I got confused with the end screen. Didn't see the you win in the lower part of the paper. Nice humour.. i think i molested a man in the boardroom

I like the headlines, and the idea of taking down a company by making poor decisions is funny

Moving around to find them though was a little tedious. The same concept could be accomplished with still images or menues

My eyes usually just gloss over text, but this game made me take a closer look. Some hilarious employees in there! I enjoyed visiting all of them to see what they had to say.

I found this flavor of decision-making quite refreshing. I won with a office filled of hundreds of cats. Yissssss!

A bit confusing, but very fun. It would be cool to have randomized options, and be able to make multiple in a day, but it's still a ball to play. Very funny, great take on the theme, overall a great game. Well done!

Wow, great job! I totally played through a whole bunch of times to try different stuff. My biggest crater was getting the stock down to -$123. A ton of the little quips were clever, and some of the ideas had nice surprise twists, like when I accidentally discovered two extra days in a week and my stock shot up.

On choice you made was to make the guy move fast. Wow good thing! So many games unthinkingly put in slow walking, and then make you walk around a lot. It was a relief that I could zoom around, it kept me willing to try again because I knew I could do it quickly.

Sound effects were such low volume I didn't realize they existed at first, and I had to jack up the audio level on PC to hear them, but I did like them.

Very nice.

A very nice idea, to reverse a manager game. It's extremely short though. Thus, it's hard to really get into it. I see a lot of potential, however.

An interesting take on the theme. The headlines were amazing, kittens committing genocide and all. Stable and well-made.

Cool idea, need to be more polished though, but it's interesting.

Hilarious entry ! Loved the idea behind this one, this is pretty well executed ! Good job, sir (We have a similar idea about a Monster CEO in our game ^^)

Great Idea! It was a little short for me, only bumped into 3 people and the game ended.

Short but fun game. I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/L1fCW_I8xho

Apart from the tiny audio and the actual short length of the game, this was a pretty interesting entry to play and I had quite a lot of fun playing this over and over and working out which choices would ruin the company in the shortest time.

Great concept. Funny headlines. "Not sure what I'm looking at here." "Babies really are the future!" You monster.

I loved this idea of sabotage; destruction is always fun. Audio was extremely low. I didn't realize it was there for a good long while. Loved the little story bubbles. Overall, great job.
