The game's aesthetic is really well done for a game jam game. I think the camera needs to be slightly more zoomed out, but otherwise this game is great!
The aesthetic is quite nice. The graphics are simple yet effective and quite charming. I like how the colors change when you get the email. The music you chose fits the mood.
It was a little frustrating trying to find where to do all the tasks in the monotonous office - maybe an arrow indicating where to go would help? I also had some issues getting the scanner to work, but somehow it worked in the end. Maybe I was just doing something wrong?
The part where you have to kill everyone feels a bit unfair. The security guards kill you in one shot, it's impossible to dodge their bullets, and they shoot the *instant* they're on screen, if not *before* they're on screen. It's pretty much impossible to shoot them on reaction. I had to use a combination of shooting them while they were offscreen which felt cheap, and then taking cover near the middle and waiting for them to come to me. It probably wouldn't be that bad if you could quickly retry, but having to go back to your computer, watch the cutscene, and then walk over and get the gun made it more frustrating.
Really really great atmosphere, you did a excellent job in sound and graphics. The story of the game is extremely nice and feels (till a certain point in the game) very familliar with our everyday work. But it was very difficult to find the places you have to do your tasks. And I'm afraid, the shooting scene is waaaay to difficult, the guards start shooting at you even tough they're off screen :D Would be cool, if they needed to hit you a few times before you die or if they could miss a turn or there was a checkpoint. I didn't make it out of the lower level of the office.
If you should make the game more easier in the future, please tag me, I definitely want to know, how the game ends. So: Top Game :thumbsup:
@philipprapp95 thank you for the feedback. The sound was an asset but whe chosen carefully to fit the atmosphere we wanted. If you want to know the end of the game I'll tell you with a hint. The theme. We are aware of the issues of the camera, next time we'll give extra attention on that.
Great idea, very nice mood, audio fits very well. I feel like the shooting is fine but it is really tough to avoid the guards, should be able to see further before they shoot or something.
The mood and theme is well done in this game. While a unique style, there is a large variety of graphics. A minor note that the carpets should be a little more subtle so they blend in with the floor. At the moment, there's one that looks a lot like the walls in color.
Unfortunately I got stuck early on with the scanner. I'm kind of wondering if the game scaled right? The scan button was half off the screen and it didn't seem to matter what I clicked, I couldn't get the game to proceed.
It's a shame as I would have liked to see where the story was going. Also curious what other mini-games are in it. From what I could see though, it looks like a good bit of effort was put in, so nice work!

Overall a short and sweet game, good work.
Well done !
