The crowd/flocking mechanics are extremely cool. Really nice work!

Is it normal that I can't shoot? :( I'm having trouble trying to play...

Nice game you got there.. Plans on finishing? :)

Neat concept, I could sort of see where you wanted to take it. I really appreciated the AI that you'd created - I could see the rioters all bunching together as a big group, the other people circling them as if to watch the riot, some other people dotted about just talking or... jumping ecstatically... even a little store with people looking at. You had a great atmosphere, just a shame you didn't manage to get the gameplay in there. Keep working on it, it seems like a novel idea. :)

Crowd like in assassins creed :D Very funny animation but... We need shoootiiiing!

Thanks everybody for trying the game and the great feedback.

NOTE:
You can shoot. Select weapon with 1, 2, 3 keys. Best is to play fullscreen. The mouse controls need a captured mouse cursor to work properly.

However, it's not about shooting right away.
You're supposed to be a undercover / thug working for the police. The real villain. You need to infiltrate / fire up the crowd so that the police can justify their arrests and get rid of the demonstration.

Unfortunately, there is no negative effect to shooting too early right now.

very cool game, and nice mechanics.

I still had more fun just messing around with this than playing some of the "finished" entries. You guys should continue working on it and submit it to kongregate or something.

Really nice start of something

Cool game! It's a shame that it isn't finished

Good start, I like the crowd mechanic you had in there. Too bad you were unable to finish. Post compo?

Yup, this is a clever idea and could have been a super interesting game with more development.

Cool!

Really cool idea, but I can't figure out what to do. After reading the concept, I really hope you guys decide to keep going.

It seems like systems are working, I just don't know how to use them lol.

Too bad you didn't finish it. The patterns of people are beautiful.

Wow. Nice crowd A.I. there. I didn't realize why there was a huge mob in the center and a circle gathered around them, and I'd thought it was vaguely creepy, and then I realized it was a really hardcore simulation of a riot. Fantastic.

not rated.

you must continue and polish this idea
