I get what you were going for, but I don't really feel like you accomplished it. I can't say a whole lot about the political message of this game, as I'm not well informed on Swedish politics, but I found the gameplay to be a bit frustrating. Dodging and weaving through crowds felt fairly impossible, and it rarely seemed like any kind of navigable route through the madness existed.

That's the prime concerning of every father right there! Fortunately could save 5 of my tween blue dressed girls before being stomped to death. I hope they find their mother, cause they are only gonna see their dad on the news tomorrow.

Visually, there's a lot going on. Was kind of difficult for me to see where the daughter was in the crowds.

Audio was great. I feel like it matched the mood that your text description led me to expect.

I sort of instinctively though the goal was to get as far to the right as possible. I succeeded, but then went off screen. Then I realized I was playing the game wrong.

Well that was interesting. I didn't find the game that fun but the theme and the mood set by the music was well done. A nice spin on the theme so, well done.

Simple game with a message eh ... A lot going on in this game which is hard, unless that's the point ?

The mood is excellent, the audio sets a dismal tone and I think that's fantastic.

I think that this game has a good message about the tolerance. A good thing would be to give the player the opcion to choose what flag he is taking (pro or against). The game would be the same but the message and the idea would be stronger without politic criticism.

The concept is good, it's almost like a twist on Frogger. The character was too unresponsive though and felt like I had too many cheap deaths.

Politics aside, why am I the monster? The mob seems more monstrous, killing me in front of my kids! Haha

Sweet entry. The graphics style reminded me somehow of where is waldo :) the music set an excellent mood. Only the controls felt a bit sticky but overall a big thumbs up. :)

It definitely makes you thinking. Reminds how realty indeed is tougher than any video game ever made.
