Oddest Jobs by hunttis
Oddest Jobs is a game about a guy that has a razor-rimmed bowler hat. He doesn't hesitate to use it. In fact, he refuses to use anything else! Get the enemy agents and the secret documents.
Directional keys control the character and space throws his hat. Remember to collect it afterwards!
The wall-jumping isn't quite intentional, but you can do it, it makes some levels a bit easier. The difficulty seems a bit too easy to me, but that might be because I've played it constantly.
Edit: It seems that Chrome runs the game best. At least on Safari, the scrolling kills the performance :/
Edit2: Fixed the stuff falling through everything bug! There are no other changes than just the bugfix for level loading.

Although, I think there's a problem with level 5 (the second document one) as the documents just fall through the floor
Fun though. A practical application for hats :D
Otherwise quite good work!
Omg, I love this ! I lost my hat !
Brilliant graphics. I love how snappily the hat fires. Such a funny idea - just by looking at the dude you can see he's debonaire.
Would love to get more on the story - Who are those dude in white ? Why is your badass self running around these buildings ?
Couple issues with collisions against walls. Not a fan of the jump physics / acceleration ... Hate it when you sort of float down in side-scrollers ...
I LOVE the fact that you have to collect your hat !
Background music would be cool!
Good job!

Love the feeling when hat hits !! Great Job !
Not sure why but I got the Gunpoint vibe, in case you are familiar with that game.
Having to collect your hat is a great mechanic though.
Some already mention it, but collisions in the second level with the documents are weird, you should fix that.
I took me some time to get the James Bond reference on the title...hahahahhaha
It really seems that there's something strange happening when levels load. For the life of me I can't figure it out, but it has to do something with the physics objects not being properly cleared or loaded when the level changes. After it starts bugging, there are physics objects that you can hit your head into, but I can't get the physics bodies to be drawn so I could figure out what they are. The most frustrating thing is, it's really random, if you try again, it'll probably work!
It's my first game with "proper" physics, so even if I was expecting trouble, not really game-breaking trouble. Meh :/
Thanks for playing anyway!
Controls (left and right) were a bit too slippery, but I don't care. Great job.
I love it!
When I got to the level where you "Find Documents" they just fell off the screen, and then none of the graphics matched the physics, sadly I couldn't proceed :(
I love the hat throwing mechanic though!
