WASD to move
Q to kill worker or boss
F to feed mushroom to worker or boss
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to switch between cameras
Backstory:
There are cameras everywhere at DelightWorks toy factory, even the restroom. The manager, Miz, is also ubiquitous, she can go make sure everyone can do their work properly. Unfortunately, some workers steal. Some just slack off. But Miz is there to make sure that they are corrected.
Mushrooms are great for motivating tired workers. It even works for the Boss, who is apparently addicted to watching distracting things on his computer.
How to win:
Kill anyone who is stealing. (thinking of dollar signs)
Feed mushroom to anyone who is lazy. (either boss imagining sexy things/blushing or worker zzz-sleeping)
The scoring system ONLY cares about how many quotas you meet. Doesn't matter if you kill anyone or don't kill anyone or how many mushrooms are fed. This is the system!! :P

Thanks! Yeah, and if your input isn't being registered, try clicking around the game (white area between the background and the game), that works for me!
Took a few refreshes to get it working. Nice graphics and music.
Haha nice idea. Kind of wish I had more worker replacements so I could slaughter more backstabbing thieves >:D and I don't need quite so many mushrooms. Otherwise, very nice game :)
Properly dystopian! The second time around, for some reason, I only ever got one worker. Perhaps there was too much killing earlier? Cool graphics and music, nice theme, well done!
Very good idea, and very good execution, all topped off with a pretty paint of polish.
Hehehe, this was a really interesting idea! Took me a little while at first to figure everything out. It would have been cool if it was like a shorter day, with multiple challenges each day.
This was fun! though I think i found a bug: If you kill evryone and are out of workers to spawn, when you restart the game there are no workes.
Good job!
That was very fun and original, great job !
I wish I had more replacement workers too, so many thieves.. :)
Hahaha, so fun! LOVED IT!
I *somehow* ran out of workers pretty soon. I kinda needed more workers because most of them were lazy thieves!
It's a really incredible entry and loved every bit of it. Congrats!
Thanks for the support, everyone!
Yeah, so the thieves/lazy workers are spawned randomly (Lazy more common than thieves) so it's entirely possible that you just got lucky and happened to get more thieves.
Also, there is a bug that when you restart, I think it doesn't respawn the workers! :( I would fix it but I think that's not under the category of something I can fix post-jam. Sorry, and please refresh the page if you want to play another round :( It's possible to get an A as your grade! I'd love to see what everyone got.
Interesting game, felt the objectives (in what exactly you needed to be doing moment-to-moment) were a little unclear, but loved the little quotes everywhere. What kind of porn has pink bats flying in the background? :)
Took a few seconds messing about to work out what to do, but then was fun. Bears and Rabbits seemed pretty easy to get made but kept falling short on the controllers!
A nice idea which would be even better given some more time to sort out levels etc.
Nice graphics and the music also. Well done!
This game has made my day :) Just going around and decide wheter to give tasty mushroom to motivate employee or just end his life and catching boss watching porn ... high fun factor :D
Excellent entry! The theme is integrated very well. I found that I kept running out of workers, even after only killing the thieves, but perhaps I was just unlucky. Great graphics, though! 4.5/5 overall.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
For those trying to get it to work, try refreshing the page a few times. Perhaps a browser cashing issue?
Anyway, good idea ... I found it too easy to KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! ... err wait, feed ... feed ... :)
