Office Jerk

Some six years after Throw Paper!'s trailblazing work, some new developers have improved the game by upgrading the target from an inanimate wastebasket to a nebbishy nerd in the cubicle across the hall. The player's task: as the self-appointed dispenser of office justice, make the co-worker's life a living hell by throwing various office supplies and bits of garbage at him.

The throw-power and angle scales are gone; now the player merely flicks the screen toward the nerd, correcting for the wind speed adjustment resulting from a shifting desk fan. Solid hits, initially of virtual crumpled paper wads, result in the opponent turning around to glare at you. Peak performance and purchased bonuses include a wider arsenal of messier and more destructive special fire types (eggs, pies, dynamite).
