In what way does your game fit the theme?
In my game, the kids aren't as afraid of bullies when they have their friends by their side. They're stronger together.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself, but used an asset pack I purchased, and music from opengameart.org. I listed the creators in my description.

Good visual and interesting idea. But sometimes buddies stuck xd

Submitted

Cute and fun little game! It wasn't too difficult and it was a fun application of the theme. Good work!

I may have managed to glitch myself into a wall and had some of the ai glitch on me, but few issues otherwise.

Really great game! It was really fun! For a week to make, the AI is really good but sometimes the other people glitch or spin. But overall great game, this could definitely win!

Submitted

Cool game, classmates spinning is the best feature

Submitted

This game is really fun and gives me a Pac man feel, the only problem is the classmates start wildly spinning sometimes

Submitted

Cool Idea with fitting music. Had some problems collectings more than one classmates, because the before following would glitch and stand still.

Submitted

fun game! I like this idea a lot! Wish there were more levels, maybe in different parts of the school.

Only one small bug I noticed, sometimes the kid that was following you got caught on the walls and would stop following you and it was hard to get them going again, especially before the bullies got to them Might just need to make the colliders a little smaller? But overall, good job!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

it was pretty awesome.

Pretty good, I was just kinda confused the whole time. The theme could be fit better, but I didn't do that well with it either.  because of my confusion I didn't have that much fun.

Submitted

Nice simple game. The graphics are nice and the music is very good. It is not that fun but I like the idea and everything else. Good job! I would also like if you can rate my game :D thanks

Submitted

Nice Graphics bro. The music fits well with the theme. The arts are very cute!

Submitted

A nice concept! Really liked collecting the friends since the game was filled with rewarding sound effects and a nice music! The art was also cute! If you want to continue this game I think more school layouts would be nice! Great job! :)

Fun game with nice upbeat music! I enjoy the idea of saving as many friends as possible from the bully! The times where you are saving your friends while you escape the bully are entertaining and is improved by the cute art! I found the pathfinding to a bit weird at times and the students dont always follow you. This is still a very fun game. Good job!

Submitted

Loved the concept for this one, really fun take on the theme, maybe adding some power ups or ways to fight the bully could take this game to the next level, but still pretty sweet!

The art style is super cute! I also love the idea and especially the theme. Good take on the theme :) Only critique I have is that the pathfinding doesn't always work and the npc classmates get stuck from time to time

Submitted

Neat take on the theme, did have some problems with classmates not following and getting stuck but it was still fun to play :)

Submitted

Pretty fun although the bullies and the classmates get stuck in the walls sometimes. Like others are saying I would add a benefit to being around classmates or else it seems like it doesn't fit the theme

Submitted

Overall pretty good. I would add some sort of benefit to being with someone though. Otherwise, it feels like it doesn't quite hit the theme.
