I wanted to make a full game for this compo. I managed to get 10 levels and pretty interesting gameplay, so I'm proud of that!
You are Eugene. You are fed up with your dead-end office job and consider taking your miserable life with the gun in your cubicle desk. Suddenly you are interrupted by your boss who informs you that you will be working through the weekend and your birthday. Obviously you decide to save the single bullet for that greedy bastard, as you ascend the corporate prison to your fate.
Only works on PCs so far. Sorry bout that. Enjoy! (For non-Windows users try software called Wine: Thanks to caranha for that tip!)
Z-punch or pick up item X-switch between gun and hands Arrow Keys-Movement and aiming Esc-Quit to title and again to close the game
Fun to pick up the items and run around the levels. However when I got to the "boss" I pressed Z to continue the instructions and it used my only bullet :( Awesome graphics and sound!
You can certainly feel Eugene pain here :D The control a bit clunky and I can't tell whether other people will attack or run from you. Otherwise, I love the title screen (with the 'Z to return to work') and the art style.
I got these error on the floor right before the last floor: ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event
for object obj_guy:
Error in code at line 51: if point_distance(x,y,instance_nearest(x,y,obj_ammo).x,instance_nearest(x,y,obj_ammo).y) < 16 { ^ at position 59: Unknown variable x
Also, I can't exit the game afterward, maybe related to error above?
Hey thanks for the game, I enjoyed it! I liked that you don't really have to kill any of the other workers - they just run away. You beef is only with the boss.
There was one bug of note. The first time I entered the boss room, I switched to the gun. Then the dialog started, and I had to press "Z" to forward the dialog, but it also meant that my gun fired at the end before I was ready :-(
Wow, this was a fun play. I'll probably be playing this some more. The mechanics were flawless. The art was awesome. The fact that you could throw things was unexpected but freaking awesome. Well done!
I enjoyed this game. The audio was really fitting and well done, and the gameplay was pretty interesting. The only thing that bugged me was that, it seemed like it was impossible to lose before the boss. Overall, good job!
Damn but this is good! Great graphics, great audio, and the dialogue is hilarious. Probably one of the most polished entries of this LD. My only nitpick is that the AI of the other office workers is a bit dumb. (Also, it would be great to have even more things to use as impromptu weaponry, but that would just be an additional goody; the game is perfectly good as it stands.)
I haven't beaten it yet, but I'll probably come back to it. Can't let the job creators win.
Very fun game and good use of the theme. The art style is crisp and clean, and the sfx and music fit the game well. It was a good length and did not get dull before it ended, and even managed a nice little story, which given the time constraints is great. Nice job! :D
Loved the mechanic of picking up and throwing objects. I felt kind of weird playing this game due to the theme though. I suppose that's what you expected. Great job!

Cheers, and thanks for the game!
But good and fun storyline =)
