This is such a well made game! Fantastic work on it! Had so much fun playing it!

This was quite a fun game and clearly well-polished. The wall jumping was annoying at times, but my interest in chasing the guy kept me going. That ending was a chef's kiss, Good job! I hope more people play this!

Submitted

I enjoyed playing this A LOT! It was very well made: the visuals and audio are very good and the game has a lot of mechanics. I'm stunned that you pulled this off in a single week! :o

I was also surprised by how it all unfolded in the end!

Definitely one of the best submissions that I've played! :)

Submitted

Incredible art. Jumping sometimes feels uneasy, for example almost at the beginning when the guy repeatedly throws stuff from above - it took a while to jump to his level. Other that that, gameplay feels pretty solid.

Developer

Thank you for your review ! Jumping to his level is actually a cheese, your are supposed to go to the bottom path, and walljump. This "bossfight" was modified a bit before the deadline and we didn't see that cheese in time, sorry for the inconvenience ^^'.

Submitted

Great work, really. In just a week? You nailed it.

Developer

Thank you! We would have loved to have just a bit more time to add more polish here and there, but we are glad you enjoyed our little game =)

story is good 

good Game

Developer

Thank you =)!

Submitted

A very funny game. Good job and great idea)

Submitted

Please share your game more it's really great game!

I didn't love that touching the cops did not make them catch you (in the second guy). And in the car chasing the UI bugged and the icon didn't was in the right place.

Thank you a LOT for your comment!

We must admit that, despite the jam being really fun and educational for us, the end result lacks a lot of polish (as you pointed out, but there is also tons of scrapped stuff we didn't have time to implement or test properly) and left us with a bitter taste in our mouthes, so we didn't plan to rate a lot of games to avoid showing it ^^'.

Your heartwarming comment really makes us consider to show it a bit more and not be too ashamed of it, so thank you for that =).

This is definitely NOT a result you should be ashamed of! 

I feel like most people have stuff that they would've maybe wanted to do differently or add to their submission (I scrapped 2/3 of the idea that I initially had 😄 partially due to me eventually working alone in the end). Most games that I've played have some bugs or unfinished things, I actually felt like your game didn't really suffer from that. 

When playing these games I keep in mind that they were made within a week (and with varying amounts of time invested). And in the end, most people are probably in it for the fun and to learn stuff, and not for the competition. I'm pretty sure your game is doing well with ratings, I gave it 5 stars on most things 🙂.

Submitted

Don't think that way, it's really great game that I would love to play more when you update it so you need that "early stage" comment to see what you did better and what not! I will keep 'n eye on your game :)

Submitted

I'm shocked! That was so amazing, I'm not just being nice now. I totally did not expect it to play out like that. I think it's a first time a jam game got me so emotional. The idea behind this game is absolutely fantastic! Great, great job

Developer

Wow, thank you a lot! Since it's our first story-focused game, we didn't know if the storytelling would work or not (especially since we didn't have time to implement everything we wanted, damn 7-days limit =p), so we are really relieved by your comment. Thank you again!

Submitted

Great game! It's clear you put a lot of effort into it!

Developer

Thank you ^^! We tried our best, and we are glad you enjoyed it =)

Submitted

I like this graphics

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Crazy story game. The police did not kill the people so idk what to do then, so jumo trough the guys trowing stuff. Good implentation of the theme.

Developer(+1)

Thank you a lot! For the police, you are supposed to go on the path at the bottom of the screen (where the guys is throwing the stuff), but I guess you managed to cheese it, well done =).

Submitted

This is a great game, I really liked the story, and how the gameplay changes up between each experience(In my opinion, the first one is the best one).

Developer

Thank you a lot for your opinion! We hope the story was understandable, because we couldn't implement everything that was planned, and we are glad you enjoyed our little game =)
