You are the CEO of a big unnamed game studio. Lately you've been feeling like the profit eating machine a.k.a. your employees aren't making the cut, so it is time for some layoffs. And the most satisfying way to fire your employees is of course to fire them, with a flamethrower. Fire all 21 employees to win!

Lovely artwork and music, perfect atmosphere for firing your employees :)

Loved that the environment also reacted to the fire. Mechanically solid while also adhering to the theme quite well!

Thanks! When looking through my pre-existing music library I first thought of having intense-ish music. But then when I heard this I was like "perfect, this will set the mood right"
