Lol no one gets it.
**To those furiously typing at how boring it is****
It's MEANT to be "pointless" and "boring" at least that's what I got. the context clues say it all in the end screen and menu.
climbing the corporate ladder is a wasteful and useless way to spend one's lifetime. I think the creators are trying to say that concentrating all your time and effort on getting that next promotion and kicking people down while getting to the top is a pretty sucky way to live. Ya'll are looking at it too close minded.
Making the game only fun at first is a metaphor for business world.
And on that note, my critique? It's pretty good. Simple.
The way I interpreted it makes it a cool way to utilize gaming.
But this is a site of gamers and animators. I don't think many have (or even old enough to have) a business job so this message is flying over their heads. But then again, that's if my assumptions were close.
The design is cute, the game ran smoothly, sound effects were fun.
Even the font helped set the atmosphere on "bland". I can't imagine a game with such a honed style would use courier new or something without reason.
Anyway, good job. Entertaining.
