The BOSS
This is my entry to the VimJam2 gamejam.
I just saw the theme and was at the same time writing a song and it clicked. So for this game, the idea of the music came first. Then the rest of the game, that in all honesty is not that much of a game, more a music video-game :)
The game is about you being the boss and keeping your boss confidence despite some subtle signals from your employees that you might have been driving them to the edge of sanity.
I am trying to do this game with Unity (haven't tried using it before) and it's a serious asset-flip kind of project. I could blame it on time, but I would probably not be able to make any good graphics and animations even if I had all the time in the world.. But well, code, music and idea are mine. The graphics and animations are all available in the Asset Store.
The music is available below if you want to listen to it. The lyrics can be found on soundcloud.

I'm very bad at this lol! Great game I love the humor and the wizard in the background!
Well, the game is not that easy.. I can finish it, but it's a bit cheating since I happen to know all the traps.
Thanks for playing and I am happy you found the humor entertaining ;)
This game was cool. The music along with the boss strut were pretty humorous. I know there isn't much going on in the gameplay loop but I did find it entertaining. I wanted to hear further into the song though but I sucked at the game and kept dying. I think it would be nice if you had the music continue to play between deaths instead of starting over. It says in your description that you are new to unity, so just incase you didn't know how to have the music not start over you could just attach it to a gameobject with a dont destroy on load function. Also for some reason the actual submission page for this game where you rate won't load that's why I am commenting here. I'll come back and check later and try to actually rate it.
Hi. Thanks for playing.
Thanks for the tip, I was thinking about that, how to be able to keep something static between scenes (but didn't think it was big enough problem this time around.. especially with fighting the animation system and timings). I will definetly check it out.
For now the reward to get further is to hear the rest of the song (I will upload it to soundcloud and if possible link it from the page also since I think the song is definetly the best part of the game).
Again, thanks for playing and for the tip :)
