COFFEE & Cube-icles by Deamonus

made by Deamonus for LD 39 (JAM)

It's friday in the office, just a few more hours till the weekend. Can you drink all the coffee and not go completly insane!?

The goal of the game is to drink all the coffee in the office, evade your co-workers, and not go insane. The coffee is literally all over the place! Look underneath the desks, on top of the cubicles, in the hallways, EVERYWHERE!

This is my first solo Ludum Dare project, mostly to challenge myself to work with more restrictions then i'm used to. Main focus was on design and coding the game, therefor i used a payed for asset pack for the graphics. Some of the audio us also not made by me.

So, how does the game work?

Have fun trying it out, and let me know what you thought of it!

also, screenshots!

Really like the graphics and attention to small details, making the environment feel like a real working office. Sometimes I would get cornered and the camera would zoom in really close, not allowing for movement. But other than that it was a very fun game!

This was really fun and fit the theme well of the jam very well! My only issues were with the AI of the co-workers getting easily stuck on things, and with needing to spam the E button when the coffee could just be picked up on collision to simplify the control scheme Since there was really no time I was near a coffee and didn't want to drink it. It would have also been cool to see some sort of mechanic where co-workers would run from you when your sanity starting draining, it might have added some duality to gameplay. Awesome job on this!

Great concept and use of theme. Even though you bought assets for the game you did make a good choice on aesthetic which helped the overall flow of the game. I did hit a few snags while playing, though. First I did hit a lot of the camera issues others talked about. Additionally at some point I lost the ability to drink coffee. I was standing next to 3 or 4 cups and pressing E did nothing. Are there empty cups in the game? I wasn't sure because all the cups up to that point would disappear once consumed.

Super nice graphics and models! I liked the elevator mechanic, game some life to the office :) I sometimes got stuck between some guys and sadly there's no way to accept seeing the picture of the dog :(
Pretty funny game! Maybe adding some dimension to the movement mechanics would help the game, since jumping around isn't all that practical.
Nice work though! Really impressive achievement!
Recorded some gameplay, would you mind if I uploaded it? :)
Edit: Will indeed link back!

Hi! Great graphics, but the game runs very slow on my PC, it is nearly unplayable.
