About the Game



Punch, kick, slice, dice, burn, blast, staple-gun, fireball, jackhammer, and chainsaw your way up the corporate ladder solo or with a 'friend' in a truly hostile work environment. And remember: every red stickman you defeat is one dead red stickman closer to a promotion!

WHAT DO WE DO HERE?

Here at this great company, we do the thing. To be clear: the thing is what we do. But can YOU do the thing? Do you know the deadly art of the handshake? Can you perform an exploding heart punch? Successful applicants will be issued a range of brutal weaponry to help them become the boss. But watch out: everyone else wants the job too.

THE ONLY WAY UPWARDS IS SIDEWAYS

Stickmen need jobs, but more importantly, shareholders need growth. Climb to the top of the tower to crush your boss's nuts, and please note that 50% of office work is kicking stickmen out of windows. Deliver parcels and dash from task to task, with lots of murder in between.

BECOME THE BOSS

Fight other CEOs for the prestige of being the CEO with the biggest muscles. Perform dubiously legal tasks critical to expanding the company. Steal cars, suppress protestors, and kidnap building inspectors, all in the name of profit. Because without profit, there is nothing. NOTHING!
