Funny game !

Really cool premise, would love to see an expanded version with more puzzle elements!

Yes, I had more ideas at the beginning, like combos or bonus (kill in the water, kill in the fire...) but I had to scrap them.

great game...super funny...I was hoping to be able to drown the kids in the water, but I guess they are excellent swimmers

The risk/reward gameplay is pretty fun!

@ZzCalvinzZ Thanks! That means a lot to me!

Kids were initially losing health in water, but I found that the game was already easy enough, given the 60 seconds timeout.

I really liked this!

The little texts made it for me!

I'd have loved to see some more levels, maybe with the kids fighting back?

I really like this, such a simple idea but I was quite happy to play it over and over again.

I know you said not to rate the music but I still love the sounds of the kids!

Very fun game. Simple and addictive!

When I saw screenshot I didn't seem fun but then I played and it was great one minut.

High on everything except graphic.

TAKE THAT TOMMY!

Simple but nifty mechanic. Real fun to play!!

Really great overall. Challenging to finish in time and nice concept.

I found myself always trapping them in the corners. It'd be cool if you could maybe leave an illusion of yourself behind to prevent them from running back the way they came.

I liked the risk versus reward aspect of the game. However, after you reach the "win" state I recommend removing the ghost's health meter that way the player does not die after winning unless that was intended. On a final note, the children sometimes get stuck in the bottom left corner of the map if you chase them towards it. Other than that I had a blast playing the game, great work!

I like that the kids try to swim in the water, it was a nice touch. It took me 4 tries to win, one little bugger always escaped. Good game:)

i won but also i died.

Nice game play, I was sold on the description! Love you can drown a kid too and there's a different graphic for it! Stupid kids.

mitkus 2015-09-01 08:26

Nice and simple.

I liked the graphics, but I couldn't hear any audio at all.

I liked the idea of this game! The screams of the stupid kids were funny to me, and I just wanted to do whatever it is that I was doing to them more!

I think the potential to do some more with this is pretty good, as others have already pointed out. Nice work!
