So I've been working on this little game for a while now.
Here is the first publicly playable version.
The game is about Bob who works in an office.

Not complete in any sense yet, and there are plenty of little issues (I'm looking at you Entity.collides), but perhaps you can get some idea where I wanted to go with this :)

Forgot to mention: only tested in Chrome for now.

A bit of exploration in an apparently constraining--slightly sluggish core mechanics + cubicles--and uneventful world, until I met the boss, that is. Then a mission. I played on, collecting reports, until I realized I was in an impasse (2 reports out of 3; without means to return to the first desk). During that time, the game had me. A good start.

I was really impressed with the different 'effects' you put together (the flashing lights, shaking screen) so that looks great. Keep it up :)

good work! sent you an email

I really loved the sound effects and the plot, the interactions were a nice addition to the game, how did you make it so that when the player presses the 'C' button a box containing text would show up?

Also interested in that type of notification, are you interested in sharing? Selling?

I don't know how specific I should be, but the sum it up: there is basically a <div> element hanging over the canvas constantly. Then from within game I am using regular jQuery methods to set the text and fadein/fadeout the box.

Cool game, I came to the "under construction part" but with merely 11 thingies :)

I was a bit flustered when suddenly there were agents chasing me, I would have thought this game was without enemies but it worked. The level design and the story was surprisingly good, I also liked that there seemed to be plenty of save points. Polish up those graphics and I can see this game being very good!

When I started this game I admit I judged it on the graphics, and thought it would be just a silly platformer, but after a while was very surprised! I love the twist and the slow build story.
I'd like to see this with better graphics and I think it'll be a great game

I'm sad that I can't get any more than 16 of those gems in this version of the game.

Oh. It seems I have now found a way to get all 31 diamonds.
This game seriously needs to be completed as soon as possible.

@mattTheBro There is a version "2" on my to-do list. I have sort of promised myself I'll be working on it sometime during this year :)
