Story

Dear all,

As you know, then anual company-wide lake trip has been cancelled this year, but our yearly _nurf gun deathmatch tournament_ is still on! You should have all received an _electric shock pen_, but you should look for other items you can use around the office.

Most importantly, do not tell HR about this!

About

Don't Tell HR! is Hotline Miami meets Fortnite. It's a single player battle Royale that trades the wide open fields for the tight corridors of the office.

This was a lot of fun to make! I only finished the gameplay loop 2 hours before the deadline, so its a bit unbalanced, but I am happy with the features I did manage to implement :)

I hit a bug with Godot 4 html export, but the desktop versions should work fine.

There wasn't any place to tell me the controls or how to play, all I knew was to run around and hope I encounter someone. Other than that it's a pretty fun concept

Really not much happening around. I would rarely run into people, and upgrades are not really visible. It follows theme well, and some animations are really cool.

There are some bugs that will cause the game break, but I still get some fun form it. Hope you improve it.

On the start floor it was fun, you need to find a gun faster than others and kill them.
But on the rest of the floors, i met only one enemy, so it would be great to balance it

cool concept, I was a little lost at the beginning, but overall, I had a good time, the selecting of floors was cool.

I enjoyed it, was a fun and simple shooter. I think less floors and some variation between the floors would go a long way and an end screen that allowed the player to restart rather than automatically exiting would be nice.

cool concept but the start is very slow and frustrating

Good idea, but the controls are a bit unintuitive. Also crashed on me a couple of times (playing on Windows).

Salier8 Oct 2023, 16:03

Nice idea, it's badly missing some balance as killing someone with the starting weapon seems impossible and as such it becomes a race between you finding the bb gun or someone attacking you with it.
Overall the idea and concept has some nice potential.

I liked the idea of a battle royale set in an office building and the art and animations were pretty good but in true battle royale style I ran around collecting loot for 5 minutes and saw nobody then shot the final 2 people through walls.

Cool idea, the offices could be extra crammed and labyrinth like to really fit into the theme tho. I like how the bots pick floors at the beginning and loot around like actual players

by the way, Godot 4 uses shared array buffer. you can enable it on your itch.io game page settings for the HTML exports to work (I couldn't find a way to enable it for Ludum Dare website tho :P)

nice fun idea with a nice story concept, to bad it crashes a lot and the controlls seem kind of delayed.
