This is Joe. Say hi, Joe!

Oh, you really don't want to say hi?

Oh, you're searching for some clothes. Sorry, I won't bother you.

Joe is searching for...

1. An orange shirt with blue stripes
2. A yellow hat
3. A badge

But Joe has nothing but ordinary clothes. He has nothing related to those clothes. So, he must make the trip to his local police clothes warehouse to get some. But, the warehouse is somewhat out of stock and confusing, so he must climb a bunch of ladders, press a bunch of switches, walk a couple miles, put on the proper police apparel, and find someone who will enlist him as a police officer. All without being physically fit enough to jump. All with epic music and fun art!

Note: Sometimes, you may walk towards something and not be able to walk any farther. If that happens, just back up, and try again. It may take several tries, but you will be able to continue walking eventually.

CONTROLS:

LEFT/RIGHT: LEFT AND RIGHT ARROWS
CLIMB LADDER: UP ARROW
SLIDE BLOCK: TOUCH IT
TOGGLE SWITCH: TOUCH IT
PICK UP ITEM: TOUCH IT

The levels are quite well designed, and I like the mechanics you've made!

pretty interesting game, the levels felt interesting, and there was always a point to do something in the level.

Good level design and nice puzzle game.

Great game. It is a nice idea. Nice background music too. Player animations are slightly shaking and on one level you can get stuck in a wall. Even with these small glitches, it is a good game :)

Very cool puzzles with simple mechanics

This must be what it feels like to be in soviet russia, with the oppressive music and people ordering you to get a job! :laughing:

I was getting a lot of bugs in the find a job level and ended up stopping there. The ladders worked pretty well but there were some issues. I did like the overall story, it was funny and the puzzles were well designed.
