Cool game! I played through the first 5 tasks. I liked the idea, but I do wish the world was a bit more interactive. When I have to clean the bathroom, maybe something as simple as dragging a mop around and spilling water. When I have to beat bob in tetris, something funny like beating his highscore of 2 in a mini tetris simulator. Stuff like that could make this game a lot of fun. Overall, I liked it, lots of potential, but I think it was a bit short on time.

Very cool, i like the character graphics like cartoon. the Story telling and The context of the situation is hilarious.it lack sound effect but i enjoyed playing your game !

The controll was super funny, moving around like a helicopter shooting in all directions =D. The only thing i dont understand is in which point its hit the theme =D, but i had my fun =)

This is definitely a solid foundation for what could be a really really good game. The premise alone is amazing. Some of the tasks that were more generic like "water the plant over there" was a little confusing but at the same time it played right into the "bad boss" theme. The dialogue is hilarious. My favourite task was "Beat Bob in Tetris". Overall well done! :v:

Cool idea for a game. The dialog was pretty funny. It would have been nice to have some music and sound effects. I didn't quite get the link with the theme, but overall well done!

Good game! Would of gone great with some audio or perhaps an arrow on screen guiding you to the task location. Also would like if multiple tasks were back to back. I hated going back to the boss!! Especially when the building looks like a generic office I get PTSD myself HAHA. ++

The premise is hilarious!

I was confused about what the stapler was for. It didn't seem to impact anything.

I had a fun time playing this and had to play all the way to the end. The ending was surprising (in a good way).

Adding some background music to this would help enhance the fun office mood even more.

Interesting game. I liked the graphics and dialogue. However, I wish there was some more interaction I could've had with the office or the environment. It just seems a little dry right now. Nice work though!

Very unique art style. Game is funny, but the tasks could really be bit more exciting. But of course their mundanity is the point of the game, so I don't know :D

Got completely trolled by the title/gameplay. Expected something more with the staple-shooting, and that's exactly what you designed! Well done!
