Laser Guy is an anti-shooter about surviving your day job without vaporizing your coworkers
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Laser Guy is a clever twin-stick puzzle game where you must navigate an office environment without accidentally vaporizing your coworkers with uncontrollable eye lasers.
Developer Point N' Sheep has revealed Laser Guy, an upcoming twin-stick game that flips traditional mechanics on their head. Instead of mowing down waves of enemies, you play as an anxious game developer who shoots uncontrollable beams from his single eye. Since catching a coworker in your line of sight means instant failure and a room restart, the experience plays out more like a tactical puzzle than a standard action title.
Progression relies heavily on spatial awareness and environmental manipulation. Furniture can temporarily block your lethal gaze, giving you safe zones to navigate, while trickier rooms introduce smokescreens, volatile explosive devices, and mirrors for precision beam reflection. It is a clever spin on the genre that trades bullet-hell chaos for high-stakes positional discipline.
As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the game wears its retro browser aesthetic proudly, channeling the nostalgic charm of classic Flash puzzle games. For players looking to test their restraint, a playtest is currently open on Steam alongside the usual wishlist option, offering a quick glimpse into this chaotic workplace simulator.
