Run out of Coffee by BerserkerChris

[raw]
made by BerserkerChris for LD 39 (JAM)

screen1.PNG Every office worker knew you can`t work without coffee. Maybe I got not enough coffee this weekend.

THE GAME IS NOT READY.

I finished it to a playable Version. Maybe I have to plan next time the game better, I had this idea and I thought it could be great, but the result is not the game that I hoped it will be.

Have Fun while playing but you don't have to play it.

PS: I learned a lot new things and worked the first time with Illustrator and After Effects. I had a great time.

The idea looks good, but I was not able to pass the second guy as I didn't had enough coffee, I don't know if I was doing something wrong.

But hey, the graphics are cool and you have animations, that's nice.

I am missing some sounds, but still cool :D

I made it to the coffee machine. Totally worth it!

I think you're being a little hard on yourself in the game description. The graphics and animations are really nice and I love the colour matching mechanic when you meet people.

It took me a few tries to realise that money caries over when you click "Retry". This allows you to buy items at the computer. I think you could skip the "Retry" and just take the user back to the desk with a comment like "Another day..." sort of like groundhog day :)

Perhaps the items you buy could make you walk faster as well as further so that it's less of a grind.

Anyway, nice game and well done!

Damn I got to the coffe machine! the idea was really nice. Dont be so harsh on yourself, you cant expect much from a game made in such a short time!

Great idea, took me a while to realize that upgrades are permanent. I would love to see this polished with a few different co-worker challenges and better balancing, and maybe some audio.
I kinda like your art style and that you combined main menu and game, you should not have disabled rating for graphics ;)

Oh thanks I didn't read the Do Not, I want to exclude Audio.

I loved the graphics, they fit with the game, the idea was great. Must say it was shocking to see my guy keel over and die from lack of caffeine, i think if you'd made him spurt blood or something it would have been even funnier :D

I did it! I went all the way to the coffe machine) At first it's hard to understand what's going on. It would be greate to add some discription. And maybe different mini-games when you meet those dudes? Anyway, the game works from start to end and graphics looks nice! Good job!

@enot487 Thats the reason why I say the game is not ready, the smalltalk should be with different images in the talk and think bubbles with the same meaning.
