Funny as hell

Really funny, loving the idea of stopping cops by throwing donuts. But, to be honest, the levels could be smaller, or you could automatically win by collecting the necessary money - in the first level I managed to get about 1000$ before reaching the car, and it took quite a lot of time (growing weight didn't help either).

Dat voice over

Idea is great, policeman eating donuts is cute (nom nom nom), but others sounds.. my ears, they are bleeding! But in overall it's good and funny game.

Thank you for the feedback. Your points are very valid. Time ran out so i just put in some numbers for level length and stuff. Lesson learned for next LD: level design > graphics ;)

OMNOMNOM! This cop has a bottomless stomach.

such great audio and humor, fantastic job!

Great game like the idea just a little bit slow paste

great audio :)

Good graphics, but it's rather hard to out run the policeman.

Very nice music! But the grandma sound is too loud to the point of making me spare them and attack only the guy =D. Simple and fun! congrats.

a fun little game. nice idea and executed well. really appreciate the foley sounds, but some of the sound effects were really shrill/loud (specifically the 'oh no' and 'you got busted' sound effects) and that a bit of a problem. other then that, cool game.

I like the audio and the donut throwing, nice game :)

I give you the best audio award!

I lost an ear at the first level, but the gameplay was good and it was fun !

Nice game, very entertaining, some recomendations:
1. give the player some hint about how far away the car is, like a progress bar or just a percentage display
2. use noise filtering when recording sounds near to your computer, the noise of your fan is a bit annoying (audacity can do this)

Nice little game, love the sprites. It would nice if you could drop some of your loot when the cop almost catches you.

someone 2012-12-20 23:14

Haha, that was great.

I really like it! It's a lot of fun, pretty to look at and generally solid. There's a couple of specific things I'd like to point how, though:

- The woman's screaming sound is way too loud and becomes annoying.
- In the last level, I robbed every single person I came across and still didn't have enough money at the end. On my third try I won, but you should be careful not to have the level be impossible.
- If your game uses the keyboard, then so should the menu.
- I saw people walking around outside of the level, which looked a tad weird, but I'm just nitpicking at this point.

I had a lot of fun with it! The game could definitely be expanded with more mechanics post-comp, but I'm glad you didn't add any more levels, as it would become pretty boring soon enough. Great job!

You could always throw the donut backward, but I think it is an extra challenge. Awesome job!

Fun idea. :)

mortalwombat 2013-01-04 14:43

Mhmm, nom, nom, nom! Lovely!

Great voice-overs! Though I agree that some of them are too loud. The game felt too easy, I can pretty much throw a doughnut towards the cop offscreen indefinitely. Maybe if he moves up and down in some random intervals. The level progression didn't seem to increase the difficulty. Overall a fun game, there's a lot of personality in the graphics and voice.
