About Laser Guy
Laser Guy is a top-down shooter that plays more like a puzzle. You control an alien office worker in the middle of a laser allergy attack, and he has to make it to the infirmary without hurting any of his co-workers on the way.
The office is full of desks, chairs, potted plants and a water cooler, and your colleagues are standing around in it. You move with the keyboard and aim with the mouse, so the challenge is less about blasting things and more about finding angles and routes that keep everyone else safe.
It has a goofy sense of humor and chunky pixel art, and his name badge reads Harold, with LASER GUY scrawled underneath in red. This is the original game jam version, made in two days. You can play Laser Guy online here on a computer, and Laser Guy free in the browser takes only a short sitting to try.
How to Play Laser Guy
- Click inside the game window first.
- Move with W, A, S and D.
- Aim with the mouse or touchpad.
- Work out a path through the office toward the infirmary.
- Keep your lasers pointed away from your co-workers, since hurting them is exactly what you're trying to avoid.
What to Expect in Laser Guy
Expect a comedy with a puzzle hiding inside a shooter. You'll spend as much time thinking about where not to aim as where to aim, and moving through a crowded office with a dangerous condition is the joke and the challenge at once.
Laser Guy is compact, with a cheerful office setting, furniture to weave around and a purple alien in a shirt and tie as the hero. It's a quick, silly game that rewards patience over fast trigger fingers.
Tips for Laser Guy
- Look before you move. Plan a route to the infirmary that keeps your aim clear of everyone else.
- Park your aim on an empty wall or corner while you walk past people.
- Use a mouse rather than a touchpad if you can. Finer aim makes tight squeezes easier.
- Move in short steps near co-workers so you do not overshoot into trouble.
- Treat it like a puzzle, not a shooter. Rushing is how colleagues get hurt.
