I will start off by saying that I played this on a laptop with a track pad because we're painting our house right now and i can't get into my office to grab the controller. If it weren't for that, I would have played this game all night long. Love me a good bullet hell and this one had some awesome looking sprites and tons of cool polished animations and effects! I couldn't beat Mr. Coffee with my trackpad but that's certainly my problem and one I will soon. I'll love to see where this one goes!

I loved the graphic style and the idea of the attacks, very creative! I got a little lost in the gameplay but I had fun, good job!

Ok this had no reason being so well made, this was a great game, one of the best if not the best game I've played so far. The graphics, the music, the theme, the gameplay, everything was great.

Now sometimes the boss would just "fire me" with full health and a full timer, I am not sure why that was the case. And one thing that I would have changed would have been to remove the cutscene-restricted movement, it kinda got old that every time I died and I was fired up to try again I had to stop moving for the first dialogue part. 

Other than that, the game was great! I absoloutely loved it!

Oh, it all ties together so nicely. It's wonderful - good job.

My only niggle is that the delay between click and the guns firing made it feel unresponsive at times. However this is only a real issue with the first weapon, which I switched out quickly.

Coffee pot boss was so, so well done! I'm charmed. When's the merch dropping?

Well done :)

Great game !

Amazing visuals, very good sound work, nice storytelling, everything's top notch. If I had to nitpick, the screenshake was a bit overdone, but it wasn't *that* bad :P

Really incredible entry, nice work!

Very cool game! It was very fun! the visuals and sounds are great! but the camera moves too slowly in my opinion, I was almost all the time on the edge of the screen.

Assistant TO the regional manager ... erm, monster xD Perfect Boss on Boss action, nice visuals and good audio. Feel and responsiveness were really great. The size was a little small for my monitor. I loved how the bosses had a variety of attacks.

Holy Moly!

When I started the game I thought: this looks charming. I love the art. The title is hilarious and that you took the workplace approach for the Boss theme like a lot of people did but put it in a crazy setting. Then I got my first task and when I found out I wasn't simply grabbing coffee but got a Boss fight to complete a task for my Boss! Genius! Then an upgrade system on top of that!! Plus gamepad support!!!

I loved my time with this game. It was an absolute blast and I'm really glad I played it. I could tell how much love went into it with the little Monkeys with Guns portraits in the halls and all the touches throughout the tileset work. The juice was just right, and I appreciate little things like you putting in an embed bg on the itch.io page that made me laugh!

Really well done. Especially impressive as a solo effort. My only feedback would be to either include a difficulty option, or make the timer a little more forgiving so more people can see more of the game, especially for a jam game where there's that extra pressure as a player to feel like you want to give everybody's title a shot, but this one is well worth it!

Great work.

Looks great, sounds great, super polished! Love the character design, simple UI, and the game was super easy to understand. It would've been nice to perhaps have a speed boost of some kind? Something to allow me to move a bit faster but with a cooldown to allow for strategic decisions! Great job!

Heyhey, just played your game and I find it really polished ! I found it a really fun experience ^^

As a nitpickpoint I would like to say that I would find it better if the camera followed you faster since now it feels kinda slow. Oh and perhaps regenerating health (at a mission complete) would be fun too

Still, cheers on your entry !

love the art

Very cool game ! Very punchy & nervous! The screenshake feels so good you can feels the gun as some punch :)

Only little feedback is a checkpoint would be nice so you don't have to re-kill the first boss if you die on the second one.

Appart from that very cool & fun. good job :)

Excellent game, the art is awesome, the artstyle is really cool and the music is great. My only nit picking would be that sometimes the camera would not move fast enough and you would get some cheap hits from unseen flies, specially between boss fights and starting the whole game over when you die is kind of harsh.

Pretty pretty game, well done.

Absolutely adore the monster designs and the humour in the game - everything feels so cohesive and unique right down to the style of the font and speech bubbles! Really great shooter, and amazing work completing this solo!!

Crazy well polished game, loved the visuals and music together. Came together into a nice little top down shooter. The shotgun upgrade seemed a bit weak at the end so had to replay the whole game again but I didn't mind, would advise maybe saving progress for jam games. Overall a really solid game.
