Awesome game, it feels like my work place :D

Well made and very funny game. I like how he head bangs to work and screams to destress. 

Submitted

Hahahaha the headbanging was brilliant! Such a nice idea and spin on a genre. I really liked the indication of the boss giving you some time to react, good game design. Asthetics are superb

I thought the game was fun and the graphics were cool, I thought the gameplay was a little boring imo though. I also couldn't figure out how to do any of the secret stuff for some reason, I tried, but I just couldn't figure it out so I ended up quitting

Submitted

Awesome style! Everything fits together quite nice! After playing it for a while I sympathize with the character. Those breaks are definitely necessary to release stress. Keep it up!

much fun. make more.

Excellent game, great styling and feels like I am sitting under a lamp with my Gameboy Advanced again! The gameplay is simple yet challenging enough to keep me in it, and the exploration was neat! I had a ton of trouble with wall jumping though, but that might be on me ;-;

This is amazing. You are really talented and should be proud of yourself. 🩷

Great game! I really liked the story during the break time. I found the game loop a little boring, tho. Maybe adding a sound effect to the text at the beginning would make it more immersive. But overall, an amazing game!

Submitted

Great use of 4 colors and sounds are beautiful. The story telling in the breaktime is very interesting. Good job guys!!!

I love everything about it, great use of the limited color palette and fantastic yet super simple minigame with the boss. I also really appreciate all the little effort put into the game, the boss jumpscare, the hole in the wall, I was very involved with the storyline. great job, congrats!

Loved the graphics and colour palette! Amazing work :)

Submitted

Great music and art!

Submitted

Really funny game, good work!

Submitted

Despite its graphics, this game is a almost a live-rendering of reality.

Good job, I really loved the head-banging on the keyboard and the scream to relax. The character design is really cool as well!

Submitted

Sound design is great, the desk bash with the camera shake really sells the impact of the hit

Kind of got lost early on in the game and had to struggle through 

Very polished and nostalgic!

Submitted

I loved the art, it´s pretty difficult the work part

Submitted

Really enjoyed the scream mechanic here lol, it's a really fun game! Nothing of note that hasn't been noted already, overall this was really well done!!

Submitted

Fun game with simple control and interesting premises! i like how the two phase have different objectives which ties between one and another. the “mouse”/arrow control is a little bit finicky, especially when entering passcodes, but overall it was such a good concept!

Submitted

We really liked your game! The idea is very funny and it makes us want to discover more about the secret that surround this office.

Just 2 little downsides, the audio of the music is too high and the controls during the puzzle are a bit clunky.

In the overall the game is fun to play! Well done mate!
