Office Hell

CAN YOU HELP JIMBO?

Story

Jimbo works in the big office building in the big city. He's a very hard worker. But the corporate gods in HR have determined him too lazy and banished poor Jimbo to OFFICE HELL! Our hero will have to navigate the endless office halls, dodging demons and ghosts of companies past if he hopes to ever see the real world once again...

Gameplay

Jimbo may be a hard worker but he does struggle to think for himself. Once he is given a direction there's no stopping our boy Jimbo. The only way to control him once he's started moving is to make him jump. Choosing directions wisely and timing jumps carefully is the only way to help our hero navigate the predicament he finds himself in.

Controls

- Press Left or Right buttons to choose a direction for Jimbo to move.

- Press the X (❎) button to jump and interact with menus.

- Press the ENTER key or the P key to pause.

Credits

The game was inspired by an old mobile game I used to play when I was younger called Rat on the Run. The art style also took inspiration from corporate memphis drawings and the movie Office Space. A massive thank you to all my friends and family who helped me playtest and get the game to a standard I am very happy with. I spent about 2 months all together working on the game and polishing up its many bugs. I hope you enjoy!!!
