How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a recently fired office worker armed with only a swivel chair and a sledgehammer. Your objective: destroy as much company property as you can before making your great escape through a nearby window. Constantly spinning, your only control is a temporary brake as you slam your way to freedom.

So good!! 😍 'Getting over it' meets 'Last man sitting', sort of? 😅 Haven't actually played either of those but that's the impression I got. Such a great idea, and execution is great! Music is just fantastic. 🎷 And great work on getting all that office art in there, looks great.

One of my favs so far, can see this becoming A THING.

Unfortunately I also encountered a bug and got stuck. 😝

Ah yes, the notorious double cabinet glitch...

Glad to hear you had a fun time playing though!

I loved and hated and loved this game in equal measure. I played for about 11 minutes before I despaired of reaching the window -- those dang physics just kept pushing me back to where I had come for, and the Boss Man just kept making his money.

I don't know if there is a mechanical boss since I didn't make it to the end, but I think it'd be fun to have to try to fight a similarly armed and out of control opponent -- it would be chaotic at the very least.

Great job on the music and sounds, it made for a lovely, messy romp. Excellent work!

Great work! I loved swinging the hammer really fast, as it made for some fun gameplay! Well done. :D

This is perhaps the most uncontrollable game I've played thus far, the sledgehammer sends you hurtling at unpredictable angles with little say in which way you go. This is made up for by the atmosphere the whole game gives you. The water cooler based big business aesthetic with a whole stock ticker on the side is done beautifully. There's even a whole original song for it, which is massive for a jam game. Seeing how everything gets destroyed is an amazing experience. This might be one of the most polished game experiences I've seen this jam.

I was 5 minutes in when I thought I was just starting to get the hang of my sledgehammer, then I had to watch with great sadness as I hit a table and a plant pot at the wrong angle and was sent back down the corridor I had fought my way up. It was at this point that I was reminded strongly of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy and I knew I had to leave to maintain my sanity.

Great game! I love the soundtrack and wish I had more patience to become an expert chair mounted hammer spinner.

At first, I was confused about the movement, but when I understood how it worked, I had a blast! More fun than I've had with a lot of games in this jam. I wish it were ... sliiightly easier and I had sliiightly more control though. It's a mechanic that I feel has a lot of potential.
