12 itemsAbout the Game
Hardly Workin' is a chaotic office sim where you play as Buddy Inepta, a supreme slacker. Your goal? Slack off just enough to stay awake, dodge your boss, and manage to finish all your work before 5:00 PM.
Silly Meter
Your Silly Meter keeps you awake. If it hits zero, you'll doze off and get fired! Stay silly to stay employed.
Silly Tasks
Toss paper, fish into other cubicles, or cook a pizza! Your cubicle is your oyster-explore it and find fun ways to get silly!
Evil Karen
Boss lady Karen is always on patrol. Get caught slacking three times and you'll be promoted to customer >:(
Work Tasks
Finish your work tasks on the computer before 5:00 PM or you're toast! Done early? A clock out button becomes available from your desktop once you're ready to call it a day.
Coworker Chit-Chat
Coworkers will drop by with questions! Answer correctly and get a big boost to your Silly Meter. Hints are scattered around your cubicle, so keep your eyes peeled!
