Made me laugh out loud. A very silly premise, and I liked having to both cause mayhem to distract and having to turn back the clock. I found myself getting caught quite quickly - maybe having the adults have a line of sight cone like in some "classic stealth games" would have made it a bit easier! Maybe I just need to get better, but could have been nice to have a few rounds of attempting to turn back the clock.

Thanks for the feedback 🙂. I was trying to implement a light cone but sadly I ran out of time.

Took a while to figure out the sus-o-meter but once I did had a total blast - awesome job!

You know you're in trouble when the neighbour comes in to help wrangle you to bed! Fun twist on the stealth game genre.

This had me chuckling at moments. A fun submission and creative use of the theme 👍

Very nice game! Fits the theme perfectly, in such a unique way! Kind of hard to understand the logics of the game but really fun!

Very cute. The sound effects helped a lot with conveying the game.

Great game! :smiley:

Right on theme! It took me a second to work out who the adults were, so an in game tutorial would have been nice. Overall, a very good job :thumbsup:

9:18 on normal mode. THIS GAME IS HARD. I love it. The AI is so good hahaha, I love how they block the doors. Great music and sounds --good use of stock! Really makes me want to perfect every movement :D

This was fun! I played it at least 5 times just trying to beat my old time. I liked how easy the gameplay was to figure out and how the WASD keys are the only controls in the game. Very nice job!

Ah childhood memories....

haahhhah what a unique game. Really very interesting to play even if the grapichs is so simple :D One time i bugged out game when released pigs, one pig left in cage and all people were hopeleslly trying to catch it and i could last forever :)) Very nice uncommon game

matt-e 2022-04-06 19:23

@bohmann thanks for playing and letting me know about the bug 🙂. I'll fix it after the jam.

Amazing entry! Played it quite a few times but never got further than 8:25 - it seems like outrunning the adults is the most important in the long run. Really love the mix of mechanics, the well-programmed AI, the inevitable end because more adults enter. The music and sound are very fitting as well.

Funny concept. With some more graphics I could become very cool

ethereal 2022-04-07 20:49

probably the best fit for the theme so far! was fun!

aune 2022-04-07 21:28

Great idea, it took me two or three runs to figure it out. Once you get it, it's pretty cool. A bit addictive ^^. Nice entry !

mlho7 2022-04-08 13:17

Concept is really cool, and the way you implemented it is too, great job, it's fun to play.

kukurammus 2022-04-08 19:05

Really cool game, one off the most interesting interpretation I've seen this jam. Sound effect really add a lot to gameplay, great job :thumbsup:

ines-brezavscek 2022-04-09 08:19

Haha, made me laugh with the stressful music. I like the idea and the mechanics of doing things to delay it. I did have a hard time figuring out just who the adults were. Cause they were different colours? But really good use of music, made me laugh with stress haha

Absolutely love the concept! This was really fun to play and I really felt like a mischevious child running around the house. Rewinding the clock or unleashing the guinea pig are especially entertaining.

This is fantastic. I can't get over how sad the violin is when I'm sent to bed.

ruruie 2022-04-10 00:38

10:22!

This is a very cool little game. Good work. If you slap proper graphics on this game you have a winner. The sound and music felt very well planned. Good work.
