✊✊✊ POWER IN NUMBERS ✊✊✊

Grindstone, Inc. is an awful place to work at. But you can't organize a strike all on your own. You will need the help of your NPC coworkers — even if you have to physically pull them away from their screens.

Labor Power is a small Pikmin-inspired game dedicated to class solidarity and the betterment of working conditions. Labor Power took first place at Gamedev.js Jam 2024 (theme: Power)

This is a solid proof of concept, it's biggest problem is the lack of knowing who is who. When I got to the "coder required" doors it was like... okay cool but they all look the same. It should be a "sacrifice" sort of deal. 

The first "manager" attacking you immediately while not being able to quickly open a door was a pain because he was off screen. Not that it was hard, he was off screen.


I didn't feel like playing the whole game because up until I needed to use a mouse, I didn't expect to use a mouse and honestly do not want to.

I'm researching games with radical politics and how they may play a role in activist movements. Fun little game!
Have you made other games on similar themes?

Great game idea, I love the concept, wish there was more, and the attacking is not really well explained I guess, maybe make the player only progress after killing a simple enemy

Short game which is really well-made! Far too short boss fight in my opinion, but well - the process of recruiting employees to be able to approach the real company boss is amazing!

Make The Final Boss Easier Please.

Nice little game. Pushing the boxes causes the game to lag, I don't know if it's just me of if it's a bug. Fun game anyways, thanks for making it :)

pettion to rename the company to studio mappa

Rather cool game. I really liked the concept of a corporate puzzle game with a few age of empires mechanics. Well Done!

Power to the workers! Nice game, thanks for making it!

I found a softlock, you can push a box up against a guy and then it's impossible to recruit him.

ver nice

Dude! Incredible game! I wish there was more <3

i mean its a cool game ngl

what game engine do you use and also its a amazing game

(+1)

Thanks! I use Construct 3 for all of my games

A pretty decent little game about unionising.
I only have one suggestion:
- Add a reset button to bring us back to Level 1 and skip the intro dialogue, and keep it available after finishing the gam
This will help make exiting softlocks (entering a level with not enough lives) and replaying the game faster.

(+1)

good game, very unconventional though

what game enginE?

(+1)

I use Construct 3 for all of my projects

Sure love communism

(+43)(-1)

It's not communism to found a union in order to demand that you be treated like actual human beings, no matter what the big wigs like to tell you!

(+1)(-56)

My guy, the whole message of the game is communism. The worst ideology ever created.

(+23)

Red Eight Zero speaks the truth.

(+15)

Besides, who else loves launching humans at the higher ups?

(+14)

"The labor may be bitter but its fruits are always sweet" is really lovely. Great game!
