Nice play on the theme, and the game has a great feel to it. Dash mechanics are really good, and I think I could really master them with a little more practice. Just enough difficulty to keep it interesting in the beginning but not frustrate a new player, but I think it ramps up a little fast once you're in the fray. Otherwise great concept!

I really like the controls in the game, it's very smooth and easy to understand. It does feel like it gets really difficult quickly. But once I got the dashing down, I was able to 'not go live' much longer. Fun game!

Hi there, i enjoyed it and the controls were good. Good job :)

Is it just me or do the whole city already know these confidential information they want to share with the rest? There are SOOOOO many people coming and I could not beat the game! I made it till about 60s left, but if you just wait until the countdown ends you win anyway :D Nice little game though, I like that you can jump until the top of the roof! Makes it more silly and fun to play.

Nice little game! Smooth controls and the art is well done. The neon sign as life counter is a clever touch. I also like your interpretation of the theme. The game is on the difficult side - that could be improved with increasing time rounds (such as 30->60->120->180). I only noticed one minor issue: clicking the "fullscreen" option on itch.io doesn't make it fullscreen (the game window stays the same size).

Hi everyone, thank you so much for the feedbacks! I didn't want to make it so difficult, the timer was meant to be 100 s and not 180 s, I apologize for that (now the game is impossible I think). I don't know if I can re-upload it with the bugs fixed. I don't want to risk so I'm gonna leave it as it is. If there are 80 s left or less consider it as a victory!

The controls feel really really good along with catchy music. Nice with tutorial images showing you what to do. The art and the smooth animations look great as well. Overall a well rounded game, great job! :smiley:

I really liked playing this game - the controls felt really nice and the difficulty seemed appropriate (...though I was hoping to know what happened if I won - didn't get terribly close to finding out :P). The music was fun and I found the conversation with the other policeman funny.

The game is cool ! It's simple, intuitive and addictive ! Graphics are nice and music too Great job !

technosander 2020-04-20 17:10

Really good game! I love the dash and its simple and nice to play! Graphics and music are also very good! Good job;)

black-flag 2020-04-20 17:11

Great game! The graphics are really good, the concept is simple but addictive. I mean it ticks pretty much everything that you need to make a good compo game! I also really liked, the progressing neon live sign too!

belea 2020-04-20 17:12

Great game! Controls feels really nice and the art fits perfectly. I find it a bit difficult, after a few tries I couldn't beat it... but it was funny to try though!

Well done! :)

cristinemrak 2020-04-20 17:12

The game is cool,I found the sound really amusing as well :))

fakeyou 2020-04-20 17:17

Nice use of the theme. I like the `live` sign lighting up one-by-one. Nice curve in difficulty but I didn't manage to beat it. Nice little tune too!

agentnick 2020-04-21 15:23

Very beautiful game! Very nice feeling game! Great job! It got really hard towards the 90 second mark. I could see this being a couch co-op game!

huntrox 2020-04-22 12:36

great idea and the art is awesome

fullmontis 2020-04-22 16:30

Art is charming, and the gameplay feels very good considered how simple the game is! I thought I was killing it at first, but I noticed too late that there were entrances on the sides too... I think the animations are probably my favourite part of this whole game. Good job!

vivoubos 2020-04-22 16:31

Wow! One of the best game develop on compo! Very nice. Is it possible to finish it? ^^

Had a good time playing your game!

ponypen 2020-04-22 16:58

This game is cool!!! Well done for creating it so quickly, it's smooth the artwork is good and it rus lovely. I will say a LOT of people came very quickly and it was very hard to beat!

marco-le-van 2020-04-22 19:04

@huntrox Thank you for playing! @fullmontis You're right, unfortunately it isn't very immediate, I'll make it more clear next time! Thank you for the feedback! @vivoubos Too generous! Thank You! Actually it wasn't supposed to be that difficult I mistakenly set the timer to a wrong value, but maybe someone will be able to finish it! @ponypen Thank you, I really appreciate it!

sneakyfox 2020-04-23 09:08

Wow! This pretty little game give me a lot of fun :) It's very polished, and i liked the artstyle and animations. Really good job. Also sounds is nice. But i can't rich timer, because from some point it get's really hard to saave the radio. Oh, also the idea with neon sign is great)

fizzget 2020-04-23 10:05

really well polished game, sound, graphics, gameplay, all work well. i look forward to your future Ludum Dare attempts.

marco-le-van 2020-04-23 10:53

@sneakyfox I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@fizzget Thank you for playing, I will participate for sure, it is a fantastic experience.

hugimugi7 2020-04-23 16:49

The difficulty seems to spike almost exponentially towards the end, making it quite hard :sweat_smile:

marco-le-van 2020-04-23 17:13

@hugimugi7 I know, unfortunately I find out the problem too late! The timer was supposed to be 100 s and not 180 s. Next time I'll play my game one last time before uploading it!

convg 2020-04-24 19:33

Nice wordplay :). This game was really intense, but that made it more fun, and the controls were really nice. I like the high jumping.

marco-le-van 2020-04-24 21:06

@convg Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

euforia-games 2020-04-28 10:30

marot 2020-05-02 16:15

Nice background music. Beautiful animations when they run away. Interesting concept. Playing it was fun!

2020-05-06 13:41

Simple but nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/LDazM6iYHxE
