Your boss has decided to embrace minimalism

Multiplayer Local Co-op GameDevWeek 2025

The Concept

Your boss has decided to embrace minimalism – and now it's time to clear your office space!

In this chaotic multiplayer game for two or four players, you need to throw, carry and shove your furniture into your opponent's side to create more room. With different object sizes and tricky barriers, your goal is to have less clutter in your area than your opponent after the timer ends.

Speed and strategy are key to becoming Employee of the Month!

How to Play

Create more space on your side of the office than your opponent by pushing, carrying or throwing furniture and supplies into their space. After the timer runs out, the player with the least clutter wins.

  • Object Manipulation: Push, carry, and throw various office items
  • Strategic Barriers: Navigate around tricky obstacles
  • Size Variety: Different objects have different weights and handling
  • Multiplayer Chaos: Compete with 2-4 players simultaneously
  • Time Pressure: Race against the clock to clear your space

Controllers needed to play - This game is designed for local multiplayer with gamepad support.

Development

This game was developed as part of the GameDevWeek Trier 2025 over 7 days. The theme was "The Edge of Chaos/The more there is, the worse it gets" - which perfectly inspired the chaotic office cleaning concept.

The development team worked intensively to create a polished multiplayer experience that captures the absurdity of office life while delivering engaging competitive gameplay.
