[raw]
made by valid4life for LD33 (JAM)
Ever felt like Office hours are too long? Take matters into your own hands and end the office day early...

Shoot up the office in your own style, but don't run out of rage or else the fantasy will break.

Good Luck.

Goals:
Kill everyone with the least amount of points spent!
Advance to next level.


Controls:
WASD / Arrow Keys for movement
Mouse for rotation
C for rage mode
Click to fire

Disclaimer -> The game over was made when the game jam was over man.

Notes:
If the game begins and you are placed in black nothingness, give it a restart or two until it works... Unknown reasoning behind bug.

Dark.
A nice way to blow off some steam.
Really enjoyed the music and camera effect.
Also liked the random "bullet tornadoes" that occur.

Awesome game really fun to play. I like the direction you took with the fantasy of being a monster i like when you do back to the real world the people you killed are alive. Also that is the bast game over screen i have ever seen.

I think the rage mode camera zooming in and out could have been toned down a little. Also you should name you download something like 'OfficeHours_win.rar' like you did with the exe.

the art and sound is really good as well.

I can't download the OS/X file. Drive shows it as a folder instead of a file. You might need to zip it first.

The files should be renamed now!

Just tried the Windows build, but unfortunately I think it's broken. I spawned way outside of the map and couldn't get inside

Pretty well put together! The sound and graphics specifically stand out quite a lot. I found the camera zoom to the soundtrack kinda annoying. I also liked the projectiles and how they sort of curved?

OS/X build wouldn't work for me. downloaded and un-rar'ed, tried to run the .app, "Office Hours.app couldn't be opened". this is on OS/X 10.10.5

Well, I'm facing the "placed in black nothingness" bug everytime I try to play :/

I could fool around a little bit even outside the room and it was pretty fun, too bad it didn't work properly.

Congratulations guys!

The game concept seems interesting, but the gameplay is broken: the player moves to one direction automatically even if I have released all the keys. Made it a bit hard to play.

Holy crap! The visuals and music are awesome, made even better by the contrast between the two modes. Really fun going on a rampage like that too, bullets flying, bodies everywhere

'twas fun :) The camera zooming is kinda annoying, but the game itself is still enjoyable ^^

I actually really liked the zooming effect with the beat on the rage mode. I thought it made it more interesting and blood-pumping.

The two songs between the different modes were perfect opposites.

It would have been cool to have a couple of different weapons you could switch to, and maybe a mini-map to help you find your way to the co-workers.

The bullet effects and paths they took were amazing! It was a lot of fun going into rage mode. I loved the total top down view. And the change of music and color scheme when transforming into rage mode.

Interesting concept and good execution.

Well, that was surprisingly satisfying. I didn't quite get how the rage-mode worked but it was fun nontheless.
Loved the music and visual feedback. Great contrast between "boring"- and "rage"-mode. Good job!
Also, that bullet behaviour is amazing :D

Quite trippy, haha.
It's definitely a nice and fun game with awesome music and good graphics. The mood was definitely well set in both "modes".

A really solid entry indeed. Great work!

Tried it on Linux, but i couldn't control the character. The only thing i could do was to start him walking, and pressing c for rage mode. He just kept walking in the same direction until he collided with walls.

Cool game! I loved the transition between boring greyscale and mad colorful mayhem. I would have preferred the camera to be pulled out slightly further from the player, but since that was my only real gripe I'd say great job!

Some of the design choices aren't really working together, the music is implying I'm in some sort of roller coaster ride and I'm slowly walking around shooting one or two person at a time. I feel it would be better that enemy horde is swarming at you and you just fire blindly at them. Camera zooming too much is fine for me, but it's unsync to gameplay, I feel it would be better if the camera zooming is used as feedback to how many enemies you killed.

Fun game! I was a little confused when my rage would runout, but I guess it was because I was spraying bullets everywhere. The zoom effect on the beat was excellent and definitely made it more intense, but it was kind of giving me motion sickness towards the end there. Well done!

Pretty neat idea! Bored vs. rage was great! The graphics were cool and music was awesome! The bullets were cool, but I didn't get what was going on ^^; Zooming too was cool, but it was a bit annoying for me...
I didn't quite understand the boss battle... too many bullets flying, didn't understand how I died xp

Oh a restart button would be great!
Grahhhhh

Great programming, that's what I have to say. I was a little disappointed when it was black and white, guess what, boom. Rage = color. Game play was smooth, I didn't run into any bugs, nice submission!

The camera tweening during rage mode could be toned down a bit but this was a very fun entry and I loved the transition from monochrome to full colour.

Lol :D Great entry! Controls were nice, music pretty fitting. That heartbeat effect was little strong for my eyes
All in all, Pretty neat entry!

Switching to rage mode is great! That's why many game developers are indie and don't work at offices :)
