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.

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

That was fun! The music was my favorite part!
The music is quite catchy and the game looks good.
I like the idea of an escort game, but maybe the theme would have been implemented even better if the classmates would somehow help you against the bully.
The game was good but classmates kept getting stuck on stuff and wouldn't come to the exit.
I loved it! The music and art was great, and i like the concept.
Loved the game :)
It was amazing specially the art!
It was short and nice overall!
P.S pls rate my game too :)
Short and sweet! A very fun quick game. I did get hung up on walls a lot at first, but once I knew to give them space it went great!

Really great game... take a round or two to get in grasp of the controls... once that is done, it is real fun to play. Pretty nice music too! Would love to see this game further evolve!
Got stuck benith the map and got bullied by ghost bully
Interesting concept, but it's buggy. The NPCs following me would get stuck and would just shake in place. It would be great I could have more than one NPC follow me, otherwise it's not possible to save them all.
Sadly I don't see how it fits the theme of being stronger together, when they are just running away from the bullies. If they would fight them collectively, it would make more sense.
Well done anyway.
this was a fun game but sometimes they would stop following me
What a fun little game! Really enjoyed my play and loved the theme, audio and graphics.
The only thing to say is (like other comments), sometimes the classmates will get confused and a little bit buggy but otherwise was a very fun game!
Cool game, but the AI of the classmates sometimes fails, and they get stuck in the walls, apart from that is a fantastic concept
I would appreciate if you rated mine as well :)
Was unsure of how to get the classmates to the exit as they weren't following me and were just running in different directions or circles.
Cool concept though
Great game! I think that this game definately needs tutorial, because it took me a while to understand.
