If this had a mini-map and a bit smoother driving mechanics, it'd be a great little mobile game. For 48 hours - fantastic! I love the idea and the simple graphics are plenty clear. Great work :)

Nice little game with a GTA feel. Its one of these that the graphics sort of bely how well the game mechanics work.
Brings memories back of playing the original GTA! I wish there were more uses for the water cannon. The illegal gathering spawns were more fun than the supply drops.
Nice game!
Pretty neat, well executed little gta-like. The civilian physics were really nice. I felt like there wasn't much juice to squeese, at the end, though? You can deliver packages or disrupt protests, but I wasn't being told "hey, these guys are protesting because of X" or "these packages are doing Y". I think a little bit of story would go a long way here, and you could do it with little effort. Be specific about what the packages are, tell us what the people are protesting, and make it ambiguous as to whether the player is doing the right thing (in a very "Papers Please" way)
Solid title. Plays really well. Controls are tight. An expanded version with some more variety would be cool. Well done!
Great game, probably the most fun I have had with a LD49 game so far!
This is my favorite compo so far! The controls are super tight and responsive, and the ever-decreasing STABILITY bar keeps the pressure on. I like how if you collide with a civilian while going slowly, you just knock them over instead of killing them - such attention to detail! The graphics and audio are simple and work well together. Reminds me of an old NES game, but more modern. The only thing that was a little weird was that at one point I got three events in a row that were all at the same location (2 protests and a supply pickup at the police station). That's minor though - overall, great job!
I didn't see the part where you aren't supposed to shoot innocent people at first but after I got that it was super fun! The controls are tight and the graphics are nice. The only big feature I would add would be a minimap.
Well done, feels like a finished product and a great take on the theme. Even though I got penalized for running over innocent civilians it still made me giggle. GG
I'm not sure why they got outraged, I barely killed anyone. Pretty fun!
Pretty fun, I think it all works well together. I have some gripes about the destinations being difficult to get to (I got caught between buildings sometimes) , but I guess if I had memorized the map that would've been alleviated. I will confess that when I was done, I went on a murderous water gun spree :smile:
Really cool concept, and you managed to flesh it out pretty nicely in a short time! I was pretty happy with the mission variety. I wasn't wild about the driving controls - I would have preferred something more like Retro city rampage, where you just point in a direction. Even so, i had a great time. excellent soundtrack too, it really helped set the mood.
Ah, plays just like my favorite game in the GTA series, but, thank goodness, fewer cars on the street =). I made it to day 10 before I decided the pedestrians would look best decorating my fender...
Nice game, and the city felt big and alive, which is impressive =).
Interesting take on GTA formula. The little backstory gives a lot to the game. However, the main and the only drawback was the driving mechanics. It seemed that the axis on which the car is turning around is not on the centre of the object but on the back (on the water cannon). That made the front of the vehicle a bit hard to steer. Otherwise an enjoyable retro experience!
