I like the original idea and it was fun. I liked the game mechanic a lot, especially how you get a second chance to get them on the way back.
The graphics were simple but did the job. (a billion times better than my own entry). The look would have felt more complete, if instead of changing the mouse cursor to a square, you had changed it to a hand. Good on you for having a go at making music. Music is very time consuming. Unfortunately only one bar of music repeated over and over quickly gets annoying. Of course you know this that's why there is a giant mute button. I think it would have been better to have had some simple sound effects, which could have added to the humor. People could shout at you as you push them.
I couldn't see a restart button? So I had to refresh the page each time to play again.
Black Friday gone mad. It's an interesting idea, but I would have dearly loved to have seen a splash when the shoppers are hurled into the river.
Nice game! For the first while I found it much easier to steal the package that to push the guys of the bridge. Takes a while until you feel like you have to do both. Good job overall.

I like the idea, the interesting controls and the graphics.
It is quite tricky though! Even after playing it for a while I couldn't last for long. I guess it is Black Friday though.

I found the interaction boiled down to matching the speed of the people and drawing a diagonal up or down. I think that felt kind of awkward with mouse input. the way customers could pass through you seemed to deny the illusion of a physical interaction. I think there is a lot you could do to make that feel better. nice scoring system
Very interesting idea, rather simple graphics but did the job.

A dream come true for all people working retail at the end of the year :D
Fun and challenging! I thought the controls were off but no, I'm the one that was.

very funny game, but it's missing a Pause button
Solid concept, decent graphics, and funny!

I really like the idea. Controls are a bit hard to get used to, but neat gameplay!

The colission box for pushing customers out of the bridge can be improved :)
innovative idea. pretty good music. would like screams of people as they fall. the mouse goes through people if you go too fast
haha.. 1st thing i thought of was bloody black friday.. good job :)

Cool idea, simple and easy to play, nice entry!
Unique concept! The physics took a tiny bit of getting used to, then I had a lot of fun gently nudging shoppers off of a bridge.
One thing I would have liked was some sort of goal to be working towards, or a time limit, or something. This might just be me, but games you play until you fail make me nervous.

Not bad. Simple, but gets the job done. Nice job.
That is hard for me, but a fun game!
I like the premise of the game and how you incorporated the theme, but the collisions for pushing prospective customers off the bridge could use some tuning.
