, gameplay too. I enjoyed the game ! Good job employees!

What gready employees...

Wow! Thanks for the in-depth review. I totally get you, my orientiation in video games is awful, too. But I'm glad you had no trouble finding yourself around our office.

I think some visual feedback of the money being extracted from you when you are captured. but team mate and I were laughing our heads off at the kids voice talking to the dad. Nice game. hope you guys/gals had fun like we did playing it. :) keep working on it for the lol's

ɴᴛɴᴛɴʟᴅᴍɢDeveloper155 days ago

Thank you very much for the feedback! And yes, we had a blast making it and are very happy that you guys enjoyed playing it, as well.

This is a pretty good game! I really like the concept and the alternative interpretation of the theme! I think its great. The concept is funny and cool, the art is well done, voice acting is also hilarious and fits the tone of the game and its overall a well executed idea.
Here are some points of improvements:
- The full screen version of the browser was quite laggy and the FPS was pretty low only on the Fullscreen version
- Maybe this is just my horrible sense of navigation but I kept getting lost (even though there was a map) so maybe having a map accessible at all times might help? But that might just be a skill issue from my side😅
Other than that I thought it was a great game! So good job on this game jam entry :D

Webgl is harder to optimize but we did our best, there should not be a big difference between full screen and in window play. Can I learn your PC specs and browser?It is ok if you don't want to give them. There is also a windows version which will be definitely more performant but you can exit the game only with ALT+F4.

You are right about the navigation but we simply did not have enough time to implement an UI that you can open whenever you want.

JustSomePikachuSubmitted155 days ago(+1)

Yeah I understand the webGL optimization😅, and also the map not being able to be added, it is a game jam after all 😁.
For some reason it performs a lot better when in window mode compared to Fullscreen though, might just be my laptop.
My PC Specs:
RTX 3050
16GB RAM
12th Gen i5-12500H

Hope that helps!

100/10 dude this game is SO GOOD, its so funny and the voice lines are even more funny, because you can tell its just the same dude pulling a voice XD. I wish that the workers pulled corny office jokes whenever you get spotted, but even without it, this game deserves to be on Steam, like I would pay money for this if it had multiplayer.

Submitted

Good Through Bad

ɴᴛɴᴛɴʟᴅᴍɢDeveloper156 days ago(+1)

Thank you ever so much! The corny joke thing is actually a fire idea and I think it would suit the overall vibe of the game very well.

WibswatySubmitted156 days ago(+1)

PLEASE continue this game I will purchase or play or whatever THIS IS A GEM!!!!!!

noahofthesuzukiSubmitted156 days ago(+3)

So this is what happens when a team gets together and makes something. This game is very entertaining with the audio changes, the money flying everywhere, the money grenades, the initial menu ui , the extra detail in the office etc.

Could be made more difficult by having the ai run faster.

The voice acting is why this game should win

Submitted

ɴᴛɴᴛɴʟᴅᴍɢDeveloper156 days ago(+1)

You are too kind! But I agree, Timo did an outstanding job with the voice acting.

FenDevSubmitted156 days ago(+2)

Super original and very fun. The controls feel really good! Great job.

TheRackoodSubmitted156 days ago(+2)

Love the concept and all the effort you guys put on these i love how i can shoot money grenade i always wish i could done that irl. gameplay is pretty good but the bot couldn't catch the speed of the boss even i didn't shoot out the money. and it would be nice to have sensitivity adjustment in game cause this make me kinda dizzy when going through the game .
