The music is very fitting.

The visuals are a little bit weird, but its fun.
Good job and good luck!

In my mind it was like the film it.

gene-z 2015-04-21 00:55

interesting concept

minibobbo 2015-04-21 01:16

I laughed.

This played super smooth and was a lot of fun.

Unfortunately I cannot run this, Linux and Web only.

Certainly interesting! It's annoying that the people run faster than the pies, I have to pin everyone against a wall to hit them at all. The graphics could of course use some improvement. At some point one of the people lodged themselves in a wall in the maze section, not sure how to recreate it.

No wonder why you didn't chose to be rated on graphics, altough it's nice programmer art. I like the different settings you placed for chasing the people (rooms, labyrinth...), and the SFX you recorded with your voice (I laughed with the "swooooooooosh" when you charge your pie launch).

I really like the sound of the pies hitting things... that was aesthetically very pleasing. I wish I could rate you on audio! Quirky and fun, well done! :)

I played a few times and it was fun. congrats on completing. things i liked:
- the music (it's psycho :))
- the pie fall distance
- the people running away from you and pies
- fairly tactical about corners

suggestion: more walls and corners :)

Nice little game. I would try and put the directional keys as WASD though, as it was very hard to control

loggiant 2015-04-21 04:51

My favorite tactic was definitely trapping people in the corner.

supernovadx 2015-04-21 05:07

The most people I've been able to pie in one round is 68. with 199 pies thrown.

atomicvikings 2015-04-21 05:28

Really short game. Psycho music after time :D :D. IN summary a nice game

mobstersquirrel 2015-04-21 05:45

I like the responsive mechanics, it's really easy get the hang of it :)

muromets 2015-04-21 05:46

Very nice and relaxing really, and the sound effects where great!

broknecho 2015-04-21 05:55

Haha really satisfying herding the people into a corner and pie'ing them all. Really fun start here. Good job!

akokich 2015-04-21 05:57

Fun and oddly intuitive.

nibblebitsstudio 2015-04-21 18:47

It's fun to play, and have a good gameplay.

mohagged 2015-04-22 08:28

how did you do the splash sound :O?!

great entry!

jhell 2015-04-22 14:37

I don't know why but it made me a little uncomfortable ^^. It's all so cheery but you just mass murder people. Anyways, controls are tight, layout is good, but I feel that the enemy behaviour is a bit simple, and it gets a bit annoying to only have the option of cornering them in a corner to pie them. Maybe some way to improve your pie throwing skills could be cool?

lolshouse 2015-04-23 06:22

I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm enjoying it.

Demented.

elpaulo 2015-04-23 15:24

Creepy but fun !
I'd love a terrorized crowd sound when you approach a group of people :-)

deadfragment 2015-04-25 17:40

Very interesting concept, the music really suited the game considering the story to it :P Gameplay was very smooth and fun! definitely lots of potential in this concept.

Hehe, pretty good. In particular, the various options of pie throwing based on duration held. Though I was kind of hoping that the final variant would hit multiple clustered people in one shot. Herd them into a corner and then get them all at once.

The flee AI felt nicely done. They flee early enough to be irritating to catch, but not so early that they're easy to herd. That they even flee from long range pies themselves was a nice touch.

Scattering powerups around the level could add more interest. Temporarily get a different type of pie. Or charge up pies more quickly. Or have a longer scare radius to make herding easier, or a shorter scare radius to sneak up close to people. Or move more quickly, or other people move more slowly. Et cetera.
