Nice wee game! The boss was simple yet interesting to fight as the player has to decide between dealing as much damage as possibly to the boss and potentially risking taking damage, or to send the boss back to the blue window room but deal less damage in the process. The controls are very simple and intuitive as there's only 2 buttons and the mouse pointer to use, making the controls very easy to adapt to.

The visuals are simple yet pleasant to look at as it mostly uses colour and basic shapes to show what objects are what, making it easy to understand the objects from a gameplay perspective. The music complements the gameplay well and the sound effects give the player's actions more impact. However, I do wish the game made more use of the theme.

Overall, I enjoyed this game and it was very satisfying to win at the end!

Good graphics, this game has potential! It was pretty short but the gameplay is fun! I learned that you shoot at the green things to regain ammo and you shoot at the blue things to gain health. I figured out how to play, it's simple and not that hard. I like this game! 

Developer

thank you.

The objective of the game is to shoot the boss with your incineration ammunition to prevent him from continuing to try to fire you, the teleportation system can be used to delay him while you reduce his health/consciousness.

I admit I didn’t understand the goal of the game :x

By the way, the game is noted as having been released for Windows, Mac and Linux, but there’s only a Windows executable inside.

Developer

At the time I got confused and ended up clicking because it is confusing that in the execution part it appears saying that it works for these platforms.

The graphics are funny and cool, I had to read here your advice to fully play this, but once understood its clear, you have to be sure to show this in the game so that other players know everything. I rate grphics and mechanics the most but all is good really, also if you have time please check my game, thanks!

I’m sorry I have no idea whats happening in this game, I read the game page and saw something about keeping my job so just kept teleporting the boss away but I have no idea whats happening at any point, why is there a minimap? no idea but looks really nice, the music is nice, good menus, good shooting, maybe i deserve to be fired haha

The objective is to shoot the incineration bullet at the boss to make him pass out, as living organs are not incinerated, as the boss wants to destroy the equipment you are controlling to take him out and fire him.

Thanks for the review, sorry if it wasn't very clear, the teleportation system is more intended to be used to attract the boss and prevent it from causing damage when possible.

Developer

I found minimsps to be a good way to inform surrounding items, even when teleporting.

Developer

Controls:  Right mouse button: Teleportation projectile.  Left mouse button: Incineration projectile.  Mouse Movement: Rotate the dual gun to aim at the packages and the boss.  "P" button: to pause and resume.
