Gave it a go, nice pixels and I love the in your face unapologetic tecno music, game play was a little dry but I know time was a factor. I couldn't manage to get the bar full and then there was some clumping of victims. Keep it up!
Cute little game, I would have needed some more variety in how the popups moved and such to keep me invested... invested see what I did there! Maybe some things you buy and they drain your money continually etc. Nice work.
Such a clever little concept! Great tutorial too. Might be nice to see this game layout with less timing puzzles b/c I got to frustrated by the end trying to time it exactly right.
I was too dum to figure out how to use the shift key. Cool game!
BETTER THAN "MONACO, WHATS YOURS IS MINE"
@kerr - Thanks for the feedback, we might have to change the tutorial screens to make it easier to understand.
@settings - No sound yet though, we might add it later! I wanna record voice making derp sounds if we are allowed to.
@frozedon - The graphics are partly from another game, so I didn't think it would be entirely fair.
Thanks for playing everyone, we appreciate the feedback.
@ghostlygurustudios this is a gif of Say and me making the game:

As you can see we almost stopped the plumber.
@christoph THANKS for posting this, I'll get on fixing all this right away! You have to click on the banditos 3 times to get them to stop eating your cookies but there might be an error there I'll look into. Seems the tut wasn't clear to a bunch of people which is always a tough part of game design for me.
@christoph no worries, tutorials are the hardest thing to make work in game design imo! Thanks for posting because it will help us make it more clear.
Thanks @marjoriep The web build on itchio has some audio but we couldn’t add it before the deadline sorry about that!
@randomhuman thanks, we never would have made the deadline if 100% of the art was done in 2 days! I think a shop with power ups like you describe might be the best improvement to give it a bit more depth but time was a factor.
@ithildin thanks for playing! We wanted to make different kinds of levels and layouts but time hit us. Maybe we will make an updated version with some more advanced gameplay.
Everyone realize that @sayomgwtf did great art for this game just not the characters, and frankly she is so good that it wouldn't be fair to lesser teams to let her compete directly :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
@ddrkirbyisq thanks for playing, at some point we might add in some more strategy and tactics but 36 hours is a challenge!
Thanks @rolle I think one idea we have floating around is a shop where you can buy come passive defenses that don't require you to click so much. We also thought of having Matchy, the big star, be able to make faces or fart to blast all the banditos back. Thanks for playing!
Thanks for playing @icxon
It works to spam right at the cookie jar but it clears the banditos a bit faster if you are more proactive. The more you clear the higher the score, so waiting for them to get to the jar isn't optimal but I think a lot of people go that route.
We are thinking about doing a version with more advanced tactics and different kinds of enemies but we didn't have time in the first version.
