I had a bug where one of the students flew out of the screen and I couldn't complete the level =( Otherwise it's a pretty fun game! I liked that students could knock others out of place even if they were already seated.

kazik_210 2016-12-12 18:53

Interesting game but i had the same bug as jusw85

yamzho 2016-12-12 18:55

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! I can hear them in my head, screaming and shouting !!! Nightmares !!! But cool game though ! Although, I encountered a bug where kids disappear from the room, making the level impossible to finish. Although, good work !

spb_rusty 2016-12-12 18:55

Thank you. I think this is due to the high speed bullet behavior. I will try to fix it.

hovester 2016-12-12 18:59

As a teacher i can say that this is the best way to organize the students and the same bug that jusw85 comented happened 2 time with me.

Pretty solid game. Challenging and engaging, one moment everything is fine and you have only one walking student and two seconds later it's pure chaos.

BTW is level with 9 desks the last one? I can't get past it, even with all students sitting.

spb_rusty 2016-12-12 20:50

No, the last four with fifteen tables.

oldpeculier 2016-12-12 21:56

Pretty brilliant. I've always thought herding was a fruitful domain for games, and yours proves it. It's fun! Gets awfully hard even with just 6 students, but it's a great design.

spb_rusty 2016-12-12 22:05

Thank you so much.

ludipe 2016-12-12 22:40

Fun game, though it got a bit frustrating when I got to level 4. One single loose kid can mess up everything.

It was pretty nice :-)

spacedoubt 2016-12-13 10:53

That's pretty fun! Something silly about it.

dillonea 2016-12-13 10:55

I must say, I like what you did with the theme, and the game itself was a fair bit challenging, despite the simple idea.

However, it could be improved with cues as to when a student will get up from their chair, like if you had a very small timer on top of their heads so you know where to focus your attention.

Also, I have no idea what happened, but on the very first level one of the children completely disappeared, and yet I was still able to finish the level somehow. Don't know if it just wasn't rendering, or if the game just decided they no longer existed, but either way was definitely confusing.

hugofock 2016-12-13 10:55

Overall quite fun for the game.Just that, there is no strategy needed to control the mouse cursor, i just have to ensure my mouse cursor move faster and ensure my mouse cursor has ran through the whole screen then you would complete the game.

erikiene 2016-12-13 10:55

God this was infuriating! In a good way! Good work

caranha 2016-12-13 11:01

Lol, the game is rough, but that is a cool idea. You should definitely work more on this, get some timings, maybe make the student's walks more interesting, etc.

On another note, this teacher should probably be arrested for child violence :-P

mipo 2016-12-13 13:05

Fun concept but super frustrating. The game seems like it requires more luck than skill. I think that the only way to unseat a student was to hit a student into the seat the game would be much more manageable. Right now it’s impossible to keep students seated because every time you hit a student they all get unseated. The mechanics are there for a fun game.

spb_rusty 2016-12-13 13:15

It is not that too easy?

pagi 2016-12-13 14:15

Buggy, but really fun!

furyandmadness 2016-12-13 14:35

Fun game)

simonhutchinson 2016-12-13 14:57

Cute! The students bounces are sometimes a bit unpredictable, but I guess that's the challenge of the game.

peachtreeoath 2016-12-13 16:08

Great concept! Maybe tone the speed down a bit, it is a bit hard to react to students and make precise deflections at this pace.

uliana-galich 2016-12-13 17:27

Nice game i liked the mechanics!

onemanarmy 2016-12-13 17:50

love it

wannadie 2016-12-13 17:50

Oh wow, really funny yet simple mechanics!

doomdad 2016-12-13 18:45

Suprisingly fun! But oh dear these students can be annoying!

Few times had students going offscreen otherwise *thumbs up*

tkachov 2016-12-13 18:58

Well, that's kinda fun to play some kind of pinball/breakout with students, yet difficult as they keep leaving their places.

Btw, I think you should do something about your English. No offense.

alexanderk 2016-12-13 19:45

Good idea. Please add improved graphics. BTW game isn't loading from entry but loading only from URL.

adsilcott 2016-12-13 20:10

I think this captures the frantic classroom setting pretty well! Went from terribly difficult to trivially easy when I just decided to swing my mouse all around the screen like crazy.

haddy22 2016-12-13 20:18

Oh man! This is a little gem :) haha Ive never been so frustrated as when I have all desks full but one little kid running around who knocks out another then in seconds they are all out again!

Very clever idea, I really like what you did- Ive never seen a game use this mechanic quite the same way before. Excellent work.

spb_rusty 2016-12-13 21:14

Thank you all for your feedback and comments. And sorry for my english.

etherealwhisper 2016-12-13 21:16

I would say the best way of describing it is simple but effective :) Good job!

mighty-buxx 2016-12-13 21:26

Simply 3 words) buggy, silly but hellof a fun.

nwestninja 2016-12-13 21:37

Buggy and needs a bit more instructions, otherwise, cool

mmason 2016-12-13 23:18

The chain reactions that happen are nice, when you only have one student left and they bump one, and they bump one and... This is a good case where I'm almost happy that there isn't sound effects, especially for students bumping into things.

I feel like the overall gameplay could be tweaked and tightened up a little more. I feel like I can just wiggle the teacher around and that I don't have much control over the game. Also I think some work might need to be done on what layer each object is on, as of right now the teacher goes under the desks.

Nice game overall and it captures how frantic children are pretty well.

dude_the_hero 2016-12-14 02:43

This is like real life...

miggygman 2016-12-14 04:38

Man, the frustration to get those kids back to their chair. Now I know what it likes to be a teacher.

Fun game!

2bit 2016-12-14 06:20

Audio and some feedback effects would have helped make it feel a bit more satisfying.

zawdit 2016-12-14 12:29

Its nice to see some original ideas being used, sweet concept based on the theme of the jam.

megalink 2016-12-14 12:42

this is pretty cool! the art needs some work but the concept is the most original I have seen yet! good job!

hunttis 2016-12-14 12:42

Really frustrating, but funny idea :D

The students moved perhaps a bit fast to be controllable, though it made me laugh when I had only one student to sit down and a small chain reaction later, everyone was running around :D

tubbys 2016-12-14 13:07

Nice concept, could use some sound for better effect. Had a bug where some students dissapeared which made it so I could not finish.

wwwhizz 2016-12-14 14:03

Neat idea, fits the theme, graphics could be better. Little buggy here and there.

bigbuggames 2016-12-14 14:12

I enjoyed it! I like the concept, never played anything like this before. On the level 3 there was a bug with kids disappearing, so I could not finish the level. Good job!

aemiliu5 2016-12-14 14:52

Weird idea, but really fun!
Students knocking the other students out of their seats was kind of frustrating, though, it added to the difficulty :P

dagegen 2016-12-14 15:39

Does anything happen once you beat the game? I'm not sure if I won or got stuck.

jupitron 2016-12-14 16:08

I was a teacher for some minutes until the game broke but it was cool enough to make feel good. I know how to sit children now.

fingamer 2016-12-14 16:45

I wouldn't like it if I were that techer. Cool and simple game! I had the bug that many users have commented about, too though.

freyby 2016-12-14 17:38

Easy concept, funny, relaxing but on the same time a bit challenging to play, well done!

multitudes22 2016-12-14 17:57

This shall forever live in my nightmares. Great game, it was really hard! I couldn't get past the third level.

robert_steiner 2016-12-14 18:39

This is crazy. More than those air-bubble puzzles from the 80's
As others said, it's possible to lose a kid, or to bounce two kids into one table.

prospero 2016-12-14 20:01

I'll never be a teacher! ;) Cool game! Improve it and I think this could be really neat.

dustoutgames 2016-12-14 20:42

I didn't want to stop playing this game, even though it was super hard! The fact that the kids can bounce each other out of their seats is hilarious, and challenging! I really wish there had been some kind of zaney music to go along with this, but it was fun even without it!

p4nurge 2016-12-14 20:51

Haha, this is hilariously good fun! Such a simple mechanic but so joyously frustrating to play! I'm a teacher myself and I have to say that this is a pretty accurate simulation... :)

Great work!

sapoi 2016-12-14 21:37

Really funny game, but I was so bad at it.

dyn 2016-12-14 22:17

Серега-читер! Лови пятюни!

awesomerex 2016-12-15 00:27

I had fun bouncing the students around, but ran into the bug where someone flew off screen and I couldn't continue.

titomakanijr 2016-12-15 07:49

That gets so hard SO fast! I think this game is pretty alright, I just wish I had more exact control over where the students will go, but maybe the lack of that control is by design. Overall I think this a nice goofy/fun game. Good job with the entry!

homeworld 2016-12-15 10:26

Pretty neat game, I think some of the students either occupied the same spot or disappeared at times.

rodobodolfo 2016-12-15 11:33

Really fun. I like the way it scales up, crazy by the last level. How do i reach these kidsss?

Fun ! :)
The game stop after 15 sit...

kadadev 2016-12-15 23:54

Blurring the line between game and actual dealing with small children simulator. Cute game! :D

mooncalf 2016-12-16 04:28

Very addictive! Just when you almost get the last couple, the first ones are running around again. I love the idea, and it is quite compelling for something so simple. Nice entry!

aster0id2000 2016-12-17 08:34

Good game! Teacher runs like crazy...

seano 2016-12-17 21:28

Bit dark really, was fun to play though.

acuadoystudios 2016-12-17 21:38

Hey, I liked your game it was actually fun.
You can improve the audio and the graphics at some point but overall not bad!
And please go and try out my game!

harark 2016-12-18 14:57

Nice concept! I got the feeling that two students sometimes could sit at the same table, but not sure.

makhovykh 2016-12-19 16:32

Really nice and fun game!

mrwillowb 2016-12-22 05:39

Nice simple game, had fun.

palarus 2016-12-23 22:29

Interesting idea, but at some point I feel like all I was doing is just passing randomly through the room. Maybe some kind of power-up or changing the mechanic a little bit would make it better. Good work!

romandtom 2016-12-24 10:34

lloooooooooooool, srsly how did you think about it ??
oh and you might want to fix the web frame in this page cuz it doesn't work atm (had to click the web link) :x

xanjos 2016-12-25 01:39

Think I ran into some bugs where some of the students flew out of bounds preventing me from completing a level but it's a pretty interesting take on a herding game plus I find it amusing how you can whack the students about like a hockey puck.

bluethelemon 2016-12-27 01:17

HAAAAAA ! SIT DOWN YOU PUNKS ! (Love it <3)

th3dz 2016-12-27 23:32

Preetty damn hard! But cool idea!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2017-01-02 10:34

Surprisingly fun but a bit too random for my taste. And the bigger the room (the more tables and students), the more random it gets :D
But you got a cool idea, and I'm sure adding gameplay variations you could get a really addicting game!
Nice work :D

polygonteam 2017-01-02 17:38

haha. nice)!
