The topics of the Game Jam were "stuff you can throw" and "sitting in the office on the sunniest day". Anyway, the idea behind the game was this: you are the office manager and need to take care of your employees. They have different tasks such as sorting files, copying documents, making coffee,... But it is so sunny and warm outside that your workers keep falling asleep and daydreaming. So your task is to close the blinds and wake them up again.
This was a very nice idea but we were running out of time and into issues with flash.. Our cool office is rectangular, to avoid complicated pathfinding. The different tasks were reduced to copying files at first. We used sonic sprites for testing purposes which we exchanged here for licensing purposes. Then the Flash source file of my artist broke. What is left is Sonic or, in this case, "Surge", the bunny walking to the red cubes (photocopier) and falls asleep in the light (the yellow areas) (idle animation). You can close the window by clicking on the blue cube (the blinds) with your mouse. By doing the same, you can also wake the employees -er- Sonics -er- Surges. Anyway, here it is.
USF-Surge is taken from Redshrike under CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence and can be found here . It is a part of Open Surge, an open source "clone" of Sonic the hedgehog.

This game was created in 8 hours. Why so short? Maybe this article can help: What is a Game Jam.
