Had fun trying to optimize my routes without getting in the way of the boss. As per usual I did not read the instructions and it took a while to figure out that I was supposed to use F to fix things. In hindsight obvious and I should have stayed at the instructions screen a bit longer. Maybe a textbox could have said - Press F to fix things or somthing. Either way, great game.

I usually struggle to rate mood in game jam games because most don't have any particular. But this is one of the rare entries that really gets you in a certain mood. The combination of aesthetics and music simply felt good.

It sure looks promising. Office is well done - from graphics (i wasnt thinking even for a second that this is not how office looks like) and the sound which was on the right border between \"rushing, stressing\" and \"its just a game, keep calm\". \n\nAs an area for improvement I would introduce some clever AI. I think that for this type of game the GOAP would fit very well: https:\/\/learn.unity.com\/project\/goal-driven-behaviour?courseId=5dd851beedbc2a1bf7b72bed. It is because I did not have a problem to avoid boss at all. So combination of problem (like broken machine for coffee) with need of the boss (like he just decided that he needs a coffee) would require player to cross path more often. \n\nThanks!\n\n ","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":786787,"author_name":"Tieran","author_uid":"tieran","epoch":1649151810,"text":"@snory Thanks for your feedback, I do agree the AI can be improved by having it GOAP especially for the boss as you mentioned.
