Just 5/5 on everything, as always. You deserve it. It's just amazing.

drludos 2014-12-08 03:19

Woaw, this game is just so outstanding (as usual with you)!
I really like this "one-screen" version of the first GTA (you even included the "gouranga" mission, nice!). I can't believed you managed to create such a depth, fun, beautiful and feature complete game is 48h only...

This game has everything it needs to rank in the top 3, without any doubt ;)!

Bravo!

feiss 2014-12-08 03:26

Brilliant as usual. I'm amazed of how it excels in every aspect. Gameplay, graphics, sound.. congratulations! :)

ehtd 2014-12-08 04:28

cool game, looks like a lot of work

mrtedders 2014-12-08 04:34

Very well done. Love the art, it's always been a unique style you have. Very well polished. Good job!

adrianulima 2014-12-08 04:38

very good as always.. you are the best!

2014-12-08 05:09

This is so good, very difficult though, no way to loose the police and they can shoot through buildings.

sublustris 2014-12-08 05:36

5/5 :) Great game

groydis 2014-12-08 05:49

Wow, incredible, the way the money spawns on the roads after you get take all the money spots was a lovely touch.
Good Work!

paperscraps 2014-12-08 06:16

This is really impressive. As per usual. Graphics are top notch.

rezoner 2014-12-08 08:34

Since everyone will be praising the assets I must point out how important (and good) decision it was to pick that particular control scheme.

silii 2014-12-08 08:44

Est-ce que se serait "être en retard" que de faire une blague sur le fait que Rockstar n'aurait pas fais mieux ?

En attendant, comme toujours, on voit le talent :3
(La ou toi tu te dis : Mince, j'aurais pu faire ça comme ça, mince, j'ai loupé cela, mais j'aurais pu faire ceci à la place... :D)

caporaltito 2014-12-08 08:54

Excellent game. The graphics are gorgeous, I really like the retro mood. Everything just works fine, not much bugs in sight. Maybe some not so original game mechanics, as it reminds me a bit of Pacman but still a solid game design. The rest is plain excellent. Outstanding work.

elkiwydev 2014-12-08 08:56

4/5 pacman + old GTA = law breaker

po8rewq 2014-12-08 09:06

As usual, great game and fun to play

ncannasse 2014-12-08 09:09

Too bad it lacks content

ghostinthesoft 2014-12-08 10:12

so good, as always ! How can you do so much in a so little time :)

terraneola 2014-12-08 10:19

I see the great experience here. Nice.

blackbulletiv 2014-12-08 10:53

Very well polished and beautiful looking game as expected. The game's only glaring issue (unless my flash player is messing up) is its lack of sound effects.

d3zmodos 2014-12-08 11:02

Fun to play and really pretty, only issue I had was that I'm more used to games involving cars having left/right turn you instead of just move you in that direction, but thats just me :D

anael 2014-12-08 11:12

really impressed ! it's crazy good !

01101101 2014-12-08 11:29

Great entry! As usual, huge amounts of polish and details which make the experience really cool. Not a fan of the way you control the car but other than that it's a nice and fun game :)

jrap 2014-12-08 11:31

This game is incredible, impressive, groundbreaking and previously-unheard-of.
A joy to play.
Art-gallery-standard visuals.
Bangin soundtrack.

namide 2014-12-08 11:37

Very good sound, graphic design and AI for a fun gameplay.
I'm particularly impressed by the visuals effects!

tipyx 2014-12-08 12:34

Yeaaaah, the tank is invincible, gyahahahah !
Well, not totally...

Anyway, good job (again, grrrr !) !

franklins-ghost 2014-12-08 13:29

Another great entry surprise, surprise. Fun little addictive game that takes me back to playing the old GTA game.

2014-12-08 13:39

cool

hatsome 2014-12-08 14:48

Wonderful game.

domrein 2014-12-08 15:35

Soooo good. Didn't expect anything less though. You've got an amazing LD pedigree.

cutandreil 2014-12-08 15:36

Just great...

tijmentio 2014-12-08 15:56

Haha I love that you cab hijack the chopper (spoiler) overal great as always but i did miss a lot of sound effects :(

harsayhd 2014-12-08 16:03

Smashing police cars with Tank was so nostalgic... :D

sputnik 2014-12-08 16:22

Super cool, as always! Make me feel like the first GTA... ahhh good old time! Return just for the tank.

figglewatts 2014-12-08 16:38

This was amazing! Lost track of time.

pietdagamer 2014-12-08 17:13

I love the way this game looks! I had lots of fun with it :D

eduardo 2014-12-08 17:13

Great! I like the controls and graphics!

xaychru04 2014-12-08 17:33

Really nice entry, interesting car AI, I had great fun driving into pedestrians and cop cars! Too bad it's a bit short...

tommyno222 2014-12-08 18:15

Great use of theme and graphics style as allways. I'd welcome if there were a possibility to rob some objects without witnesses. That could made the gameplay more interesting.

techblogogy 2014-12-08 18:32

This is absolutely stunning game, amazing art style. Keep up the good work

snapman_gt 2014-12-08 18:35

Kind of a cross between pacman and the original GTA? Pretty cool.

syawqy 2014-12-08 19:22

I really like the pixel art and glowing effect on it

snemanden 2014-12-08 19:27

What can I add beyond the obvious? Amazing game.

sheepolution 2014-12-08 19:49

You did it again Deepnight. Well done.

I feel like it would've been more fun with buildings blocking bullets, but I've figured you tested and decided for the best.

Keep up the good work!

rnlf 2014-12-08 20:10

Perfect entry, as usual. You know what they say: "Linking deepnight is SO mainstream".

gfm 2014-12-08 20:10

Great game!
I admire how you always make really polished games. =D

The game is a bit repetitive but, since it's so short, it didn't get tiring. :)

I really liked the graphics. Everything was represented really well, even though the scale was so small. :)
I also liked the song and sfx.

markusfisch 2014-12-08 20:44

As always, really really well made. Just had to play all the missions and had a lot of fun doing so!

Please never stop making games.

jelly 2014-12-08 21:06

It's very well done! Being in the tank was really fun :)

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-08 21:17

Is it me or did I kill some members from a religious sect?

khahem 2014-12-08 21:39

Wow, really awesome !
Very fun to play and well polished, great job !

codecranker 2014-12-08 21:57

awesome... awesome.. awesome. solid entry! keep it up!

pvtroswold 2014-12-08 22:11

Fun game! Not my cup of tea but overlooking that very well done! Loved the retro graphics

todnut 2014-12-08 22:53

Amazing production!

ferraware 2014-12-08 23:23

Can't believe this is done in 48hs, excellent job! The best one I've seen so far

ryguydavis 2014-12-08 23:38

Man, I really love your style. It's really about that simple. Great work.

sushidestroy 2014-12-09 00:28

Amazing work.
A sharp and delecious toast of pixel gaming !

andrewkennedy 2014-12-09 00:36

Mmm. Beveled pixels, glowing sparks? Must be deepnight :)

Another great entry as always. Controls felt good, and the escalation of the police force was a really nice touch.

I was slightly disappointed I was unable to steal a police car though.

devark 2014-12-09 01:18

I love the graphics and music. It's so polished and beautiful. It would have been nice to have something differentiating your car from others though, especially when I brush past a same coloured car. The police cars shooting through walls was a bit unfair imo but I guess the game would have been too easy without that. Great work!

kunonooni 2014-12-09 01:22

You totally captured the GTA 1 style. Brings back some great memories. Simply amazing!

nicepenguins 2014-12-09 01:56

Very cool and fun ! The controls of the car are very precise.

vidsneeze 2014-12-09 02:55

As good as always! he he really neat game!

hazard 2014-12-09 04:16

As always, so good it makes me feel inadequate for participating. :P In all seriousness, very impressive.

gokuhd 2014-12-09 04:29

Really awesome how much detail you put into everything, very well done!

cheshyr 2014-12-09 05:07

that was a lot of fun.

valandre 2014-12-09 08:51

very pollished as usual!

razieliyo 2014-12-09 10:06

perfect, as usual by deepnight

warboys 2014-12-09 10:15

Looks absolutely gorgeous, would have been cool to be able to jack cop cars though ;)

One criticism (hope it's constructive) is the lack of walls to protect against projectiles. The cop dudes shoot through everything so you can't use the environment much against them. Outrunning them didn't feel particularly skillful, but more of a time constraint ("if I drive long enough, they'll be too far behind").

tiago-ling 2014-12-09 11:00

Awesome game, as always! I didn't like the controls though: this is a game that could benefit from having 'up' and 'down' keys as the accelerator / brakes and 'left','right' as the steering. It would be much easier to avoid walls i think.
Overall one of the best i played so far in this LD, good job!

bygmalion 2014-12-09 11:59

The amount of work you can squeeze in a game in 48h is flabbergasting. The controls need some adaptation but after a couple of minutes I can cruise the city with ease. Kudos to you.

sollinxp 2014-12-09 12:27

awesome game as always!!

fullmontis 2014-12-09 14:05

It's very interesting what this theme brought into the compo. THis is a very interesting take on the theme, Maybe gets a little too repetitive. As usual for your games, the level of polish and control is stunning!

tiagojdferreira 2014-12-09 14:07

Awesome.

germain 2014-12-09 14:27

Just missing one thing : http://goo.gl/klKf8v

duon44 2014-12-09 15:44

Amazing game, felt a bit short though but it's still amazing how much you managed to get done in such a short time

dcolgan 2014-12-09 15:44

Amazing as always! You seem to be pretty good at Ludum Dares good sir.

hexagore 2014-12-09 16:08

"GTA: Pacman" Cool concept and the pixel art is top notch.

naufr4g0 2014-12-09 17:02

Perfect, 5/5! Nothing to say. The game is great! :)

teameagle 2014-12-09 18:10

that was awesome!

lmt 2014-12-09 18:29

Insanely awesome game. Can definitely see this getting one of the top spots.

elektricmaster7 2014-12-09 19:05

Awesome game! :D

kepamun 2014-12-09 19:06

One of the best I've played so far. Well Done!

lukepilgrim 2014-12-09 19:49

this is perfect. looks perfect, feels perfect. a lot of fun, thank you!

zkenshin 2014-12-09 21:59

Fantastic entry, great job!

orangeez 2014-12-09 22:07

Oh my dayum, this is a very nice entry! Although it somehow reminds me of Pacman with a crime twist... :D

jupitron 2014-12-09 22:09

Just mind blowing.

efux 2014-12-09 22:09

Cool and fun little game! Love it!

evanegibbs 2014-12-09 22:13

GTA Meets pacman! That was really good! Intensely ambitious for a compo game. :O

My only criticism is I wish I knew how many missions there were from the beginning. Other than that very well done!

salmonmoose 2014-12-09 22:20

Love the random pac-man mode

oldpeculier 2014-12-09 22:54

Simply incredible. Incredible.

snicklodocus 2014-12-09 23:01

Really nice! I loved the art! Controls were tight and mission scaling was well done. I loved just watching the AI cars drive around! Greta job.

finlal 2014-12-10 00:25

Nice game! Realy fun indie-GTA :D
When i take tank it was rock!
5\5!

whilefun 2014-12-10 03:55

I found the controls were a bit hard, as i was trying to steer the car relative to its front, rather than "move" it absolutely. Great game though, love the pixel-ey goodness. Solid entry as always :)

elvaq 2014-12-10 05:23

Yeah. This is great. Gameplay only has a little depth but the audio and graphics are incredible.

lekochen 2014-12-10 05:38

Every time I run your game I feel wow. The pixel style is just so good.

hundredhundred 2014-12-10 09:17

The game reminded me of Pacman + GTA. Overall awesome job on LD31! I'm never disappointed with your creations! Loving the pixel art and special effects!

hundredhundred 2014-12-10 09:19

Love the easter egg "R*"

fergusontv_ld31 2014-12-10 10:00

Great graphics, cool gameplay mechanic, addictive and fun... very nice job !

aare 2014-12-10 11:37

Super cool game :D

natura-time 2014-12-10 11:40

It's amazing ! You're doing so great in only 48h ! The music is awesome too !

hbocao 2014-12-10 11:57

Your graphics are amazing! Superb game! Its amazing that you did it in 48 hours.. congrats!

murrayl 2014-12-10 12:40

Really reminded me of classic GTA and Retro City Rampage. Incredible amount of work for 48 hours.

tomvert 2014-12-10 12:41

Nice little game, good controls.

crocantidepollo 2014-12-10 12:44

I love the little details. Fantastic work!

opengl 2014-12-10 13:43

Best LD31 game :)

aaronjbaptiste 2014-12-10 13:48

Outstanding. Top class.

pandamicro 2014-12-10 15:42

Bravo ! Jeu impressionant ! C'est incroyable de créer ce jeu dans 48 heures !

sushin 2014-12-10 17:38

Really great game! I love the graphics qnd the effects. It's a gorgeous peace of work I just love it!

digibody 2014-12-10 18:22

Loved it :)

rubna 2014-12-10 19:44

really liked how it felt like one world, great implementation of the theme! very tiny and cute c: good job!

Jeremias 2014-12-10 20:20

Grand Theft Pacman ;D

adventureislands 2014-12-10 21:27

Nice game, simple and fun to play. graphics and sounds are awesome and the game is excellent tribute for gta. COURANGA!

bio-bob 2014-12-10 22:56

This is really cool! Love the visuals, and the music! And I had fun being a little bit stealthy, it's also fun just rushing and being chased by everything, so you managed to cover two different play-styles really well.

karlipoppins 2014-12-11 04:17

I was a huge fan of chipset-0 and I was excited to see you got into LD31. That entry is absolutely stunning. Wonderful effects, great AI, great sound, lovely gameplay.. Can't describe how impressed I am with this. Perfect controls to bring a bit of Pacman in. Just outstanding...

themeorch 2014-12-11 04:44

Fantastic art, controls, the whole package. GTA with some Pac-Man sprinkled in. Great game! (But how do the cops shoot over buildings??)

maurogik 2014-12-11 07:46

Awesome, gameplay is great, pixel art beautiful !

tppr2046 2014-12-11 07:55

amazing! Good gameplay, great graphic and audio!!

radstar 2014-12-11 08:50

Excellent game ! I can't find anything constructive to say 'cause I can't see anything wrong with this game. Great job !

carduus 2014-12-11 08:58

Awesome!
I really need pedestrians everywere to make some killing frenzy!

delahee 2014-12-11 09:08

Great entry, as usual.
The tank is awesome, but the helicopter isn't as good as it seems to be.

plauk 2014-12-11 10:16

Very very cool. One of the best entries I've seen.

drgeraud 2014-12-11 13:44

Oh god, give me some of your skill please !

alpha_rat 2014-12-11 13:57

Well, nothing to say, amazing entry!

gungnir 2014-12-11 15:56

I feel as if I'm back in front of my Amiga 500, playing something from sensible software... but somehow even more awesome. Thanks.

kraln 2014-12-11 16:57

BRAVO!

kirito 2014-12-11 17:00

Fucking interesting

indie4fun 2014-12-11 18:21

GTA meets Pacman. Amazing! Very addictive game!

madmaw 2014-12-11 20:24

Brilliant as always

joekinley 2014-12-11 21:48

Brilliant game. Brilliant as always. I swear to god if you win this again.... well you deserve it. Your games are brilliant.
Also... 50 Minute timelapse with no sound/music at all? Come on. I WANT to watch it but no music at all? Add commentary =)

pjimmy 2014-12-11 22:54

beautiful game, very funny, great visuals, but I didn't like the car controls. well done :)

wuhao 2014-12-12 05:05

You should let other people win ludum dare once in a while

egos 2014-12-12 11:59

so polished . the mix is effectively a good idea and well realized

gre 2014-12-12 18:32

Incredible as usual

brethudson 2014-12-12 18:52

Surprised I've never heard of you, you seem to have quite a following on Twitter! I'm astonished with how full the game feels after just 48 hours, and plan on checking out your other games. Fantastic work here!

tritegames 2014-12-12 22:47

Oh my, a perfect mini GTA hommage! It can't get better than this :D Here take all my stars ;) ★★★★★

tritegames 2014-12-12 22:48

Oh my, a perfect mini GTA hommage! It can't get better than this :D Here take all my stars ;) ★★★★★ I put it on Twitter, more people need to play it...I mean, you even have GOURANGAS!!!

axebane 2014-12-13 03:09

Wow, just wow! GTA1 was one of my favorite games as a kid, and this is a fantastic homage to that game. Ran perfectly smooth, didn't encounter a single bug, and everything was very intuitive with easy to understand icons. Amazing job!

phocker 2014-12-13 04:03

amazing - simply outstanding!

raptor85 2014-12-13 05:22

i can't seem to find the 6/5 buttons.....

this is a wonderful gta demake, i love how it even has the tank and the little line of people

wilbefast 2014-12-13 16:43

I didn't know about the GOURANGA thing ^^

I found the tank and things became considerably more straightforward :P

Hard to think of constructive criticism with something this good. I guess being on foot is globally not much use since everything you can do on foot you can do in your car, only faster. But there I'm just trying to find things to complain about ;)

foolmoron 2014-12-13 22:23

Wowww the polish is excellent. Super satisfying to collect money and try to grab a new car after yours blows up. Physics and AI and everything is also perfect.

kitch 2014-12-13 23:27

Great entry as always. Well polished and fun experience. Thanks!

thalia 2014-12-14 09:06

Good dynamic game! Like idea with all these robberies.) Everybody know's what it's like to be the bad man now :)

soulgame 2014-12-14 10:01

Very cool entry! Congrats for actually creating a GTA like in 48h :) Loved how you managed to simplify things to the max while keeping the fun.

erhune 2014-12-14 13:16

Incredible polish for a compo game! And very beautiful and fun, to boast!

thopis 2014-12-14 15:35

sold me from screenshots,wowed me from playing!5/5

gmaker 2014-12-14 17:23

awesome graphics =) the game very hard for me. Good job!

albertosm 2014-12-14 17:31

Very cool game! Felt like a NES GTA with Backstreet Boys music in the background haha!

puppetmaster 2014-12-14 19:04

Very cool game! Loved the light effects.

Well made!

metalchouchen 2014-12-15 12:49

This game is awesome. Very complete, nice art. + mix pacman & gta... I love it :) Congrats !

jjevil 2014-12-15 15:04

Quite well done. I can tell you're no rookie.

scam 2014-12-16 19:57

Grand Theft Pacman. Nice.

rainshapes 2014-12-17 19:41

Nice job as usual. Lighting and graphics on point. Filter was really nice looking. One of the banks didn't fit for some reason.

dexyne 2014-12-18 01:06

Really a great game, well done!

mach60kas 2014-12-18 21:47

Very funny and well-polished GTA-like, loved the graphics, music and gameplay! I think the only thing I didn't like is that the cop cars looked as if they could shoot through buildings at me, which was a bit weird really. Fantastic work overall, keep it up!

snickersnacks 2014-12-20 02:56

I love the idea, I love the visual design, and I would love to see this playable on my phone. Superb entry :) great job!

greytram 2014-12-20 14:00

Brilliant entry, as usual! I like the attention you put in every detail. Loved the possibility to drive a chopper or a tank!
The tiny streets, little cars and music brings fond memory of an old 16-bit game: APB (by Domark).
Very well done!

kchplr 2014-12-20 15:22

Very fun but maybe a little too easy, I would have like something more challenging

javadocmd 2014-12-20 23:08

Gorgeous as usual! This was a really fun throwback and the Pacman combination added a bit of extra spice. I love the control decision that you made. Having the movement tend towards the direction you were pressing (as opposed to a "left key means turn left" scheme) felt really good and was probably essential to making this work on a micro scale. Grinding along walls added challenge without too much frustration and some really nice feedback. A very intuitive mechanic. I felt like the cops were a little too quick for me to work out much depth of strategy -- you mostly just needed to drive faster since there weren't a lot of clever tricks to pull. Still, great fun!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-22 19:55

Fun game! I Included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/3EfYtGD2H88

cxsquared 2014-12-24 05:46

Really freaking awesome and even more praise for using Haxe. Such a great game.

egor-idiot 2014-12-26 14:36

5/5 as always. Good job!

sk16games 2014-12-28 18:06

Really good entry!! One of the best ones in fact.

commanderstitch 2014-12-29 23:08

great game. :D

rockhoppergames 2014-12-30 07:57

Excellent little game! Congratulations on your 3rd place! And thanks for having the option to change the game's size, you don't know how happy that made me!
