About Slack Man

You control a little office worker character, navigating through what looks like a series of cubicle-filled floors. Your main goal is to collect every doughnut scattered around the level. The twist is a boss character that patrols the area; if he spots you, you have to avoid him. You can move with the arrow keys, and there's usually an action, like a spacebar press, that lets your character perform a "slack attack" to maybe stun the boss or interact with the environment. The levels are compact, and the challenge comes from timing your movements to grab the last doughnuts while the boss is looking the other way. It feels like a tense, quiet game of hide and seek in a brightly colored office.
