Office Crashout - 1st Place Winner in the 2025 Viverse Hackathon
Created at the Academy of Art University by Michael Broderick and Adri Denman.
Office Crashout simulates working in an office environment, requiring you to complete multiple tasks within a short period of time. Your coworkers have left on a paid vacation with your boss, and you are left to run the office alone. Prolong your Rage and complete as many tasks as possible before the inevitable "Crashout!" Then destroy anything and everything with weapons and other office supplies for the high score!
Our game won first place in the Games category at the inaugural Viverse Hackathon in late 2025. We developed the game in just over two weeks.
