Good little game :)

bvanschooten 2013-08-26 19:14

I find the idea that you have to figure out which character you control interesting.

Great! Absolutely the best submit I've played this far.

feysoura 2013-08-26 20:09

Awesome! Very original.
The music was reeeaaally annoying, thou.

teddy 2013-08-26 20:11

It is a fun arcade like game. It got a bit repetitive though. maybe have them advance through levels faster (like add 3 people each round?)

ddionisio 2013-08-26 20:14

Interesting mechanic, first figuring out who you are. Not only is it a game about demophobia, but also a lost sense of identity after being a hero in various roles! Yeah, I'll go with that!

This is great, I really like the central mechanic at play here, makes for a fast, fun, chaotic kinda game. Great stuff.

skye 2013-08-27 04:33

this game is very addicting

lizengland 2013-08-27 05:45

Very clever mechanic. Most LD games ramp up the difficulty too fast but I thought this was just about right.

casimps1 2013-08-27 07:14

Interesting mechanic. Reminds me of Hidden in Plain Sight. I got kinda bored with it after a while though.

Sorry, but the music is really obnoxious to me. That alone made me want to stop playing.

fullmontis 2013-08-27 08:14

Nice idea, but it is quite easy to understand who you are once you get the mechanics.

kimidori 2013-08-27 14:35

fun game. ;)

jimanzium 2013-08-28 09:35

Interesting idea, fun to play for a few minutes.

pixelfan 2013-08-28 10:52

Curious game, very funny, i like it. Good music!

diptoman 2013-08-28 10:57

Is it just me or is the link not working?

tanser 2013-08-28 12:34

Very nice idea, good job.

arcturusdeluxe 2013-08-28 13:13

The thing about having to work out which character you are is really cool, I don't think I've ever seen that before, so that's pretty interesting. Not a big fan of the music to be honest, but the game itself is good.

reaperguy 2013-08-28 13:21

Really innovative idea! Managed to get to level 23, but things got too chaotic. Great game!

ratalaika 2013-08-28 16:19

good job

kad 2013-08-28 16:45

Fun chibi game, I had a strategy of starting doing a circle until the anti heroes were too much to handle...

boneloaf 2013-08-28 20:06

Fun game with an Interesting and testing control scheme.

Identifying the character in a crowd within a strict time limit felt like an exciting and stressful Where's Waldo? / Wally? book, similar to having a parent shout 'WHERE IS HE?' repeatedly at you when you're reading a Waldo book.

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-29 03:37

Although im not quite sure why there would be a bathroom in the middle of nature, I did love the game. Sometimes you really do get tripped up wondering what person you are! It was great. I featured this game in my compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/okyxuWBF5Yw

namrog84 2013-08-29 05:50

haha! great idea!

Controls were different :D

truiton 2013-08-29 08:38

So the safest place for this guy is... The toilet? :D
Fun little game :)

p4nurge 2013-08-29 11:47

What a great concept! Simple but very satisfying to play. I can see this idea being expanded into a much larger and more varied game. Graphics and sound were nice too. Very enjoyable.

hyperbox 2013-08-29 16:30

Very clever how you took a flaw that some games have (difficulty in locating the player), and turned it into a game.

mventurelli 2013-08-29 19:06

Different game, but a bit too weird maybe? Don't know. Cool entry, though!

finnegan2100 2013-08-29 23:02

Pretty original game! I like games where you need to figure out which one is moving. Go pretty difficult in the upper levels. Good job!

miguelsantirso 2013-08-30 08:18

Very good and original idea. The game is well implemented and has some appreciated taste for the humour. A little bit difficult for me though.

drkrunk 2013-08-30 22:51

This was surprisingly fun. The level of difficulty was nice as the levels progressed. Good job!

paperblurt 2013-08-31 20:13

So it's kinda like social phobia?

tobiasw 2013-08-31 22:18

Ooh, an HGE game. That was one of the first engines I used. Sweet. I played until level 20. That was a really interesting mechanic - finding out who you control. And boy, I sure hope I'll never explode when I feel uncomfortable...

xndr 2013-09-01 03:21

:)

phocker 2013-09-01 04:09

neat that you need to figure out who you are -- nice job

cafeine 2013-09-01 23:47

Very good! Having to figure out which character to move is a clever idea.

Also, this game is the story of my life :p

mollymus 2013-09-03 20:11

Surprisingly fun! I managed to play until level 19 but at that point it was damn messy! Well done!:D

daanvanyperen 2013-09-04 14:13

Silly game. Haven't seen this mechanic before.

almax27 2013-09-08 07:49

Really quite addictive! Simple but affective goals, the art and music suit it well.

Great stuff. :)

mironix 2013-09-08 10:33

Fresh idea! Nice graphics. Gets a little to hard for me after few levels. But still fun to figure out which player do you controll :) Good Job!

infernet89 2013-09-12 21:48

Level 17! I wonder how many levels are there.. (or are they just random generated?)
Very innovative style of gameplay, the only complain i can make is the background music, looping too fast and not so smoothly.
