Neat little game! The graphic scheme grew on me as I continued to play the game; it was dark and it fit the mood of your game well, as well as complementing the music.

The control scheme flowed well, however I didn't have as much control over the player's aim as I would have liked to. Otherwise, I had fun. Good job!

Neat. This is a lot of fun, and I love the retro-90s aesthetics (and the pseudo-arcade machine). This feels pretty good to play too, the controls are nice, and I like the top-down, original GTA graphics.

Entertaining game, nice retro style.

I got stuck on a level when I killed all enemies, not sure if that was the end of the game but I would recommend to add an end screen if that's the case.

@hugonun Yeah I just had a friend that had that happen to him. I need to find out why there is an occasional soft lock. Thanks!

I got the same bug as hugonun, but nonetheless, very fun game. Love the aesthetic and the ads on the side of the window.

@hugonun and @matthew-hrehirchuk I fixed that soft lock issue. Thanks for the heads up. I was able to figure out what was causing the issue and it's gone now.

I really like this retro style graphics, and music compliments it very much! There was a problem as a viewport was slightly larger, than my screen (cutting maybe 5% of image), but when I reloaded the page and immediately clicked "full screen" button, everything was fine. Nevertheless, great game!

Definitely taking me back to Smash TV! Good game

For some reason I had to reload like 3 times before I could do anything rather than move, but it was good once it started working! Those poor hobos never knew what hit em... It'd be cool if the player had more than one weapon, or some other mechanic going on besides just shooting. Restoring health somehow would've been good too.

Fun game with a weird backstory. I think some more diverse sound and player mechanics (like health packs or a sprint function) would be a good addition. I like the way the art was done to make it seem like a 90s game. Cool game!

Ahhhh so fun! Reminded me a lot of Smash TV which I love. Also, got me in the zone a bit like Binding of Isaac does. Also I laughed out loud when I realized that the people were falling on the left side of my screen - I didn't see them initially! And then the crowd with the "Y A Y" sign - brilliant. Would definitely play a more fleshed-out version of this.

Great. I loved it. Twin-stick shooters are my thing though so I'm a little biased. It's well made and plays nicely. I had a lot of fun playing. Thanks. Good stuff :8ball:

I really enjoyed the maniability, the arcade feeling. It was like a return in the late 80's with the graphical atmosphere. I also think your entry is inspired by the movie Running man.
