Nice graphics and fun gameplay loop, movement feels really good too. Would be nice if there was a way to regain health and power ups or something but a really good simple game

The controls are nice and responsive, art style is perfect.

Reminds of Hotline Miami (which is good)

This was a little tricky to play on a trackpad, but otherwise I really liked it!

nice little top down game! for many reasons, the "fight aliens in an office" speaks to me.

it was a little bit easy, since the new aliens spawn when the last wave died and the keyboard smash seemed a little bit too powerful next to the mouse whip. but the game itself feels kinda polished, i liked the animations, good job!

Well polished game, good tutorial at the begining. Just a bit lost about the goal in the mid period.
Love the art and the feeling of immersion!

Love the idea of a tiny hotline miami style game! It's short but fun and the game feel and feedback are perfect.

Smooth gameplay, felt very direct and impactful.

I liked to somewhat hide behind the desk and "throw" the mouse across it to hit the enemies trying to reach me :)

Cool game, keep up the good work :)

Quick and easy to play, fun, I really enjoyed it! An unlimited mode with an end score would have been great fun too!

Extremelly well polished and it tells! If you plan on keep working on this (i see some kinf odroguelite mechanics, maybe adding upgrades and stuff) i'd definetly take a look!

Fun game! The action is fast-paced and the feedback from hitting enemies is satisfying. I like the music and the variety of enemies. I think you could have utilized the theme better, to me I felt like I had plenty of space to run around. I also think it would be fun if you could launch the chair towards the enemies and have it do damage. Great game overall!

Sweet stuff! Very smooth movement, no bugs that I saw, pretty nice-looking and very "readable" graphics. The animations and sound effects for all the hits and things were great, very tangible. I wish the "keyboard smash" and "mouse whip" animations had just a _little_ bit more visible flavor to represent what they're called. My favorite part is how you can (and should) use the desk and chair as obstacles to block shots or hide behind. I tried a few times to keyboard-smash the chair so that it punched into the enemies, but I didn't manage to get it to work, if it's even possible. That would've been so sweet. Overall it felt nicely polished.

And yes, I did win! 😎

This was so fun to play! The base gameplay is great so you could really develop it more after the jam!

Polished as ever, and good work was put into getting out of the theme-box and coming up with a novel story. The tutorial had me laughing. I really wanted to see all the enemy types, but also did not want to play it again and again after my fifth death, so maybe a way to warm restart would be cool. Great work!
