This a pretty cool game. I like the double views (top down and perspective). I found myself switching between them to locate prey and figure out which way was left and right. Good job.

can you build this without the installer?

ghostmaple 2014-04-29 05:19

Apologies spocker, it defaulted to the awful installer on that last build. Give it a try now. It should be a regular executable.

No Installer , We Prefer ...

I couldn't hear any sound if there was any. Some sounds and music would've been a nice edition.

Cool mechanics. Felt kinda like snake with a twist. The dual-view was cool. I kind of wish the top part were larger and easier to see. Overall, fun game. I have a feeling I'm gonna find myself playing this on my phone.

Wow, this game is very addictive. I had a lot of fun playing it, reminded me of snake. I like the fact that I didn't have to install anything to play so good job switching to executable :D.

Neat mechanic once you get used to it... it's a little hard to focus on both screens though. Pretty cool overall.

Also.. no audio?

Really innovative. Fun to play too!

Nice game! :D The top screen is kinda hard to use and it was a bit difficult for me to get what was going on at the beginning, but after I figured it out, it was a lot of fun! And controlling which way is left and right on the map adds an extra level of difficulty >:]

Sorry, I tried to play this on linux via wine :( Didn't work well.

Cool game, very innovative.

Pretty cool the gameplay idea!

tobiasw 2014-05-05 23:52

The double view is a really interesting idea - the upper being more useful to hunt down, the lower more useful to locate and evade. Good job!

I like the concept, though I found the top view more disorienting than useful, but it was a neat idea to include them both. Could use more variety to the gameplay though, it didn't hold my interest for more than a couple minutes.

Wow, quite fun and original. It took me a minute to understand that the people stayed where they were even after you could no longer sense them. I felt like the quantity of meaningless and identical shrubbery was more confusing than helpful. I wish that you could see people on the lower map when you are really close to them or something. Although I haven't mastered using the upper view yet, so maybe that is why I feel this way. Very challenging, and lots of replayability!
