Labor Power
✊✊✊ POWER IN NUMBERS ✊✊✊
Grindstone, Inc. is an awful place to work at. But you can't organize a strike all on your own. You will need the help of your NPC coworkers — even if you have to physically pull them away from their screens.
Labor Power is a small Pikmin-inspired game dedicated to class solidarity and the betterment of working conditions. Labor Power took first place at Gamedev.js Jam 2024 (theme: Power)

Nice little game!
This is a solid proof of concept, it's biggest problem is the lack of knowing who is who. When I got to the "coder required" doors it was like... okay cool but they all look the same. It should be a "sacrifice" sort of deal.
The first "manager" attacking you immediately while not being able to quickly open a door was a pain because he was off screen. Not that it was hard, he was off screen.
I didn't feel like playing the whole game because up until I needed to use a mouse, I didn't expect to use a mouse and honestly do not want to.
HARD tip you can plush blocks at mangers to make them cant attack it make them get put in jails lol
I'm researching games with radical politics and how they may play a role in activist movements. Fun little game!
Have you made other games on similar themes?
only way to kill is to spam
don't even aim just spam

Very nice little game!
you should add a spy enemy that is secretly a manager (or like a board member lol that would be funny)
Call em HR
✊✊✊ Solidarity! ✊✊✊
Great game idea, I love the concept, wish there was more, and the attacking is not really well explained I guess, maybe make the player only progress after killing a simple enemy
Make The Final Boss Easier Please.
This game got me feeling like
muito bom o jogo, gostei da jogabilidade
Nice little game. Pushing the boxes causes the game to lag, I don't know if it's just me of if it's a bug. Fun game anyways, thanks for making it :)
Great game but the level design could be improved
I like the message of this game. Thank you for sharing it.
I love this latte lib...uh I wish I had a boring office job. Haha 11/10
Depends on the office. I speak from experience this game is 100% lore accurate...
Nice game w a great message
Super fun and cute! Very nice, I like how you got a lot of animation out of a single frame with the bounciness :)
pettion to rename the company to studio mappa
Rather cool game. I really liked the concept of a corporate puzzle game with a few age of empires mechanics. Well Done!
Power to the workers! Nice game, thanks for making it!
I found a softlock, you can push a box up against a guy and then it's impossible to recruit him.
ver nice
Dude! Incredible game! I wish there was more <3
i mean its a cool game ngl
what game engine do you use and also its a amazing game
Thanks! I use Construct 3 for all of my games
A pretty decent little game about unionising.
I only have one suggestion:
- Add a reset button to bring us back to Level 1 and skip the intro dialogue, and keep it available after finishing the gam
This will help make exiting softlocks (entering a level with not enough lives) and replaying the game faster.
good game, very unconventional though
