An Accountant's Mind

Poor Joe has to work overtime in the office thanks to… capitalism… 

But… he will have none of this nonsense!

Help Joe escape the office using the counting frame in his brain, he is an accountant after all.

Joe is high on energy thanks to an absurd, but needed, amount of cups of joes he had drank. 

Thus, Joe is going to move automatically, and you, the player, will have to help him through the levels by determining what actions he will do at what time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joe moves on a loop, and by placing beads on the frame you control his actions. The location on the frame will determine the timing he will perform the action, and the amount of beads put together determines the size (for example, placing two beads will cause the player to jump higher than one bead). If you want joe to perform multiple actions at the same time, just make sure you place the beads one above the other

Every colored bead is associated with a different action, as detailed below:

Red - Jump over stools, desks, bookcases, and chandeliers. Be careful not to step on legos!

Yellow - Dash at high speed, use together with jumping for maximum effect!

Green - Shield against enemy projectiles using your trusty binder!

Blue - Use a stapler to hit switches or hurt enemies. pay attention, only two or more combined have an effect!

After organizing, press SPACE to start moving. You can still reorganize them while moving, and should do so in order to solve some levels. You right click to have a bead disappear, and press the plus symbols on the frame to bring it back. If you ever get stuck in a level, you can always press R to restart

reach the elevator, and you move to the next level! good luck!
