Very fun, and funny :smile:
I like music a lot. What could be improved maybe, is that for majority of the time I kept running alone not seeing any chasers, but then when they show up they run very fast and it's very hard to dodge.
Good job!

I suggest that you state the alternative mapping for your powerups in the description, as people like me might nervously try to find the option to change the keyboard layout before starting the game :D
Audio: We have a nice soundtrack, that perfectly matches the game. The "horror" music in the menu really prepares for what is coming. The sounds of the powerups do also add to the athmosphere
Menu: Visual feedback on buttons is nice The background really builts up athmosphere
Gameplay: Running away is really understandable, being caught in a small town while everyone is chasing you seems realistic. Ok? Ok! Ok? ... Nope!
We have different types of chasers right here, which really helps adding more difficulty over time.
We have powerups, but some chasers are immun to certain powerups, which is a great idea. I'd love to have some kind of "ultimate" power up, which could have been the best man, which comes in to save our ass for some seeconds. That could have been something like, he picking up a bycicle and driving you to the opposite side of the map.
Enemy AI - Some enemies seem to not Aggro, if you are just running circles in the outskirts of the town :D I guess a higher roaming range/distance of the standard chasers could add to the game.
That god damn smile on the brides face, when u lose the game and your life is from another dimension! :D
Graphics: Simple, but solve the purpose here. The coffee animation is cool and the disguise nearly made me lose track my own character.
The little sequence in the church is lovely.
Innovation: Yep, i've not yet played a game where i have to escape my own wedding, so thats fulfilled! :D
Mood: I really felt that guy! It's just understandable to run away, and i really did not want to get catched.
Fun: Having an online highscore really motivates to play the game several times, cause u wanna beat the other people on the board. So the main replayability comes from the highscore here. Maybe having one or two more layouts of the map could add to the replayability here.
Marriage is scary especially with such a crazy wife! also her super best friend is intimidating
I am glad that my name is on the HighScore, I wanna see if someone can pass this numbers! Go Brazil!
Lol, nice game idea!
You got me with the fakeout "doomsday"! Definitely got a laugh out of me. The core game loop worked well, and I liked that you had a high scores list. The music was moody and fit the theme. I think the art and rendering seemed a bit squished with the aspect ratio, and the side-bars were a bit too big (I couldn't see people coming from the left and right) but overall a great jam submission!

One of the funniest games I played on stream, hopefully still have the high score I think it was 113. I felt like I could game the system by running laps around the town but still a fun experience regardless.
Great game! The enemy AI is a bit simple, so running around in a giant circle works for quite a while, but I loved all the powerups and various chasers. Amazing job!

Heyo - one of you fine folks jumped into my stream last night and asked us to check this game out... and we freakin' loved it! This is one of my favorites so far. Awesome mood, awesome theme alignment, sprites and music are a joy and the gameplay is a riot. Keep it up!
loved it ! great execution! very intense gameplay i cant imagine how someone got over 500 highscore but i can say it is worth shooting for!
Doesn't launch on ThinkPad X220
OHMYGOODNESS ROFL THAT WAS HILLARIOUS!!! Thank you for sharing this with us! Already linked it to a friend who watched me play it. Great humorous entry! <3

Great job. Music is awesome, I love the clever variations on Wedding March, and it fit the pace of the gameplay perfectly. Art style gave the people a lot of character. It was very easy to understand the motivation and gameplay from the intro cutscene without needing an explanation or tutorial. Well done!

I really didn't see that coming. Hilarious game and the popping up "X is now chasing you" was hilarious. It's clear you guys had a lot of fun making this and the game is fun to play and watch as a result!
Funny concept, love the opening cutscene lol! Seeing the "X is now chasing you" popups were brilliant! Background music is honestly amazing, was bopping along the whole time. Artstyle was also great, everything looks awesome. Great use of the theme and alot of fun to play!
Really fun idea and not what i expected at all from "doomsday". The games got a great sense of humour, the pop-ups in the corner were an especially funny addition.

Funny idea. To me the game is the most fun when you're running directly at people. If you stay to the corners it feels a bit too easy but when you're actually running through a crowd it's fun.

Very lovely game and had a solid laugh at the begging. I only wish for more upgrades, but the three you made were really well made.
Very good game, the touch of humor very characteristic of my friend Euler, the only suggestion is to create a system that blocks the sides to force the player to pass through the middle of the city, otherwise he will be going around it, congratulations again , a big hug.
Hey ! This is a very solid entry. Simple concept but then again it is executed to perfection. Love it ! Only minor "comment" I have is that I don't really see the need for the big panel on the left side, the gamescreen could have been a bit bigger then. Either way, really enjoyed it , thank you !

28 ! I suggest you indicate in the description that you can play with the arrow keys cause it's less annoying than changing your keyboard mapping for us AZERTY bros ^^;
It's quite fun, however the game was quite low in framerate for me so maybe you could have put a downloadable version, it's always a good move anyway.
The powerups are well chosen, but I feel like the level design could have been more interesting and the controls less rigid to have more interesting movement possibilities. Nice graphics, and very well done music!
Very funny! "The Bride started chasing you" :smile:

This was really fun! A good interpretation of the theme. Is the coffee supposed to make that framerate drop? I also would've liked a little indication of what to do at the beginning. Thanks for sending this to me!
Super fun little game! It got really wild really quickly! The only real criticism I have are the few little bits of jank in the graphics, otherwise it was great!

Hahaha this is so silly! Fun to play and the scoreboard made me replay it a few times until i got my spot with 123 chasers.
Not as good as this Nice score I got the time before that though!

Also, I love the music, very fun take on the wedding march.
Very funny game that takes an unexpected turn!
Nice work on visuals and sounds, all fits together well! Gets repetitive after a while but it's totally forgivable for a jam game.
Thanks for coming to my stream! Here's a recording in case you'd like to refer to it: https://youtu.be/1s0mnrLO_ak
This is not what I expected from the name at all.
I like the gameplay, though the pickups only really started spawning for me on the third run. I like the variety of guests that are chasing you as well.
I feel sorry for the groom being forced into a wedding he obviously doesn't want to partake in.

Great game! Everything is fun here!

That game is awesome, very simple yet addictive ! The music is very nice as well
Really fun and silly game, the graphics and audio fit perfectly! I think the difficulty could ramp up a little faster, and maybe have some other obstacles besides people chasing you to add some more variety, but overall I enjoyed playing it!

This is hilarious, I was cracking up playing this on stream. I really liked the character designs and the animation. It's a simple game but really well executed, and most importantly with the sense of humour it's a lot of fun :)
A melhor parte é como a música de casamento foi adaptada para uma música de ação, que ainda por cima se encaixa bem com o jogo em si. O máximo que eu poderia criticar é que a fonte usada na notificação podia ser um pouco mais legível, às vezes no meio da ação não deu pra reparar muito bem no que tava escrito ali (não que isso afete a jogabilidade, claro).
Very fun game! All the elements went together to make a very cohesive experience.score.PNG

Played it on stream and enjoyed it! I like the concept and power-ups are great, but at first I thought I can stack them to use more than one in a row.
Additional thanks for very great remix of wedding waltz. Great sound, controls and graphics!)

Funny little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/e8i89EcGrVo
