Meet the Boss. He's a bit of a psychopath and is rather lacking in the empathy department. Put yourself in the shoes of a corporate madman and kick around, threaten, and eject employees out of the building with the power of his designer brand super punt!
HOW TO PLAY:
*Game is Flash-based, so please allow/unblock Flash!*
ESDF/Arrow Keys = Movement
Z or J = Kick
X or K = Jump
C or L = Megaphone "You're Fired!"
* Special Move! *
Down, Forward (Hadoken Input!) + Kick = Super Punt
1. Harass office workers as desired. When you're done with that..
2. Yell into the megaphone to threaten unemployment. Kick them around while they are on the floor begging for mercy!
3. Kicking employees while they're still down will keep them there longer.
4. Use the [ Designer Brand Super Punt ] while they're crying to literally kick them out of the building.
5. Super Punting crying workers into other crying workers will make them explode!

This is my first solo jam and unfortunately I ran out of time to do everything I was intending to include. That being said, there's no real objective in this version. :) Consider it an incomplete, buggy proof of concept and have fun!
Also, don't kick around your co-workers in real life!
Aaah, the boss monster, didnt even think of that one :) The art and animation is excellent. Just a shame there is no objectives there (I'm sure my boss would disagree). Maybe use the company $ revenue as score :P

Really nice artstyle, gotta love those retro graphics! Also, the idea made chuckle!
Shame you didn't finish but what you have here is great! Very funny and the mechanics feel great. The player looks like such a smug asshole! I really hope you use these assets in a future game.
I'm fired. Where are the sindicates? I think that some enemies would be awesome to the game. The mechanics and gameplay are perfect, and the graphics are great but I need some goal to consider this an awesome game. But nice concept and try to improving it ;-)
Liked the music and graphics, the super punt only seemed to work sporadically though. Also didn't feel like I was working (see what I did there) toward anything in particular. A goal or lose condition helps, but the mechanics here are solid, so a good start!
You can see on his face how he's having so much fun kicking and firing all these employees, ahahah. Love the pixel art and music on this. You're fired! :D
So funny x) ! Sometimes I get stuck in the air when I jump (it's over when you try to move). Anyway it's great even if I feel kinda bad for the employees hahaha!

If time & chance allows, I'd love to expand on this with a post-jam version. :)
Shame you didn't get chance to implement a goal - I think it could be really fun! Good use of the theme too!
You should definitely expand on this. :D
Great job!
