Graphics were simple but got the job done. Audio was excellent!
Use of the theme(s) didn't really seem to be there, but I did like the tongue-in-cheek business commentary.
Well done!
A few impressions:
That first (extending) moment as your reach further and further across the table is great.
Took me a minute to realize that only your hand is vulnerable, but the formation of the levels made that clear pretty quickly.
Mr. Business is a very abrupt difficulty spike, felt a tad cruel. Eventually did shake his hand, though.
Almost the perfect handshake simulator. My only advice would be to add a few frames of invincibility after getting hit; I found it annoying to be killed from 2 health by a well-timed pair of obstacles.
Thanks for the game!
Thought it was a innovative game.
Music matched the style.
Game overall was really good.
This game really shows how the business world really works... :P
