This is a really fun and solid game, it reminds me a lot of the WarioWare minigames. Graphics are awesome.

This is a really fun and solid game, it reminds me a lot of the WarioWare minigames. Graphics are awesome.
I like the graphics and idea, unfortunately i'm missing player 2!
Fantastic, excellent entry, nothing negative to say about it.
Really good game! Art was good and the games layout felt polished. :)
I don't have any friends :( So I played this game by myself. I worked out 2 things about myself. 1) I suck at trying to use both the controls for player 1 and 2 at the same time. 2. I find playing 2 player games by my self fun.
I think the 2nd point is because of your game however. You have wonderful art and a fantastic concept. Good Work
It's very complex to test alone :P But I liked the concept!
Looks so fun, guess i'll have to find a second player.
Missing player 2! Played against myself though
Really cool stuff. Great use of the theme. As mentioned hard to play by yourself ;)
This is amazing.
Whoa nice solution to double blind rules! The graphics are really well done. Impressive amount of work for 48 hours.
Took a while to truly understand the game but it is really great! Reminds me of a minigame called Fruit on a Wii U game called Game & Wario.
Fun as hell! Also a good idea.
This was pretty fun. The cool thing about it is that despite its simplicity it does a great job of creating tension between the two players. It's one of those I would happily add to my drunken lan party games list ^^
A solid game. Very impressed by the style, would play more that looked similar!
I wish I wasn't so lonely so I din't have to 'play with myself'
I don't understand what to do, really
But looks cool, so 5/5!
Nice job in graphic design! It's pretty fun for playing with friends, and it support joystick. Really awesome game! :D
Cool game. I love the graphics. Too bad I had to test it alone.
Kinda tested this against myself but al I have to say is WOW!
Big fan of local multiplayer and good pixel art in a simple mechanics game!
This is by far the best game I've seen!
Great game, the best I rated today.
Nicely done, Played it with a friend. Had a lot of fun, reminded me of hidden in plain sight.
Nice, I showed myself who was boss...
Loved the graphics, took a little while to figure out how to raise knife and controls are a bit clunky, but besides that really fun game
That's pretty sweet! It reminded me of SpyParty, but 2D version :)
Cool game, mate. I really dig the art style. Nice idea!
Like the pixel art and animation.
COOL
Love the art!
Really, really cool!
It's simple, but the pixel art is amazing! (Love the explosion effect!)
A single player could have been nice, but I played with my GF and had tons of fun with it!
Feels a bit like Spy Party! Very solid game, nice art style and no bugs.
Fun game, I love the stealthy aspect and especially the art style. Very well done! :D
Excellent compo game! Nice art and idea.
Damn, wish I had another player to test this :(
Brilliant idea and implementation. It so fun to play with friend :D Awesome, i like it
Really great pixel art, love all the little characters!
Weird,but fun !.) You can check my game too if you like tower defense x)
Awesome graphics! It feels like a complete and polished game with a nice concept behind it.
Will play again if I find a player 2
Agh would love to play this but no player 2 kicking around :(
This is extremely - and I mean extremely - cool. I love the idea of simply trying to blend into the crowd and not alert another player. Art style and layout were perfectly crafted.
Bravo.
very funny game, but only if you have two players.
Fantastic, polished game with great art!
Classic "I act like a bot" game :) Maybe a timer could stress a bit more the game. And the only C4 in the middle of the screen doesn't help the poor knife man !
I had a lot of fun with my roommate
Great entry! I wish you good luck :)
Super cool idea! Looking for someone to play with me..
Really great overall! I couldn't play this with someone else, but I get the idea.
Awesome graphics!
This should be released as an online game! :)
This one, this is really a fun game, when I found this I immediately called my friend to come over to play this game (and some others :P) because this has really got my attention. Good idea, fits in the theme, made me smile. Gameplay is also solid, which is great! :)
A bit too easy to figure out who P1 is, which is when he picks up the bomb. That narrows it down a LOT. Instructions for P1 are wrong for raising and lowering knife.
It's pretty damn good, but I would like for there to be an AI mode that you wouldn't need to find another person. All in all it's great.
Very interesting game!
Wish I had one of my friend around now to play this! Looks so nice!
Looks great, but required second player, so I couldn't play.
Awesome art style, please add some music! Ive played something similar on Ouya (it a game console, yeah, i bought it)
A lot of fun!
Brilliant idea!
Looks like a lot of fun... spy party style. I'll wait for player two to join then come back by.
Nice and fun game. Love the graphic
Really cool idea! I couldn't actually play it with another person but it seemed like it would be lots of fun!
i love this game
Wow! This is very good! :O Make a full game off it.
Awesome! Do you have a level of maturity in the development of very good games. Congratulations.!
Just like "Hidden in Plain Sight". Awesome innovation, this was really fun! You deserve to be on the most coolness page!
Wow this looks really fun to play with someone. If only I had a friend!
Still fantastic presentation, and Idea!
Thought the graphics were great, I love the knife and gun, very well done.
Gameplay was solid, but I felt like the knife guy picking up the c4 was a dead giveaway.
Really enjoyed this game. Nice art style and really cool take on the theme.
Great! Like it a lot.But little confusing at the beginning
Beautiful, but hard to play the first 5 minutes, still love the graphics style, plays very nicely
Graphics are really good and I like the play style of stealth, Nice job
This is an amazing and creative game. Played with my room mate for a while, downloaded, I'll have some more fun with this even in the future! :) Great job!
Controls are a bit hard to pick up at first, but overall, an awesome concept, and executed masterfully!
Great idea! Love the graphics!
Wow, Really fun game! I love this idea of having a real life clue-game, but on the computer, so that no one can cheat. Well done!
Seems interesting - but I don't have a second player to really test it with. Nice graphics though!
AWESOME!!! A little hard to get, but awesome idea!!
Fabulous game! Such polish for a game created in 48 hours. I made my husband play 2P and he easily won because you just wait for 1P to pick up the bomb in the middle and shoot them. I think if you just try to kill each other and forget about the other objectives, it becomes really hilarious and a little more balanced too. LOVE the pixel art of the gun and knife on the home screen.
Very nice game, hard to get the concept but damn fun. A music theme would be nice.
Really nice graphics, great concept! I Included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/QrqYJieiXWs
Excellently done! very polished execution of a brilliant mechanic.art and music created a very atmospheric mood.
I liked the GUI and info screen. Cool entry.
I love stumbling onto a multiplayer game, and this one was definitely amazing. I like that you kinda have to trick the other player into thinking that an npc is you and vice versa
Really cool game!
Give mine a try, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154
too bad its only for two players. Not easy to test it alone.
Solid game, really neat. I like ++
So much awesomeness in here!
Great idea and execution – would love to see an extended version! :)
Loved the style of this game! It felt really polished.
Short but sweet game, great graphics and good retro sound effects.
Love the graphics and the characters are great!
This was a lot of fun! I wish this game could work with one player somehow :(
The hardest part is to figure out where I am in this crowd, but overall it's a good game
This is amazing.
Amazing psychological game! Played nonstop for 40 min. perfect balance of mechanics. no complaints at all.
awesome graphics.. But no idea what to do..
Fantastic.
Very nice - this could be a winner!
High quality on everything. I think this game is perfectly crafted for a jam like this
This is a lot like this ninja game on xbox360 (mechanics and gameplay wise), which is a fine game, but i prefer more innovative games for a jam. Art looks good and pretty funny theme all arround.
I just play alone, but I feel the idea of bluffing, I will find another player soon to see that better :)
I love the graphics and idea!
Haha quite hard with AZERTY keypad !Anyway, very interesting game, cool graphics and audio ! Thanks for this !
really nice concept, liked the art style too! it's a shame that i can only play it by myself. great job though! :)
Very nice game and good concept.
Well done!
I really enjoy finding out who i am without the other player knowing
That's a really nice idea for a little 2 player game and it looks cool too :)
Nice one! At first i thought it was one of those get him before he gets me games (i guess it kind of is)!
Very nice game! I really loved the idea. A nice addition would be online multiplayer since it's hard not to notice when the other player is moving or not, thus you quickly discover him. Really good game! Thumbs up!
Love the style. Wish I had a 2nd player, but I liked what I saw regardless.
Will come back to it later when I have a friend to try it with.
Nice one.
Very polished game. Reminds me a lot of the party game Mafia but with more interaction. I would just like some more sound effects :)
Such a great concept and pretty well executed. Very minimalist in all senses but solid idea and a fun game.
Not bad, I liked the concept.
Cool entry, like the idea, just a shame it needs two players because I have no friends!
I need a player 2 to play :) but anyway awesome game :D
Good Job !!!
great art and mood :)
Awesome idea and the Style is perfect, but MP only ;-(
neat concept!
Could not quite test it 100% due to only being 1 person, but I played a round a bit and really like the idea. Well done!
Looks quite good, but I don't have anyone to play this with atm :(
This game is the best! The best I tell you!
So much idea. Very many graphics. Game!
Really neat idea. Love the 2 player approach, as well as the subtleties involved with faking out your opponent and carefully fading into the crowd. Simple but effective graphics. Nice work!
Aw man. This is so cool! I also lack a player 2, but gave it a go to get a feel for the game.
I really love the knife and the gun graphics on the side, it's a really nice touch. Great design.
awesome
No one to play it with which is a bit of a problem but I can see the potential :) Good job
Fun game, just wish there was a singleplayer mode.
Not a bad multiplayer mechanic. Would love to see a bigger level or multiple stages.
Awesome game :) love it
I've only seen this concept once before, but not on a keyboard. Two-player one-keyboard games rule! You rock.
Took some getting used to, but once the controls felt comfortable it played nicely. I noticed that the keys changed between the embedded version and the Newgrounds version though.
Everything in screen, fun graphics, good concept, nice little humourous concept.. well done.. now to get an opponent!
The controls could be abit simpler, but otherwise nice job! Too bad I don't have a 2nd player. :(
Awesome idea. Love it.
Nice game, very similar to "Hidden in play Sight".
Good job.
This is sooo cool! Very cool concept, it reminds me of Chris Heckers's spy party :)
It's a cool concept, and the art is really nice. The sound effects volumes could be tweaked to be better, though. I was shocked a few times by the loud audio.
Thank you all for your feedbacks.
About ferguson : our goal wasn't to talk about Ferguson and the event that occured there but only to talk about the interpretation of the events by the media in general. Ferguson is only a context, not the main topic.
@RogueRogue : it is Arabic, الجزيرة.نت means Al Jazeera ;) (cf. http://aljazeera.net/portal)
Ooops... wrong tab... sorry :/
Decent little game, reminds me of spy party a little bit. I really like the art and sound, but I find the controls to be a bit awkward. Overall, well done.
very good graphic but i miss player2.
I dont understand what to do
I found player 2 with jkli but I havent understand the game
Excellent job. Great graphics, solid gameplay, and really neat idea
Great work! :D
A bit tough to play for non QWERTY keyboards, but a really nice little multiplayer game with neat pixel art !
Good fun. Lovely graphics. Fun trying to hide who you are from the other player.
Nice animations, nice idea, nice and fun. Could have done with a soundtrack to make it perfect...
Really good concept! A bit hard to play on OS X due to only 1 crtl key hehe. Congratulations on making it!
omg its so fun! once i learned to move like the crowd does, my friend got up and beat me up for winning most of the times :D Great game!
Coll two player game which reminds me very much of games like the ship or spy party. The artstyle and the sound fx are cool, a cool background track would give it a more rounder feel. All in all it looks very solid.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GAMES IN THE ENTIRE JAM!
So freaking fun to play this with a friend. And even funnier when one of them starts to shield himself with civilians just to stop me from shooting xDD
I would totally buy a more complete version of this :)
GREAT JOB GUYS!
☃
Wow, really cool concept! I don't have anyone nearby to play with, so I haven't been able to fully experience it yet, but it seems really cool! Nice work!
good idea! ) need some ai (
Innovative. I like it when people make new kind of multiplayers.
I really like this game it gets really tense. very fun and innovative. good job keep up the good work.
It is like a 2D version of Spy party.
Very nice work, very polished.
Waited for one day with this tab open just to play this with a friend, and it worth the wait. It was great, original and very polished. Great job, one of my favourite entries so far.
This is so good! Some sound to cover the keyboard noises is all it needs.
nice entry - fit theme well - excellent job!
Quite clever game design! Also really great pixelart and polish, everything really fits together well!
I like this game a lot
The idea of this is executed really well. Well done!
Great graphics!
The controls took a little getting used to, but this is a lot of fun.
Very impressive for the time frame
This is so cool. The mystery of who's who, the fantastic art style, and the different goals make for a really nice package that I'd love to see expanded in the future.
Loved it! Who needs Spy Party anyway?
Great concept. I would play more games like that. Idea and execution are cool and the theme fits completely right. The animation is great too. Fresh concept for a game!
Similar to Hidden In Plain Sight... which is a good thing.
A very funny idea
Nice idea, would definitely benefit from AI opponent option though
Fantastic! I really wish it had online multiplayer though... I'm the kind of player that "accidentally" watches what buttons other player uses and use that to identify them... :D
Great mini little game. Graphics are some of the best I've seen so far and the theme was used really well. Loved the way the players had their own goals and looks are random, adds an element of surprise especially when playing on separate gamepads. Explosion was a bit loud on my headphones but a fun entry that I'll come back and play more.
Hah bluffing games are awesome, there was no one around to get the full experience but this must be best with controllers and possibly more AI to mix things up. Aside from that this is a real solid entry!
having only one person here to test it was limiting for me, but novel idea. good work
Nice game!
Awesome Graphics
This is great. I played by myself, but I can see how awesome this could be with two players. The controls are simple, the goal is simple, the mechanics are well implemented, and there is a real challenge. Nicely done.
Short, simple, fun. I liked the instructions screen the best :P. Very nice!
Fun and simple game mechanics. This kind of game is really fun for relaxed gameplay with friends, nice!
Remember me hidden in plain sight.
Really fun in the idea and totally in the theme.
The most impressive is the graphics quality for 48h, even if sprite
are simple it's really well done.
It only lack of music and sound. But that's really great.
incredible art.
FUN..
Psssst! You're on today's LUDUM DARE TO BELIEVE! Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_X55pxfvc
Awesome entry! nice job!
Really digging this game man! Well done
Awesome game! I wish I had a second person to play with.
amazing game, its really really fun..
Very simple but very fun. Executed elegantly.
I need a player 2, i'll rate your game when i could play with a teamate ;)
Nice GFX !
Nothing to say, an amazing game! Well done!!
Nice! Saved to my LD party mix.
Really cool game, and I love the way the computer play randomly, like a normal player, and all are random! :D Really cool entry! All stars :D
Great entry, reminds me of some Xbox party game, can't remember which, had fun anyway
WoW. This is exactly the quality games we need. Solid 5/5.
Really solid spy-hunter game. Consider making a post-jam version with more game modes and multiplayer up to 4 players, seriously :D
Great game!
Very interesting game. I couldn't adequately test it out solo, but it has a lot going for it. Graphics, sound, design, are all good. It's like a minified counterstrike, in a way.
Innovation is the only category where I cannot put much stars : this is basically spy party...
Aweseome job with the rest though
Really nicely done, love the pixel art.
Enjoyed playing this with the wife. Just recently got a 2nd 360 controller, so that was pretty cool.
Neat game. I quite like the art style & the sounds are arcade-ish & well done. Great job.
Two people on one keyboard wasn't ideal but it's a great concept. Could be a lot of fun with more players and gamepads.
Amazing Spy Party-esque entry, really fun to play (especially if you don't need to play with the keyboard like we did haha)
Wow! This is actually quite good! I haven't seen much games yet with this quality! And it's even compo! Graphics are good, sounds and idea is good too. You rock!
Nice graphics!
How Nice!
I liked this game!
Sadly I can't play with other one, but all the idea is good!
This idea of multi-players fighting in one screen was very common in this LD, but you made this with a New concept!!!
Really Really good!
As a hidden in plain sight fan, I loved this game. Excelent graphics/aesthetics.
This is really awesome! Graphics are great, mechanics are solid, sort of a mesh between the Game & Wario minigame and Spyparty. Great job!
really nice game
Really fun game. Some problems with getting stuck on the statues and the controls are totally jacked for Mac. That being said if you fixed that up it would be a really solid package overall. Had fun playing with my friend. Love the touch with Mario's gun as well.
Hi there. Great ambition, well executed. Like the pixel art and sounds. Clever multi-stage winning conditions. Good job!
Now that's a fun game! I love that idea! And all that beautiful pixel graphic! Really cool entry!
wait to play with a friend. Finally gameplay isn't the same as hidden in plain sight (it was my first feeling). It is fun and nervous.
Sometimes we get stuck in a statue at the beginning, it's annoying.
Cool game, I've played with a friend and we had a lot of fun. Too bad it's too obvious when you pick up the bomb (it's in the middle). Otherwise I loved it !
hahahaha great co-op!! tons of fun, great work!
Finally got some people to play the game with. Very fun game! I do feel like the Cowboy has a bit of an advantage, but that was just our experience. Very solid experience for a compo entry. Great work :)
good graphics , had a lot of fun..
Finally found a player 2 to play with and enjoyed it. We never completed any of the objectives though. Just ended up either shooting each other or civilians. Pretty fun game.
Trying to test out multiplayer games by yourself is always annoying but I do like the idea a lot and I really like the art style and audio.
It completely ruined the game experience once we realized only knife player could pick the bomb, so the other player simply has to wait to see who picks it up and shoot him.
Other than that, it is a very good entry (even more so it being a compo entry).
Very good idea, designing over the bomb problem it could be a great game. The graphics are fantastic and the sounds are scarse but better that than too much noise.
Good job!
Nice!!
Wow, what a nice entry we have here. Cowboys vs cops, cool!
Overall a solid fun game that was cool to try with a friend.
Keyboard layout not that great on a macbook. Also, I didn't understand why the hide key and gun key were different keys. Also the shooting key was a bit strange position. One hand should be for dealing with the gun and another for movement.
Good game.
