Laser Layoffs gameplay on RoamPlay free now

Laser Layoffs gives you a laser instead of a stapler. One thumb moves you around a top-down office, the other turns your beam, and anything it sweeps across gets zapped. Chain hits for combos, guard your three hearts and clear Floor 1 in three parts. It is a twin stick shooter with an office comedy setup, played in the Roam app on iPhone.

Left thumb, right thumb

  1. Use the left joystick to move around the office.
  2. Use the right stick to turn your beam; the hint says 'Right thumb: turn your beam'.
  3. Press HOLD when you need it, and keep an eye on the beam bar.
  4. Zap coworkers in a row for combos and dodge danger to keep your hearts.

What makes the office fun

  • A sweeping beam instead of bullets, so you aim in arcs
  • Combos for zapping coworkers back to back
  • Desks and crowds that turn each floor into a maze
  • Short speech bubbles that add office comedy

A twin stick shooter with a beam

Twin stick shooters usually mean bullets: one stick to move, one to fire in a direction. Laser Layoffs keeps the two sticks but gives you a continuous beam. You do not tap at targets, you sweep through them.

That makes the game about angles. A good sweep through a row of desks can catch several coworkers in one pass.

Who gets the joke

It suits players who like quick arcade action with a joke at its core. Floors are split into parts, so it fits a few minutes at a time.

If you have ever wanted to clear out the office on a bad Monday, this is the cartoon version.

Tips for bigger combos

Keep the beam moving. A slow, steady sweep through a crowd chains more hits than flicking back and forth.

Look for lines of coworkers. A group standing in a row is where long combos come from. Watch your hearts, though: the danger on each floor does not wait for you to finish a combo, and three hearts go fast if you stand still.

Laser Layoffs FAQ

Do I need to pay for Laser Layoffs?

No. Clearing the office is free in the Roam app on iPhone.

How do the two sticks work in Laser Layoffs?

Left joystick to move, right stick to turn your laser beam, plus a HOLD button. It plays like a twin stick shooter.

Is Laser Layoffs violent?

It is cartoon violence. Coworkers are blocky low-poly characters who get zapped by a laser, with no realistic gore. The office setting is played for laughs, with speech bubbles and silly crowds.

What is the goal on each floor?

Clear the floor part by part (Floor 1 has three) while keeping your hearts.
