Nice entry, it's quite hard to follow the crime-mate, but just staying away from the police was fun.

web entry seem does't work

chocobyte 2012-12-17 15:13

Press a few times F5 and it will start.
There seems to be a problem with loading..

Web version doesn't work with IE10 (Win7 Preview) due to "document.body" being null.

Hard, but a little fun

Nice idea, reminds me of Grand Theft Auto (I wonder if there are more GTA like games in the compo...) But reducing collision boxes would make it more fun, probably! Cops catch you when they seem to be still not touching you! :D

It's almost impossible to evade cops.
Would be nice to have some kind of intro.

chocobyte 2012-12-17 17:11

@Luis Anton you are right, the hitboxes are not that fair..
@dvdking Yes it is hard. But it has also a strategic element - I guarantee it is possible to collect all the 1,5k money and get away :) I wanted to do an intro but ran out of time (and was very tired at the end ^^)

Really fun

Had problems getting it to work with Firefox, but worked with Chrome.

tau7153 2012-12-17 18:21

It won't render for me :(

Rather liked the game. Very simple to grasp & get going. Was fun, and had a good challenge to it. Would be nice if it had some music :)

suese 2012-12-18 13:39

Hmm, I have webGl but it says it can't find it...

chocobyte 2012-12-18 19:38

I just released a fix which will hopefully remove the starting problems.. @agmcleod, I want to make a Developers' cut edition with cool music but I unfortunately have little to nada experience with making cool music ;(

dek 2012-12-18 20:08

Didnt get far :(

chocobyte 2012-12-18 20:21

I really should mention that it is easier to win the game if you use the "strafe"-technique to run faster - press up or down and left/right together - walk diagonally to run faster :o

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-18 20:25

A heist and backstabbing-simulator! Love the story-touch :)

Web version doesn't work.
Chrome console says: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null

Ubuntu 12.10 Chrome 23.0.1271.95

chocobyte 2012-12-18 23:31

Hey, this is weird. I just ran Ubuntu 12.10 Chrome 23.0.1271.97 on a virtual machine and I cant reproduce your error..

pillbrain 2012-12-18 23:32

I enjoyed it, was very hard to do much though, I think perhaps the collision detection with the police should be a little tighter (they kept arresting me when we were not touching). Overall though really good.

chocobyte 2012-12-18 23:37

Thanks man:)

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 05:32

Very cute-hardcore little game. Well done!

krasse 2012-12-19 11:57

Works just fine.
I like the graphics :)

gagapete 2012-12-23 18:40

Good job. Except it is really hard to follow the buddy.

garethjenkins 2012-12-27 10:37

No idea what I'm doing, but felt compelled to move around and not get nicked. Good stuff.

refreshcreations 2012-12-30 01:39

Not bad, although I got frustrated when I found the boundaries of the level to appear to have exits which I couldn't pass through and ended up being caught! Collision boxes seemed a bit on the huge side for the resolution available. Upping the screen space would probably compensate for this in a minch imho. Some fitting graphics in here. Reminds me a lot of ye olde GTA.

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 18:34

Whoa, this game is really hard! Balance the challenge a bit and it'd be a blast!
