Hahaha the way the dudes freak out really cracked me up. The idea behind this I think works kinda well. With some time for polish and stuff I could see this being something.

I was a bit confused as to how to play this properly, took me a while. I found myself messing about quite a bit and I'm not too sure about the movement decision. Perhaps it would have been a bit more intuitive with WASD+Mouse or click to move?

Either way, it's a very funny entry! Great job :)

Coool game. The graphics are very good and audio too.

It was very funny especially when they started running.Also I liked the start menu style. I know that is a small think but anyway it improves experience of playing this game. I think the controls where a bit hard.But anyway that is a great game. Nice job!

P.S. I'm happy to see that others use Game Maker too

This is a great entry! The premise is funny and well presented, as are the events in the game. Sending people flying around was good for a couple of laughs!

The mouse gameplay was a little too sensitive, sometimes it made it hard to stop moving all over the place. As another person mencionted, maybe controlling with the WASD would give the player more precise controls. Other than that, great entry, funny and original!

this is friggin hilarious. I think the end of the turn lasts a bit too long after everyone is dead, but it's a really funny premise. nice work!

This is crazy hahah! I loved the interpretation of the theme and the overall scenario. I never managed to carry over any explosives to the other side of the road as I had a hard time controlling the characters with the mouse. Seeing the chaos once the chain reaction has started was well done. Overall very good :)!

I loved your art style and brand of humor! I had the most fun trying to figure out the puzzles, and exploring how the items interacted with each other. I think I might have been more successful if there was just a little more direction in terms mechanics, and safer environments to experiment in (I got myself killed trying to cross the street on many occasions, haha). Maybe i'm just not very good! Overall, it's a great concept, and very funny!

I realy looked forward to trying out all of these items, but i couldn't pass the road without everybody panicing, so i never managed to do anything else then letting all people die by car accidents. But the Idea is great and i would love to see a bigger version of this with a better movement systhem and some explanation on how to play it propperly!

Awesome little game! I loved the music and the kind of open worldy feel it gives me! Congrats to you in your team. Defenitely playing this more than once!

mdwade 2019-05-01 23:22

This game looks nice and plays quite well. I'd say the controls could use a bit more explaining in-game and the music is a tad simple. An interesting game and it was executed quite well. Nice work!

veryeviltomato 2019-05-02 01:27

Really interesting mechanics, very well introduced too, loving the multiple situations you can put the masses in, very intuitive too! Didn't have to read a bunch of instructions to play the game, but rather just start and experiment

Was slightly difficult to learn to cross the road, but became very fun afterwards, especially after figuring out how every tool in one's arsenal works! The graphics and sound effects are surprisingly on-spot as well!

Pretty fun to just mess around with stuff. The poison is super strong though! Every time I used it, I got about 300 souls, with hardly any effort. I also tried some chain reactions with explosions, but I was never nearly as successful as with poison. I'd love to see a version of this with more interactions between things, maybe if you plan to release a post-jam version.

peringo 2019-05-02 09:47

@boxedmeatrevolution Funnily enough, we didn't nerf poison so it could be a safety net for beating the game. We got most stuff in the game, but failed on a lot of the fine tuning. Thanks for the feedback.

spacemonkey 2019-05-02 19:05

Wonderful pixelart! The game reminded me a lot of infectonator, with those cute graphics and chilly music. I really loved that game. The phase when people are just feeling is a little bit long. Maybe finish it after a certain time without anybody dying? Nice use of the theme by the way and obviously an awesome job ;-) Keep making games!

joaog 2019-05-03 21:29

I enjoyed that. The game is a lot of fun, the sound and the art are good. I spent some time playing and I really loved it. I admit that it took me a while to figure out how to play and a little more to figure out that I had to click on the other purchase options, I thought they were blocked or that I needed to use the arrow keys, but I never imagined that I just click the lines. I believe that some feedback would help with this, a caption, change the color when the mouse over or even a selection equal to the start screen between "start" and "exit"

geckoo1337 2019-05-06 15:37

Elegant game with a dark humor. I love this one, especially the aesthetic and the main mechanic. I regret to say that I liked to see how all those people died. It fits with the theme as good as possible. I would like to say that you should ad a button to exit the game. Really well done. You derserve more ratings. Thank you for this weird experience ++

ransom 2019-05-08 11:13

This is neat. It reminds me of Burnout, causing as much mayhem in one action as possible. The poison seems like it should be renamed a biohazard though, and it's also really overpowered. I used it to win in five days.

With some refinement and more content, this could become a lot of fun.

Great art! Lots of fun!!

Great pixel art, catchy music. Sometimes the people I possess were a little too fast, so it was hard to not run them into the street by mistake. Otherwise, awesome entry! :)

quadape 2019-05-12 21:59

This is very good! It was fun figuring out how the game works! Cursor in the menu is very tiny, didn't find it right away. And controlling with mouse with moving camera was pretty hard. Other than that - great submission!
