Nice work.

I like the vision mechanic and the global idea.
The possibility to go outside should be avoided, it allowed to wait for people to spawn without being caught by the cops.

@Coolapsydo

Thanks for catching that bug, fixed now :)

Hey this game seems oddly familiar ;)
Loving the retro style right down to the Atari-esque 'fail' jingle. Only thing maybe worth changing is making the people run a little slower when they're running away - since they run the same speed/faster than the player it's pretty much pointless to chase them, where as I think encouraging that final chase through the halls would be fun (maybe even make speed proportional to health?)

I like the vision mechanic, even if the villain moves a bit slowly, and the music was absolutely PERFECT. I also liked the fact there weren't one-hit kills: you sort of had to "buy-in" to the evil act. Overall, solid old-school feel.

good job. good idea. good concept. i enjoyed playing.
i think that you should add restart option.

The music set the mood really well, it's amazing how even simple music and graphics can create such a great atmosphere if done right. The whole thing felt incredibly sinister, the field of vision fed into that really well too, I felt like a genuine serial killer lurking in alleyways waiting to strike. I think you've got a lot right with this game, well done

Great concept. I think a darker enviroment will be better suited for the theme of this game. Also, good music and SFXs!
The villan is a little bit slow, but who care, I've got my saw!

The audio adds a lot, quite unnerving. Controls are kind of sluggish, the victims seem to be casually walking even when a serial killer is chasing them.

I wish I had owned this for Atari when I was young. I laughed so hard when I first saw the blood. So rewarding.

OMG the soundtrack makes me really uneasy! I love it!

This is quality stuff. the difficulty progression feels nice. It's hard but not too hard if you know what you're doing. Pretty good graphics, great unnerving music. Really good overall.

its fun, but how do you win? i butchered everyone including the cops

alexrose 2012-12-20 23:07

I found this actually really fun. Made me chuckle at the start too. The music really fit well.

Nice one.

I didn`t get to win,but this was very fun! appart from the graphics,this game feels very atari-like . And this is definitely a game i would buy for my atari. Nicely done =]

rujomarco 2012-12-21 09:25

i like the concept and the realization!
maybe a little difficult and graphics could be improved but for the time available its ok.
