Source: SteamĪnd for me, that’s its flaw as determining how good a job is will be based on you dragging a bar to invest in Technology, Usability and Aesthetic. It’s a fickle thing like real life, and you’re only as good as the last job you did. The latter comes from doing decent work and achieving high rankings. Other than the irritating music, Startup Panic doesn’t feel that manic, other than managing your bank balance and keeping up a reputation. It works well though, and work is work, and any interaction with others is the play part, although you don’t get a say in conversation that much, you do make decisions that affect the results of your business. The dialogue sections are pretty witty and a bit opposite to the main game, which appears to be mostly serious. Additionally, you’re supported by James Snipp (him off of MS Office, replaced by Cortana or whatever her name is).

The graphics reflect the UI as it’s easy to navigate, traits and features are explained well without walls of text. Startup Panic is all about simplicity, but you have to think about what you’re doing too. You don’t need the sounds in Startup Panic anyway as it is no-frills and all about the gameplay, which is good. It’s the kind of tracks you’d find under its own genre ‘inspirational’, but all it inspired me to do was mute it and listen to some Megadeth. It’s so promotional video material – I should know, I use similar tracks for the videos I make for non-game related stuff. No offence intended, but the music makes me want to buy timeshares, plan for my retirement or get some boat shoes for when I go out on the yacht. This lowers the penalties incurred for contracts and improves the duration of marketing and features. Employees – covers training, holidays, motivation and lawsuits for when you tell a joke that offends (I made that last one up).Office – accounts for reduced rent, employee salaries, that sort of thing.To me, they seem quite self-explanatory, but to give you the gist: This is separated into Office, Employees and Development. When you do a good job, you not only get a cookie and sticker, but a trait that can be used to improve your work. So, back into the game and thankfully it continued from where I had left off, so I told that fat cat where to go. Didn’t think that would warrant a game over, you cheeky devs, you. I get it, it’s called Startup Panic, and I sold out. As an IRL freelancer, the security of an employer is appealing (though I’d choose freelance if realistic any day), so when in Rome… I accepted the job only to be presented with a title screen indicating I made the wrong choice. After successfully pulling off some 9 point whatever scores, I gained attention from the big hitters offering me a job.

One thing to give you a heads up on: corporations are bad.

For the record, while I’m a font whore, I have to say Comic Sans is an excellent font for the right reasons, but we’re talking games, not design elitism. You won’t be doing any actual design – no HTML, no PHP, no dodgy clients saying ‘but we all use Comic Sans at work, why can’t we use it for our corporate site?’. No HTML, no PHP, no dodgy clients saying ‘but we all use Comic Sans at work, why can’t we use it for our corporate site?’. I’m in, but this could be a niche title for those either in web development, looking to pursue a career, or just like design type stuff. This is right up my alley (ooer) as I’ve freelanced for many years, web design being one of them.Īllocating a bit of time into something that looks nice with good UI gives me a 9.3 ranking (hopefully out of 10), and I’m given a new trait to use in my arsenal. Using a draggable gauge, you select how much percentage of the project should be on Aesthetics, Usability and Technology. Then there’s the first freelance job that’s come through – design a landing page.

The intro was incredibly brief, followed by scattered tooltips and dialogue boxes to teach one how to play the game. The premise, unbeknown to me, is a cubicle worker that’s had enough of slaving and goes solo. It’s worth a look, right? Startup Panic Review Today’s Startup Panic review originates not only from a review code, meaning I have to review it or will have my eyelids plucked (that’s right, I did type eyelids), but it’s a tinyBuild production, developed by Algo Rocks, and I do like their variety.
