I like the idea, it was fun ! It could be great if we can sit up when we want (or I didn't found how to do it).

@golos-games its up/w-key. Updated the controls in the description :)

tuism 2017-07-31 15:31 ♥ 2

Hahahahahaha! I love it! Genuinely made me chuckle :) though of course we should not buy so much into sexist stereotypes :)

There are some control choices that I think could be improved, for example the running forward - should I even need to press a key for that? I feel like automatically running would be a good thing.

Then the getting up from the chair requiring W is not awesome. Pressing S again should work, and much better than right now.

Wasn't sure how to "get bags". And also feel like it should have something to do with reaching your partner :)

This game speaks to me because of my hatred of the mall.

Very fun concept !

Not a big fan of endless runners but the chairs were something new. I agree that it might have been better as an auto runner though.

Haha yeah you need a lot of energy to go shopping with your girlfriend. Really cool concept I can relate to. Would have been cool with audio though and mall music. Good game none the less.

Cool graphics, I like the color palette and the clothes when they fly.XD

I like the pairing of endless runner with the mall setting. The chairs definitely added a nice extra mechanic to adapt to.

This is super cute and definitely relatable. I got a score 84 - that's good, right? :D

I like how intuitive the controls are, and I love the concept - intriguing and quick to get its message across.

My only advice is to make it harder. I didn't run out of breath once. Also, my score never seems to change from 84, so I'm not sure what influences score.

Overall, 10/10 would play!! :D

Definitely agree with @tuism on the gameplay controls! Overall though I had fun playing and thats the goal, good job!

quixx 2017-08-01 10:28 ♥ 1

@angela-he I Think you found a bug there? The game gets pretty hard over time and your score should be much higher. But thank you for playing

Very good game, enjoyed the concept, the controls, the style, well done !

pedro-romero 2017-08-01 21:08 ♥ 1

A funny little game. I could spend hours trying to resist more time. I need a little polish, things like a "last high score" mark that appears in the last best distance or things like that.

baski 2017-08-01 21:19 ♥ 1

Cool game my best score is 1250 :D Really like it. Good game for mobile .

iseeicy 2017-08-02 18:04 ♥ 2

I was initially turned off by the graphics, but the controls and game-play made that not matter at all. I love the concept as well, which I think has been probably the most creative use of the theme I've seen so far. I wish it had audio or even just music though.

Great game!

deathray 2017-08-03 01:14 ♥ 1

Very cute graphics, and funny take on the theme. More difficult than I imagined. Who is "this guy" and why do I need to dodge him?

ajayajayaj 2017-08-03 01:17 ♥ 1

I really like the concept, I agree that it would be really cool as a mobile game. It just needs some music and SFX. Great job!

Very original game, my best was 12431. too bad there was no shopping mall evelevator music soundtrack..nice artstyle, compact, simple and solid entry!

ediamonds 2017-08-06 06:40 ♥ 1

Fun game. But why doesn't it have any music or sound?

badly-drawn-rod 2017-08-06 09:09 ♥ 1

Man, my girlfriend is tearing up that mall. I hope that I'm not going to have to pay for all of that. I'm too old for this - I need to sit down! Why can't she just go shopping without me, or go online, or just leave me in a [pod](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-40609115) where I can drink my latte and play games?

quixx 2017-08-06 09:31 ♥ 0

@eDiamonds I didn't have the Time at the end of the compo to Add Sound.. but it is defenetly added in the post ludum dare version I am working on

vivoubos 2017-08-06 12:50 ♥ 1

Haha, so realistic game! xD

Very good work, I love the way how the character is exhausted! So bad that there is no music :(

Congrats

Very good job! I liked the idea and how you made it. I would make the game a bit easier in the beginning and make it harder as you progressed.

freedom-is-slavery 2017-08-17 11:00 ♥ 1

Cool concept. Great in terms of humour. Some audio and some game balancing could have made it much more enjoyable

doches 2017-09-04 16:26 ♥ 0

Challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtKz5DBYziE
