So wait... is this Waldo from Where's Waldo? That would explain a lot about his whereabouts in those books, actually.
The game is good fun. I only got to level 6 so I'll give it another go!

The graphics gave me that windows 16 vibe, good times. Fun game.
Wow, it really is Waldo. Find Waldo! At level 9, I finally forgot what one of my targets looked like, and I was done. Great game! Could have used better audio, for sure, but every other part of this is nice!
Nice game.
Very cool concept, and well designed! Reducing the accuracy after a shot balances it out nicely.
Very funny twist on the "find Waldo" theme. Could do with a more beefy gun pointer (it's a bit too easy to miss) and better SFX, but overall quite fun!
Hum, XNA games don't seem to work on my work computer. I'm gonna try this one out at home tonight~!
Interesting game.
That awkward moment where you forget who your targets are...
Clever concept, and I like that you added some variety with the settings. :D
I had fun playing Waldo. Got to level 12 or so, didn't find any bugs. Besides improved graphics and sounds, you could have added a scoring system (bonus points for headshots, kill while running, and penalty points for killing the wrong target). Overall it was a great little game.
My favorite for the moment. Really great game, smart.
I really liked this entry, but the audio could have been better. nice job :D
Damn! I can't play it! doesn't work for me (Win7 + NET 4.0). Any clue?
@Xavier: It worked on both of my PCs, one of them is running Windows 7. Did you get any error message? Can you play any other XNA game? Maybe you can try reinstalling the frameworks (both .NET and XNA).
Cool game! I like the idea a lot.
Cool idea and pretty good implmentation. Would be great game on mobile phones.
Level 14 :) Forgot my targets a few levels earlier and just shot at everyone. Fun game!
Despite forgetting targets is easy I guess that is the difficulty of the game.
Nice game :)
lol such an interestingly enjoyable game!
Great work!
The simplicity worked out fine.
Definately has a Ski free vibe to it. As a note, I found it possible to sit at the targets screen and wait for the targets to walk into view and identify them while still seeing my target. You may be better off if you hid the crowd until after the targets list has been closed and the level starts.
Simple but lots of fun. Good idea and gameplay.
Pretty good. I liked the shooting mechanics, and the way the people on the street would scatter after a shot is fired. Some screaming sound effects might have helped sell the action a little bit, but overall this is pretty good!
Can't play games on windows :-(
I really like the idea of being a hitman. I like how the crowd scatters when you shoot. Very cool game.
liked it, was challenging and well thought
Very cool, it's really satisfying in a very sick way. I like the various clothing designs.
Nice game, I really like the concept. Three suggestions: hide the playing field while the targets are showing so that the player has to memorize them beforehand, add a severe penalty for shooting people who aren't the target, and give some kind of bonus for headshots.
Sorry, can't rate since I don't have windows.
Cute game. Quite fun to make civs "dance" by shooting either side of them :D
Very solid game! The things I like:
- People turn and it gets difficult to find them if you only see them from the side.
- People run if you miss them.
- Remembering the multiple accessoirs.
- The well balanced time for searching them.
What you could make better:
- Improve the graphics and audio (music).
- Make a penalty for spamming shots.
The name really fits the game, it was tough to remember who I was supposed to get (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing).
Very well executed!
Nice job!
Interesting concept. I thought more than once to create a game which resembles this. :)
very good game ,fortunately too many innocent people had died
;)
Cool game ! I had fun ! Congrats :)
The gameplay got a little boring for me personally, but the concept is nice. Well done.
Nice game from a simple idea. Got to level 9 :)
Nice random people generator. Love the way people start fleeing when you start shooting. Would be nice to be able to bring up list of targets again, but I suppose memory is a factor to playing this game. Granted, one could always take a screenshot of the target screen and have that in another window while playing the game.
Overall a nice game. Got a bit repetitive after few levels but that's normal given the time constraint.
Like the fact that sometime you are not sure about the target because characters are similar.
This is really good fun! Although on one playthrough the targets never turned to face me, although probably because they were the only ones left alive.....
I have to admit I didn't expected this to be really entertaining. The graphics are simple but the procedural generation (I suppose) of the people and targets works great! I love the fact that people are running around when there's a shot. There are great ideas in this game. Even though there doesn't seem to be a great mood here, I felt somehow dirty while playing this, as is I were a real villain.
