Labor Day the Game
IF THE HTML5 VERSION IS NOT WORKING, PLEASE TRY THE UNITY WEB PLAYER VERSION: http://hinerz.itch.io/labor-day-the-game-webplayer-build
WASD to move
Q to kill worker or boss
F to feed mushroom to worker or boss
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to switch between cameras
Backstory:
There are cameras everywhere at DelightWorks toy factory, even the restroom. The manager, Miz, is also ubiquitous, she can go make sure everyone can do their work properly. Unfortunately, some workers steal. Some just slack off. But Miz is there to make sure that they are corrected.
Mushrooms are great for motivating tired workers. It even works for the Boss, who is apparently addicted to watching distracting things on his computer.
How to win:
Kill anyone who is stealing. (thinking of dollar signs)
Feed mushroom to anyone who is lazy. (either boss imagining sexy things/blushing or worker zzz-sleeping)
The scoring system ONLY cares about how many quotas you meet. Doesn't matter if you kill anyone or don't kill anyone or how many mushrooms are fed. This is the system!! :P

Thanks! Yeah, and if your input isn't being registered, try clicking around the game (white area between the background and the game), that works for me!

Took a few refreshes to get it working. Nice graphics and music.

Haha nice idea. Kind of wish I had more worker replacements so I could slaughter more backstabbing thieves >:D and I don't need quite so many mushrooms. Otherwise, very nice game :)

Properly dystopian! The second time around, for some reason, I only ever got one worker. Perhaps there was too much killing earlier? Cool graphics and music, nice theme, well done!

Very good idea, and very good execution, all topped off with a pretty paint of polish.

Hehehe, this was a really interesting idea! Took me a little while at first to figure everything out. It would have been cool if it was like a shorter day, with multiple challenges each day.

This was fun! though I think i found a bug: If you kill evryone and are out of workers to spawn, when you restart the game there are no workes.
Good job!
Good job!

I wish I had more replacement workers too, so many thieves.. :)

Hahaha, so fun! LOVED IT!
I *somehow* ran out of workers pretty soon. I kinda needed more workers because most of them were lazy thieves!
It's a really incredible entry and loved every bit of it. Congrats!

Thanks for the support, everyone!
Yeah, so the thieves/lazy workers are spawned randomly (Lazy more common than thieves) so it's entirely possible that you just got lucky and happened to get more thieves.
Also, there is a bug that when you restart, I think it doesn't respawn the workers! :( I would fix it but I think that's not under the category of something I can fix post-jam. Sorry, and please refresh the page if you want to play another round :( It's possible to get an A as your grade! I'd love to see what everyone got.

Interesting game, felt the objectives (in what exactly you needed to be doing moment-to-moment) were a little unclear, but loved the little quotes everywhere. What kind of porn has pink bats flying in the background? :)

I got a C+. It's hard managing everyone. XD
Nice game!
Nice game!

Great entry! Congrats!

Took a few seconds messing about to work out what to do, but then was fun. Bears and Rabbits seemed pretty easy to get made but kept falling short on the controllers!
A nice idea which would be even better given some more time to sort out levels etc.
Nice graphics and the music also. Well done!

This game has made my day :) Just going around and decide wheter to give tasty mushroom to motivate employee or just end his life and catching boss watching porn ... high fun factor :D

Excellent entry! The theme is integrated very well. I found that I kept running out of workers, even after only killing the thieves, but perhaps I was just unlucky. Great graphics, though! 4.5/5 overall.






Anyway, good idea ... I found it too easy to KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! ... err wait, feed ... feed ... :)
