I never knew I needed Abe's Odyssey crossed with Office Work and Chess but here we are! Haha

I love the concept, the setup, and the visuals although simple are handy in a maze game as my brain wasn't overwhelmed with detail. The music really tied it all together well.

I can imagine a full version of this with different floors, maybe switches to change paths to stop guards going some directions and stuff, there's like HUGE potential here.

My major gripe would be the controls. I do feel it would work much nicer with WASD or something rather than the mouse BUT that's just me, I could be the odd one here and everyone loves the controls haha.

Awesome job my friend! <3

SO glad you got the Abe's Odyssey reference, it kept being in the back of my mind while I made this!!

Originally I wanted the coworkers to have "roles" too - like software developers could help you break through doors in the path, for example. Obviously scope creep lol but your comment made me think about that idea again!

Maybe I can implement a double control scheme that you can toggle in the settings, so people who are more comfortable with WASD can use that instead. I have a lot of fun myself dragging the mouse around because the pawn goes so fast, but I was tempted to implement WASD pretty much all week.

Thanks so much for this awesome review and for all the suggestions, my friend! I will definitely expand this beyond the jam. <3
