Awesome concept!

cynicalmonkey 2015-12-14 20:25

i didn't really find that the mechanics worked for me,i progressed past the first room once and it felt like random chance more than i had made an relevant contribution to why it happened

bateriadejogos 2015-12-14 20:25

Game is interesting, different, control the results of the player. Good idea and picked up the theme. But I had a hard time understanding how to play, even with the instructions .. hehehe

Good entry; took me a second to figure out the controls, but that's my fault. Haha. Very nice job!

wakeofluna 2015-12-14 20:26

That was very cool. First I actually tried to click at the people but later figured out that wasn't necessary. Tried a few times to get further and further. There's no sound correct?

The main mechanic kind of makes it a puzzle game. I was surprised how fun it was once I got rolling.

Great game, its pretty addictive.

Cool, really enjoying this although it's hard and it took me a little while to get the hang of how the actual shooting follows on from the choosing who to shoot. The one suggestion I have is that you might remove the timer for the first couple of rooms, or at least slow it down a lot more, giving people a chance to get the hang of things. (You know nobody reads instructions, right?)

Great 2 button controls! Really good idea! I liked it a lot

cake_catastrophe 2015-12-14 21:56

I like the idea here a lot. There's something nice about the simplicity of busting down a door, quickly reacting to the situation and then watching the result play out.

I frequently felt confused by why I ran out of time though. Sometimes I thought I was doing a room really quick but I'd just suddenly get shot! Other times it felt like the guys waited ages an I was sure they shoulda killed me. Could maybe do with some indication.

Good job!

I just tried shooting everyone, whoops.

cake_catastrophe 2015-12-14 22:06

Oops, just looked at the screenshot and realized lack of timer may be a result of my screen resolution maybe?

coomzy 2015-12-14 22:21

If you kill 3 civilians, you'll get shot, that might have been what was killing you if not, it might be a bug :)

coomzy 2015-12-14 22:22

Also, there should be sound, however on WebGL it sounded worse. I think the Platform Builds are the better choice to download.

marod 2015-12-14 23:41

Great game and interesting mechanic. I'm so bad I can even pass the 3 chamber haha

refreshcreations 2015-12-14 23:54

Interesting game, good use of colour to make the game tougher, I made it to the second room of 5 characters, but then it was just too quick! Cool :D

dustoutgames 2015-12-15 00:30

I like the concept, and it seems like everything works well. Alas, I am too slow to truly shine at this game.

ashdnazg 2015-12-15 00:53

Cool idea. Tough to play on a laptop, but that's mostly my own fault :) Might be worth adding support for two keyboard buttons as well.

It'd also be cool to get a recognition of the increasing difficulty: maybe a big red countdown timer before "blam blam".

mrnyarlathotep 2015-12-15 19:50

Fun.
It took an embarassingly high number of retries for me to realise I wasn't selecting targets with the mouse, just LMB or RMB the targets in order.

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-15 19:58

Loved the idea! Gets hard really fast.

broiledvictory 2015-12-16 19:57

I really like the idea and mechanics! Took me a bit to realize that you don't click /on/ the character but merely just the button. It's simple, but I like it.

drteaspoon 2015-12-16 20:25

Kinda reminds me of the old shooters with one screen except in this you don't have option to miss.

auroz 2015-12-16 20:26

Fun idea, took a while to work out what was happening though. Maybe point out in the instructions that you need to look which way the player is facing?

mukult 2015-12-16 20:33

Addicting game!! Neat concept!

darkflint 2015-12-16 21:12

Really interessting. Needed one run to understand it and 3 more to see, that there is a timelimit xD

x92rwzb 2015-12-17 12:55

Nice game.

geckoo1337 2015-12-17 16:04

A really good approach of the theme. This game is really addictive. However after the fifth room, it seems to me that it is too hard. I like the minimalist aesthetic. It could be great on mobile device as a casual game. Thank you for your comment about my own project. It was very useful so as to fix some bugs ++

obsessivenerd 2015-12-18 05:24

Nice game! It did take me a minute to get the controls down. For whatever reason I instinctively thought I was supposed to left/right click the people in the room in whatever order I chose. I didn't realize it picked the order you have to decide. Good work!

hotboxgames 2015-12-18 19:18

Neat take on the theme!
Graphics and sound could have done with some work but good job nonetheless!

mikhail 2015-12-18 21:00

Nice game

pepejson 2015-12-18 23:40

Concept is good however I can't figure out how to play, no matter what I click, I die or I kill everyone.

jamesmowery 2015-12-19 06:35

Pretty good game. I suck at these kind of games, but it was pretty good for what it is. I think it would be even cooler if the enemies and friendlies were randomly generated.

wicked7000 2015-12-19 15:47

The game was awesome, Great Idea for a game! The only real improvements I could suggest is maybe procedural generation as well some better audio and graphics but still really well done the game is very fun and has interesting mechanics Good work!

speciesunknown 2015-12-19 16:03

(disclaimer: I don't read instructions, neither do many people - they just want to play right away).

Very tough, I initially thought it was a twitch game, because with a mouse its somewhat misleading - I tried to click the guys with guns as fast as possible, before realising that I was killing everybody in every room... when I realised it was good fun. You should have made the controls Y or N instead, then it would have been clear what was happening.

almax27 2015-12-20 22:39

Wow, this was really innovative! Graphics were a little lack luster, but would love to see this idea taken further.

crucknuk 2015-12-25 10:22

Nice entry! Game is simple but challenging. I wish enemy position could be randomized. I managed to finish it and it was fun! Good job ;)
