What's inside

Full fighting-game drama. Office stakes.

Everything below is in the game today, from the avatar editor to Career mode.

01 / build

Build your own cartoon colleague

A deep avatar editor makes a fighter that looks like you, or at least like you on a good day. Everyone is drawn in ink, in side profile, with a proper fighting stance.

  • Dozens of hairstyles, outfits, glasses, hats and body types
  • A desk slogan and a job title, both language-filtered
  • Purely cosmetic: no photos, and no stat changes
  • A full-screen character select, with a personnel file for every fighter
The employee profile editor: a side-profile cartoon fighter beside tabs for details, body, face, hair, outfit, moves, flair and packs
The employee profile. Per my last email, I am a lab coat.

Choose your employee. Same stats as everyone else.
02 / invite

Start an office. Share one link.

Name your office and send colleagues a link, or stick the QR code on the kitchen noticeboard. Then walk the office floor, read everyone's desk plaque and pick your target.

  • Invite by link or QR code, no accounts to create
  • Walk a side-scrolling floor of colleagues' desks
  • Challenge anyone, or warm up at the Water Cooler against the AI
  • Admins approve members and can remove anyone in one tap

03 / fight

A real move list

Four buttons: Light, Heavy, Special and Super. Easy to land your first special, plenty to master after.

  • 48 specials and 12 supers, from Reply-All Storm to Restructure
  • Six traits that trade one strength for another
  • Eight stages, each with a 5pm Friday variant and opt-in hazards, picked on a full-screen stage select
  • Seven bosses, from The Temp to the CEO, each with a gimmick

04 / kits

Every character fights differently

Each colleague has a signature moveset and their own projectiles, so picking a fighter changes how you play. Everyone still has the same stats.

  • IT Guy fires Ping Flood data cubes; Sales Bro flicks a Business Card
  • The Cleaner sets a Wet Floor Sign and works a Leaf Blower
  • A personnel file on the character select lists their moves
  • Same health, speed and hitboxes for all: only the moves differ

05 / impact

Hits you can feel

Every hit type now has its own hand-inked impact, with office debris flying and the odd comic word to rub it in.

  • Light, heavy, special, counter, block, throw and super each look different
  • Flying paper, staples and sticky notes
  • Comic words like CC'D! and ESCALATED!, never on every hit

06 / career

Get the promotion

Career is single player and needs no office. Climb the org chart past every colleague, then the boss in the corner office, to earn a new job title.

  • Five levels, Super easy to Brutal, each with its own title: Team Lead, Manager, Senior Manager, Director, CEO
  • Cleared levels get a tick, and you are nudged to the next one
  • On harder levels you get sick days to retry a lost fight

07 / online

Live fights. Ghost fights.

Face a colleague head to head online, with rollback netcode so a laggy Wi-Fi network does not decide a dispute. Not at their desk? Fight their ghost: a copy of how they play, ready any time.

  • Live online fights with rollback netcode
  • Ghost fights when they are away from their desk
  • Spectate a fight in progress from the Hub
  • Push notifications when you are challenged (iPhone)
  • Pass the phone for two players on one screen, or plug in gamepads

08 / friends

Fight a friend. No office needed.

Send anyone a link and fight them live. People you have fought are saved to your Friends list with your head-to-head record, and a tap invites them to a rematch.

  • Challenge anyone with a link, with nothing to set up
  • Friends show online status and your win-loss record
  • Tap a friend to invite them to a rematch
  • Nearby: find people on the same Wi-Fi with the game open and fight them live
  • Same-screen 2 player too, with each player choosing their stick side

09 / league

Lunchtime politics

Run a lunchtime bracket, climb the Sprint board and get your Performance Review. Everything is scored from verified fights, so the results hold up.

  • Lunchtime brackets with a semi-final and a final
  • Standings, Elo, a weekly Sprint board and seasonal Performance Review
  • Kudos for combos, counters and perfect rounds
  • Titles, taunts and win poses to rub it in politely

10 / replay

Replays, highlights and clips

Every fight is a short file of inputs, so you can watch it back frame by frame. Switch to Highlights for the knockouts, supers and comebacks, then send the clip to the group chat.

  • Highlight reels cut automatically from your fights
  • Shareable video clips, 15 to 30 seconds
  • Every replay is re-run by the game to verify the result

The one rule

Always a fair fight

The new hire has the same chance as the Head of Synergy. Looks are free to change, and nothing you unlock makes you stronger.

Identical stats
Every fighter has the same health, speed and hitboxes. Body type, height and outfit are cosmetic.
Unlocks
Moves and traits are trade-offs, kept in check by a power-budget audit.
Verified
Results are checked by replaying the fight, so nobody can fudge a win.

Getting started

Three steps to a dispute

  1. Build yourself

    Fill in your employee profile. Pick a hairstyle, a regrettable tie and a desk slogan.

  2. Start an office

    Name it, copy the link or QR code, and send it to the team. They join in seconds.

  3. Take it outside

    Walk the floor, pick a colleague and press Fight. Or lunge at the Water Cooler.

Questions

Do I have to install anything?

No. All Hands runs in your browser at allhands.jeremymarks.com.au, and you can add it to your home screen. iPhone and Android betas are open too: join the beta.

How do I play on a phone?

Turn it sideways. Drag on the left to move; the four buttons on the right are Light, Heavy, Special and Super. In pass-the-phone mode each player gets half the screen.

Is it based on real people?

Only the ones you choose to make. Avatars are cartoons you build yourself, with no photos, ever. Names, job titles and slogans go through a language filter, and anyone can report or block another player.

Can I play without starting an office?

Yes. Career mode is single player and needs no office, and you can challenge anyone with a friend link. People you have fought are saved to your Friends list, and Nearby finds people on the same Wi-Fi.

Does spending money make you stronger?

No. Every fighter has identical health, speed and hitboxes, and looks are purely cosmetic. Moves and traits are trade-offs, checked by a power-budget audit.

What happens to my data?

Avatars are cartoons, and the game collects no photos, contacts or location. The privacy policy explains the rest. Read the privacy policy
