Cool concept, especially in october, the theme is respected. A bit dour, some actions are missing (like cancel a house to go to) and the menus could be improved. But you have a great guide on your page to help players understand. Not bad.

Interesting idea, especially since Halloween is around the corner, but the gameplay was a bit confusing

Interesting concept, would be cool to see it actually more developed.

Cool!

Cool idea, can imagine a lot went into this. Would have been nice to have something to do during the run. Other than that I can see what it is and I dig it. Good work :smile:

Great concept. It could be a really good game with better graphics. Well done!

I got stuck at a popular house on my first run and after about a minute or two, I still was there and had to refresh the game because I was worried I'd be there the whole run. I avoided all popular houses in the next runs I did, but I feel the description's implication was the game was supposed to be encouraging us to limit as opposed to avoid them.

Otherwise, graphics were nice, the concept was fun and there were enough factors to consider while choosing houses to make me think, without being completely confused :thumbsup:

Interesting concept but graphics are kinda weak. It could be more interesting with better graphics

I really like your funny wall-of-text, but the steps that were so clear there became very confusing when put in action in the real game. Also, the central part about watching kids flow quickly got kinda boring due to the lack of graphic or auditory feedback. I would suggest to add a reset/give up button because it's very easy to waste the first runs on unrewarding routes. I would also diminish the time before the curfew strikes to make the gameplay a bit faster and more enjoyable.

However, I loved your idea and concept :smiley: keep up with games (and descriptions) like this!

I think you should try testing and rating about 20 games to increase your Karma and make your game more visible, so that other players can test it.

That general idea is pretty cool and fits the theme nicely. I had fun planning out the perfect route but sometimes waiting takes way too long. I guess some animation could carry the excitement over that time. An art style inspired by Prison Architect would fit that game nicely. :smile:
