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.

Nice little arcade) I spent some time trying to win more and more points. All well done - good little concept implemented well.
good fun mechanics, and intuitive controls. had fun running around avoiding the bullies, but my classmates got stuck behind stuff a lot
Nice and fun concept! But I guess I just have to leave through the right bottom door and wait till the time's up, then go to the next level?
Thank you! The idea is to deliver as many kids to the door in the bottom right as possible in the time limit. I was only able to get two levels done so far.
Good idea on one hand I expected to have like a trail of friends behind me as I collect them that somehow repelled the bully and was disappointed that it toggles them so you can only have 1 at a time. But on the other hand it was a fun challenge to run circles around the bully and the fact that your character is just a little faster means you escape by a hair sometimes.
Wow! it's a great game and I don't know why, but I found it so satisfying =) I know you already know but the classmates are wierd sometimes. In general, I loved the game!
Good visual and interesting idea. But sometimes buddies stuck xd
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!
Cool game, classmates spinning is the best feature
This game is really fun and gives me a Pac man feel, the only problem is the classmates start wildly spinning sometimes
Cool Idea with fitting music. Had some problems collectings more than one classmates, because the before following would glitch and stand still.
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.
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
Nice Graphics bro. The music fits well with the theme. The arts are very cute!
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!
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!
