A serious game of the year candidate! I love it immensely.
It definitely looks pretty, but I immediately got stuck on top of an enemy walking into a wall that completely boxed me in :(
THE MUSIC WAS RADICAL! THE GAME PLAY WAS RADICAL! YOU ARE RADICAL!
Radical! The only thing that was kind of rough was that all of the weapons seem to cause you more harm than good. You have to slow down to use them without killing yourself, and you can dig deeper than their blast radius in the same amount of time.
Couldn't run on OSX
Love the graphics!
Can't get enough face slapping!
The art and atmosphere were great, but it was unclear how to actually play the game.
OSX version crashes immediately on Mavericks.
Completely bonkers. I love it! Good job mixing psychology AND underwater stuff to fit the them!
Very cool puzzle game! I hope you keep going with it. It'd be really slick on mobile.
Pretty fun, you might want to tell people to turn off ad blockers though, the game wouldn't run until I turned mine off. I also needed to enable Flash on the page.
Couldn't run the jar on OSX :(

Cool, I didn't expect people to make tabletop games during this! Good stuff!
It's kind of like a game built largely around the drowning mechanics of Sonic. Very cool and moody!
Nice art! It was really easy to get caught on geometry though.
AWESOME!
Couldn't run on OSX Mavericks.
Awesome sense of speed. Also make an oculus version so I can crap myself.
Fantastic!
The movement controls seemed broken. Like there was a force always being applied against me.
Didn't run on OSX. Tried just the jar and the shell script. The shell script gave me this error:

Very addictive.
The character art and music were great! I was a little unsure how to actually kill people without getting caught. It seems like every time a person sees a dead body, you get a game over.

Doesn't run on Mac.
Nice, but wow that music was loud.
Very nice looking, but text is hard to read when it's dark. UI should be on a layer above that stuff.
Great art!
The game doesn't do anything on OSX. It just sits there with the drill animation playing.
The web game link is actually a windows download :(
VERY nice visuals, but hiding enemies behind foreground stuff is kind of harsh. It also seems like the best strategy is to just stand still and wave the sword as fast as possible.
The jump height felt too low
Pressing space to continue didn't work for me :(
Thanks for playing my game! You were right, Chrome just doesn't play nice with the game. Firefox is fine.
The game was really good! I got stuck on level 3, but I sure did try!
My main suggestion would be to give the thrusters a little more power, there were times that I was mid air and couldn't move out of the way despite hammering on the thrust. Once you have momentum, you can't really do anything to stop it.
Couldn't run on OSX
It didn't do anything when I tried to run it on OSX. I didn't even get a crash error.
Very moody with a neat visual style. Too much slow dialogue with broken English though.
Didn't run on OSX :(
Very cute character!
Very fun! THe only thing that's a bit frustrating is that your robots will dig dirt when there's perfectly good resources right next to them!
This would be a good mobile game!
Nice use of the theme! It probably would've been a bit nicer looking if it was zoomed in a little. Most of the screen was just an empty room.
Couldn't run on OSX.
That background is awesome, but a little distracting
I couldn't move the camera around on OSX. I could see the feet of zombies at times...
Windows game labeled as a web game :(
Doesn't seem to do anything. Mashed every key on my keyboard to find the "secret" key...
Stolen!
Very atmospheric!
Funny use of the theme, putting the download behind an attempt to make people pay money is pretty gross though...
File was deleted :(
Chrome wouldn't let me download it because it's "malicious"
The start game button didn't do anything... Also you should host the web version, it kind of defeats the purpose to make people download it.
I just get a blank screen on OSX
Doing chores, like in real life was WAY too tedious. I'm sure there was some twist payoff at the end but man that was drawn out way too much...
Rad old school arcade experience!
Wouldn't run...
Installed the Visual C++ redistributables and still can't play..
It doesn't do anything for me. I get stuck on trying to press any key, mashing every key on the keyboard results in nothing :(
Very cool game concept! You should keep going with it!
Read the controls, still have no idea what to do. That face sure is freaky though!
Instructions would be nice.
I can't get past the main menu on the web version.
The game shuts down when you fall off the map, is that the thing you only get one of? You should probably make that clear if so, because it just looks like a crash otherwise.
@flavio: Great minds think alike! I'll check it out when I get home from work.
For folks who want more, there will be more! I'm planning on making a full Kill or Kill game with polish, new mechanics, animations, cops that can't kill off screen, and hit detection that isn't garbage.
Check this post out for the main character redesign:

The walking backwards thing is something I put in for when you're "dragging" the garbage or a dead body. I just didn't end up changing it for the things that didn't make sense due to time restraints.
The full game won't have weird out of place things like that.
I do like me some text adventures, but I couldn't figure out what to do in the second area. It would be good to have more descriptive feedback on what you're doing or doing wrong.
I just get a black screen in Chrome on Windows. No container for the game appears at all in Firefox.
Very twisted! I like!
Keeps crashing on OSX when I try to play from the main menu
Definitely a neat idea for a game! It needs some art and polish to the game design, but you should take it further!
Wouldn't start on OSX Mavericks
Fantastic! Amazing accomplishment for a 48 hour game. Please do continue development into a full game.
The screen just flickers and is unplayable. Unity web player on OSX.
I just get a blank screen on OSX :(
