An interesting take with the gameplay. The other people were a little frustrating at times, and I think it would be better with faster gameplay, and more variety in ground obstacles. Good start to what could be pretty neat!

Amazing how so few pixels can look so great in the hands of a talented person. I really felt the message of the game. The gameplay was maybe a bit simplistic but the feel of the game is fantastic.

Very sweet graphics!

Amazing graphics, nice job!

I was in panic with the crowd, great job.

Interesting concept. A lot more could be done with it, though, it's way too short.

Solid little experiment :) I'm ambivalent about the fact that it felt like I didn't know what to do other than the video game convention of go right. Also that the buildings didn't look like they were actually over your head to block missiles. One the one hand it's cool to not be spoonfed but on the other hand it didn't feel intuitive.

The feeling of panic +1
The feeling of getting stuck in a crowd +1
But not sure if it's "fun".

Good effort. VERY short.

Very interesting and "fun"entry. Could be something really special if you would evolve the idea. Great entry :)

I really like this little game's simple aesthetic and retro sound-effects. The sheltering mechanic when standing in front of buildings is a cool addition and I love the inclusion of the Wilson scream when NPCs die!

Very interesting game, the message behind this game is very strong.

Simple and effective. Great game with a message.

Of course, the Wilhelm scream! :D

I just pressed right arrow the whole time and got all the way to the end without dying, so not very challenging. The people getting in my way were annoying, and there was no way to help them, so the message at the end, while a good life lesson, didn't seem applicable in-game.

lol. Quite unique. Bumping into other people slows you down is a nice mechanic. Every time it happens I am like "get the fuck out of my way" :D

I think if you and other person are going in the same direction, they slow you down but you should be able to pass them eventually.

10/10 for use of Wilhelm scream

vicious_br 2015-12-17 01:32

Fun game, I was in panic with the crowd, great job.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629

Hey Vic, will review your game as soon as possible :) Thx for your rsting an!

I liked the horrible reality that I would have liked to be able to have something that allows me to push people out of the way... it's pretty striking that when you are in a life-threatening situation most people have utter disregard for others.

Very powerful game.

Lovely artwork. It was sometimes frustrating when the other people slowed me down -- but that's totally intentional and conveys what you want it to. Great work.

wevel 2015-12-19 21:08

The mechanics are limited, but its a good idea

sk16games 2015-12-20 03:32

Love the graphics and particles! There could be more levels though, or more obstacles.
Wilhelm scream yes! (isn't it kind of against compo rules, though?) but you still get an Audio 5/5 for that! :D

scorched 2015-12-22 17:13

No words!

Cool concept, and nice work with tiny animations/gore and buildings ! Simple yet interesting game mechanics, i liked the idea of gameplay.That was a bit short and easy once you get it but this was enjoyable.
Also at the very start i tried for fun to go on the left side of screen, i felt safe :)

great work
