Wow, awesome game. Love it. It's pretty nice that you can trap someone between the houses.

Wow, awesome game. Love it. It's pretty nice that you can trap someone between the houses.
Great, moody piece, music and the visuals work well together, the sound effects work well.
But the game... There's no indication of where to go, so you're left wandering aimlessly in quite a huge space, and your speed is terrible so you can only really hope to have a machete (which are super rare) or that they just happen to have their backs to you when you see them. If not, well then keep walking.
There's potential in the subject matter, but the execution right now is lacking as a piece of interaction.
Great music, adds suspense and gets you right into it! At some point I was worried for myself because I just wanted to catch the next vilager off guard.. their death felt kind of.. satisfying. Good job for making me feel that contradicted!
What you could do better is to take a look at the huge map, it is hard to locate people and to get back at them when you already scared them away.
If you had a chance to pick up your already thrown machete that would be great and a good way to make up for the great distance between you and your target.
That bit about the meting in hell made me chuckle :D Blasted meetings..
Loved it!
Very cool game, slaughtering my fellow campers is a blast- going back for round 2!
I like the top down look and feel... Also really smooth for HTML5... Nice work!
Very well put together, 5 in mood :D
My biggest beef about this one was the length of time it took to get the game. I didn't even realize it was still downloading from GameJolt. Great job on the game, though!
I really liked the graphics style -- the top down view worked well. The music and the theme were perfectly blended and, overall, the mood was perfect.
The controls seemed a little mushy to me. It was hard to chase down the campers when you don't move as fast as them. Throwing the machete worked well, when I had one, but that was very rare.
Also, small inconsequential bug I noticed: when the countdown timer gets below 10 seconds, the amount of time doesn't look quite right... IE, it says 6:9, 6:8, 6:7... but, like I said, that isn't really of any consequence to the game itself.
Fun game, but it drags in the later parts, when you have very few coeds left. Zooming out and/or adding a 'coed sense' would go a long way in making it more fun.
The art is realy nice and the game is fun. I wish there was more machetes tho... good job!
The game is pretty good, I think the viewport is a bit too small and the coeds run around too quickly, so you end up running around randomly hoping to catch one without a weapon. Nice atmosphere.
Great atmosphere, really feels like you're stalking these stupid kids when they're running everywhere and you're slowly boxing them in. Good job.
I liked the gameplay that you have created. It was hard to find the last 2 guys. In my opinion the sprite of the machete guy should have gone in a other direction. It looks like a walking typewriter. Overall a good game.
This was cool! I died by sneaking up on someone with a bat though. I think that should be changed.
I like this old horror movies atmosphere, great choice of music.
Like your art style
Corner a coed and shank'd them, what a gratifying feeling! heh.
Good job with this entry. The music and sound effects are a great tie-in for the mood. The game's name is perfect.

I enjoyed the setting, and the description made me chuckle.
The game was pretty engaging, I enjoyed hunting down the annoying students but I felt that they ran away a bit too fast, I couldn't catch them without a machete most of the time.
This was really fun to play. The music adds a lot to the mood and atmosphere. Also bonus points on humour just for the title alone :P
Nice idea, and pretty good graphics on the whole, although tough to see which way someone is facing when that aren't moving.
Very cool. Love the use of theme and the art assets are particularly cool.
I love how cute it was despite being about murdering coeds. (Little hook hand is a great name) I love how you made everything out of basic shapes. It made it appear like construction paper cut outs. You really captured a B Horror Movie vibe. Awesome job with the fire and water effects. it really did add to the atmosphere. Great job!
There is some potential in there, it would have been great to expand the idea actually.
I couldn't really sneak on them perfectly, they alway see me :P maybe my mask is THAT scary :P
Pretty neat game! It has some minor things you could improve, but in general, it's pretty solid, and the concept is cool. For 72 hours, it's awesome!
Great job ;)
Awesome game! Loved the humor and the mood xp! Graphics and music are great too! I just think it's weird that you can walk normally in the lake and the sprites get that water effect... I don't know how to interpret that...
Mechanics are fine, but it's a bit unfair how they can easily spot you, since basically can only kill with stealth or by luck if they get stuck somewhere... But I find really funny how people ran away from you but left their friend clueless xp. At first I thought the trees gave you camouflage, but that wasn't the case... It would've been a great feature though... Also the map is a bit too big? When it comes to 10 campers is really hard to find them... catching the last one was impossible to me. Maybe a smaller map or maybe a radar?
Oh there is also some collision problems when hitting walls, but that's just detail.
Anyway great job! And don't forget your coffee cake!
I played the web version.
I liked the art style of the game, specially for the threes. The effect when you get into the water was pretty cool too, but after some time it gets too heavy and the game crashed. The credits button didin't work for me too :(
Besides that, you have made a very nice game! Congrats
