App of the Week: Office Politics

If multitasking, endless deadlines and unsavory office characters are wearing you down, here’s a chance to get even! Inspired by a real-life office drama, The Little Drummer Boy developed Office Politics, a game that allows players to release pent up frustrations in the virtual world.

Office Politics is based on the classic whack-a-mole arcade game. As employees pop up in your cubicle area, your goal is to eliminate them in a backstabbing spree. The more co-workers you tap/backstab, the quicker you climb the corporate ladder to earn a promotion.

Though you may not be the “office ninja” or “hypocrite” in real life, Office Politics eliminates all guilt, allowing you to adapt a seedy alter ego. The game features 7 spectacularly illustrated characters, and 6 nasty bosses. Each of these characters possesses a unique skill that proves vital to your survival in the office setting.

You may never champion the real-life dynamics of the office, but you can enjoy a little vengeance with Office Politics. And for fans of Office Space, here’s a clip for your enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy3rjQGc6lA.
