Strange but interesting game. You transmit the mood of the game perfectly with sounds and the artstyle, good job on that.

Really liking the Black, Green, White visuals.
"Game" doesn't feel like the right word for this. Very though-provoking and topical.
Interesting game, nice visuals.
I didn't know black people were shot for walking on the sidewalk.
It is kinda hard, but once you get it, it is very easy.
Interesting concept and graphics but didn't get too far in before glitchy sound screeched and made me stop playing.
Having your click meter go slower would help too.
Yup. Point well made. Well crafted given the time.
I think the mood you are trying to transmit is transmitted. As for the difficulty. I don't know if that is the planned to be so hard, if not consider making the sliding go a little slower.
wow, so original and meaningful. really good atmosphere and meaing was well established.
Wow, so much GFX! Very well put-together "message game" genuinely jarring at some points!
The game is nice but i think the slider is too sensitive... but, i suppose that is the message you are trying to send out :)
It has nothing to do with the theme but interesting none the less... not sure if this is the perfect place to try and convey your idea
I like graphics and how it's made. I spent some time trying to understand how to control the slider. But now it doesn't seem to be hard at all.
Couldn't get the sound to work, but even without it the game did a great job conveying the message.
I do find the game meaningful. But it seems the control is very difficult..
The bar is too sensitive and fast. The first playthrough I lost because I had no idea of what was going on. Awesome concept, though. I liked the "Papers, Please" vibe.
Nice game but very hard to play. It's hard to understand how to play the game.
Oh well. I didn't expect that. I chose the black character from the beginning and thought "why the hell does that matter?". Then I played the game and thought you had actually a bug in the code, because it was so amazingly hard to play (I had already forgotten about the character I had chosen) and wanted to complain about that in the comments. Then I read your description of the game, retried and for the first time selected the white character to see if it got easier. Had I seen the "Sorry, this character is not playable" message before, I might have understood it or I might have thought "too bad the game was not finished in time".
But then I (finally) understood. Then I noticed the title of the game.
Myself being a straight, white man "in his best years" in a country with a white majority, it is hard to notice all the privileges one hase (and simply the personal rights that practically always respected by authorities and other people).
As someone who tries to learn to notice the differences in treatment depending on skin color, gender or sexual orientation and reads a lot about the topic, I thought "oh, I am so educated on the topic, I would see the problem immediately". Thanks for putting me straight! I think this is a very important "game". Everyone should play it. It's just a "game" and I can't imagine how frustrating and frightening this problem must be for people who have to face it in real life.
Besides that, it is beautifully made and the writing is (depressingly) good and authentic.
Thanks for making this game! And thanks for trying to run my game and commenting on it, even though it didn't run on your machine.
I love the mini-game aspect and, I HATE to say it, but it was kind of like 1-D flappy bird :) I liked it!
Psychodelic!
Thank you to everyone for playing, and for your comments and ratings! :)
