Feedback

Weapons

  • Stapler is very annoying: The player needs to press the button for every shot.
  • Stapler barely used.
  • Fire extinguisher should replenish automatically
  • Long distance shoots should "charge" to go farther.
  • When dead you start with weapons, should be without.
  • Overuse of extinguisher.

Enemies

  • Printers run way to fast and they push you back too far
  • Bug: enemies don't reset when game is restarted.
  • About Server-Model: "What the hell is this thing?"
  • Printers do too much damage.
  • Printer too short.

Powerups

  • Bag of chips is not obvious that it replenishes health.
  • Not enough Power-Ups for multiple players.

Controls

  • Controls are not very intuitive. Moving & Looking-around.
  • Players want to go inside the cubicles (but can't)
  • Hard to hit the water cooler.
  • Health of player not obvious/easily overlooked.
  • Player speed:
    • Too slow
    • Should be faster with no weapon
    • Slow with strong weapon like extinguisher

Content

  • Office level is too small, simple. Gets boring.
  • What to do with the water cooler? Not so obvious.
  • Beasts should start from server room etc.
  • Boss at level.
  • Achievements / several rooms
  • Escape from top.

  • Too dark.

Cool

  • "It's cool"
  • Pretty cool.
  • Top of building: cool idea.

Comments

Most of the improvements suggested by players make a lot of sense, so we will try to implement all of them. The main factor is the short time of interest in the game. After a short while most people lose interest because there is just not enough to do. We will try to improve that by creating better levels.

We also have quite a performance issue right now, so resolving that is a top priority.
