Good Job!

The player controls the son of a CEO of a major megacorporation; their goal is to complete tasks throughout the building to climb the corporate ladder. These goals are common office tasks, such as setting up a projector for a conference meeting. These tasks can be completed in a multitude of ways, although most can be described as either "non-destructive" or "chaotic"; for example, the player could either navigate the projector throughout the rooms, or simply form a slingshot and launch it through the walls instead. Upon completing the task, the player is graded on how long it took to complete the level, as well as the number of objects destroyed and the monetary repair costs for damage; although grades are given for all three of these, the overall grade is generally based around time, so causing costly damage but completing the level quickly will still result in a good overall grade.

The gameplay is broken up into levels with each level being a different floor that covers a different type of business. Clothing pieces can be found throughout the game that allow the player to customize their character's appearance. The game supports local multiplayer with one other person, allowing for two players to complete the puzzles at one time.

Most of the developers at Paladin Studios had played games from Nintendo, and had been trying to do a collaboration for about ten years. Nintendo's producer, Takao Nakano, played some of the company's mobile games, and believed they put care into them. A team from Nintendo met with the company in 2017, and was interested in a prototype conceptualized by Paladin Studios. Paladin Studios wanted to make a game that was easily accessible to a broad audience; they wanted a game that could be enjoyed by children and adults, as well as one that had simple controls.

They decided to set the game in an office setting, as it was easily recognizable and would allow players to use common objects in surprising ways. They liked the contrast of a mundane office setting with chaotic and destructive actions.

Good Job! received "generally favorable" reviews, receiving a 78% on review aggregator platform Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 80% of critics.

Eurogamer reviewer Christian Donlan praised the increased difficulty of each level, saying how it fit well with the silly graphics and theme.
