DISCLAIMER: I ran out of time sort of so this game isn't the most interesting, and to make up for this i added unnecessary explosions! :D

I love the idea ! It's pretty fun and challenging. (and throwing drives at these annoying co-workers is really satisfaying !)

I really enjoyed this game for an hour. Then I found out how hard it is to lose and what is the optimal way to play, and I enjoyed this less. But still it's a very good game!

The controls are a bit awkward, as you can only move in one direction. Collision detection is also a bit wonky, I got stuck on workers and drives and all kinds of things.
Other than that, fun concept! Brutally murdering coworkers with faulty drives is always fun.

This simple game manages to keep a man busy for a while. But I know more work was put into it than it seems at first. Very nice for compo entry. And the story rings like it has truth to it, I imagine server rooms to be filled with a hard drive to the head candidates.

Nice idea, audio and gfx! I didnt like the fact that you cannot press 2 controls at once.

Nice take on the theme. The audio is really good! The gameplay works well, although the rough collision detection can make it a bit frustrating at times.
BTW, there's not such thing as unnecessary explosions. So plus points for those! :grin:
