Really like the office theme and the character designs are great! Using the cubicles as grind rails is very creative, though I feel they are a bit disconnected from the rest of the race. I found that I could either stick to speed boosting or using the cubicle, but couldn't switch between both without losing momentum. 

The AI seems to find it hard to navigate certain parts of the track, which gave me a pretty big lead each race. I love the idea of different tracks that overlap with each other, I did sometimes lose track of where I was supposed to be going though, and just ended up going in circles without progressing.

Overall though I think this is a super fun idea for a racing game, great work! : )

I love racing games, and I love the paper Mario art style, so fun.

Wow this game is fleshed out and fun to play! The level design is very impressive; it's no simple feat to make a large office map that has 3 overlapping tracks within it. The chair controls can be a little janky sometimes, but hitting a boost-boost-grind-grind-wallride-boost x33 combo is super satisfying. Whoever worked on the UI did an excellent job of channeling GameCube-era racing game win screens, reminded me of Kirby Air Riders. And I adore the paper heads lmao. It'd be even better if you had full environment art for the office floor/walls/ceiling, but this plays great for a game jam. Great job!!

Great game! Its super fun and so polished. Very creative game. The racers did get stuck tho. Overall, good work!

Super fun and creative concept racing around the office on spinning chairs while avoiding the boss is such a good idea. Really polished for a jam game, loved the UI and speedometer feels like official tony hawk or something. I can see it releasing with finished assets and stuff. Great work!

Really awesome game! I really like the juice of the racing mechanic especially when I got into the jumppad. I'm not sure if its the game or I'm just really tired but I got a bit motion sick when I was playing it xD (again, could just be me). The visuals fit the vibe really well though I do wish the walls and the floor's texture were replaced to something more office-like since I do recognize the unreal engine texture xD. Audio was also great and I would say its kinda serious! Overall, really great game you got here! Awesome work!

Thats a really cool idea. I really liked the execution as well. Funny game!

This was a really fun and polished racing game. The idea of office workers racing around on spinning chairs while trying not to get caught by the boss is super funny, and the whole office theme works really well. The UI, speedometer, combo system, visuals, and overall presentation all felt very clean for a jam game.

My main feedback is pretty small. The AI racers seemed to get stuck sometimes, and having Escape pause the game would feel more natural. I also had to re-press forward at the start of races sometimes, but it was easy to get used to. Overall, this was goofy, creative, and really well-made. Great work!

Funny and silly racing game, but instead of cars, it’s office workers spinning around on chairs while slacking off. The UI combo is cool too. That’s one way to get rid of boredom while working in an office. Nice job on the game!

Submitted

This is so goofy but so fun and polished at the same time. The visuals, UI, mechanics all feel great. The NPCs are a little flawed though, and at some point in a race they all got stuck at the same spot.

Overall great work with this!

Submitted

Wow that was extremely well done! It was very fun and I loved how you implemented the combo system. I also enjoy the art style, it fits within the whole game well. Great work!

Submitted

Its crazy how polished this is and yet, esc button is missing xD

Ah thats one thing we forgot. you can instead use the 'P' key instead to pause.

Thanks for the feedback!

GET BACK TO WORK! Nice work youve done, a whole race with ai coworkers, good style, unconventional sprite usage for this game, for me, at the start of the race, i always need to repress w to go forward, but i got used to it. Good variety, creativity, thanks for your work!

This was great fun! I really liked the UI and speedometer :D
