It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Be a CEO)

About

It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Be a CEO) casts you as an underdog employee climbing the ranks of a brutal corporate hierarchy. This 2D platformer mixes fast-paced jumping with environmental hazards and timed challenges. The dystopian office is a maze of traps, overeager coworkers, and security drones. Each level pushes you higher through the building while balancing platforming precision and quick reflexes. The pixel art style evokes retro gaming with bold colors and smooth animations. A synth-heavy soundtrack amplifies the tense, high-stakes atmosphere. The game's humor shines through exaggerated corporate absurdity. From malfunctioning elevators to rival departments, every floor introduces new obstacles. The title's callback to AC/DC’s classic anthem adds a cheeky layer. While the difficulty can be punishing, the satisfaction of mastering each section is sharp. With tight controls and a self-aware tone, it offers a fresh take on the genre. The 80s-inspired design feels both nostalgic and distinct, making the climb to the top memorable despite the grind.
