Awesome! I love it!
OH MAN. As usual, your game is friggin' hilarious and unique.
I LOVE THIS.
Right off the bat I got a POPULOUS feel. Even though there are no instructions, I was able to figure out what to do really quickly. It's very intuitive. The visual style is rad and consistent, the gameplay is fresh and challenging, and it's HILARIOUS!
GAH!
I WANT YOUR POWERS!
Nice little concept. I managed to buy all the gifts on my third run - if you get five or so people signed up in one corner early on, you can keep them safe, then once you have ten or so people in that corner you can start closing trapdoors faster than they open. You just need to get ahead of the curve :D
This is brilliant! love the take on the theme :D
Simply awesome ! Inventive, fun and smart. Good job.
I played without reading your blurb and in a minute knew what was going on that for -some- reason I wanted those things.. Snd hated myself just a little each time I bought them. Great game, intuitive and fun.
Fantastic.
Reminds me a bit of that game that the UK indies made recently about the life of an American stock broker. Very biting.
Great work!
Great and amazing!
That was fantastic. The back story and the desperate struggle against the inevitable really makes the game interesting.
Original and out of the box. Until you fall into one. Good design. Now bank those high-heels! OMG Shoes!
Awesome self balancing gameplay. Nice take on the theme. Good job!
Fun! Too bad about the lack of win screen.
Brilliant take on the theme!
Great entry well done - it was quite enjoyable and very funny!
Crazy but fun. This I think is one of the more creative uses of the theme.
Insidious twist on the theme. I like it.
Nifty graphics, got a wonderful simplicity that fits perfectly with the scheme of things - a somewhat bland expression that speaks to the very life of the insurance salesman. Are we, perhaps, seeing the world through his eyes, filled with cattle ripe for the milking with simple pitfalls that to avoid?
And you're getting a third thumbs up for the ludicrous dev notes... "they were going to say funny things". Lol :P I guess that's what Valve had written up for Freeman in Half-Life, too X-)
