Very cool concept and nice music! The art was good as well, however there was anti-aliasing on some parts and not on others. One glitch i found is when you run out of stamina you will keep running if you don't release space. I think with some polish and bug fixes this would be a game I would come back too!

Developer

You're the second person to say that. I think it is a browser-specific issue and one I'll have to look into for a future update. Thanks for playing and giving feedback

Grand theft divorce! Cool entry, I wish it was a bit faster though.

Catchy music, large map, activities, collectibles that I recommend you try :)

This game was very Fun! I enjoyed the Map Layout A Lot and I Enjoy how the character controls and how everything meshes together Very Well! Excellent Work!!!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! I love that the map is quite big that gives more exploration.

Submitted(+1)

Game looks great! I loved how the city was so detailed and big to explore. Music and artstyle are amazing, only thing I would change is maybe make character's speed little faster since it's really slow and town is really big to explore.

Submitted

Good Game! got me playing longer then I planned with all the games to judge. 

Submitted

nice and fun to play game

Submitted

Wow, I'm impressed that you were able to get so much gameplay done in the time constraints!  I love that there's such a big map to explore, and so many little mechanics that add to the gameplay!

Submitted

Great game!

Submitted(+1)

This was very entertaining to play, quite challenging I could say to get an higher score, the only issue is that I felt the character was probably too slow or had not enough stamina regeneration to keep up, also a couple of sprites were blurred but it could be easily fixed :)

very fun, top mechanics,

Game lags when you first start the game , and the movement speed is a bit low you should increase that a bit and the run energy should replenish fast , hope fully this feedback will help you

Developer(+1)

what device are you running on? Seems like some folks are having issues, mainly on lower-end/older android phones.

You can buy energy drinks with in game currency if you want to run before the bar has refilled.

Submitted

thanks for that information

Submitted

Great and matured idea...

However, the town is too big yet you walk a bit slow.

I suggest you decrease the time needed to replenish the energy to run or you can replace it with a pickup item.

Enemies sometime stuck at the corner of the building.

You can remove the smoothing of sprites by unchecking the smoothing option in the Resources section.

All the best!

Developer(+1)

thanks. There is an item you can get to supplement the time it takes your stamina to regen at the cost of in game $ (lowering the final score)

Appreciate the feedback, thank you

Submitted(+1)

Thanks for the tip. Appreciate it <3

Developer(+1)

of course. Thank you for taking the time to try it out

Submitted

Looks beautiful.

If I were making this game I'd definitely work on making movement more enjoyable; it was just too slow!

Definitely a good foundation for a fun game though. :)

Check out my game and see if you like the movement speed there!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I understand how that can be frustrating, but it was an intentional choice to maintain difficulty in the game while not making the movement feel unrealistic (especially when running & energy drinks). I mentioned in another comment that I had plans for some other movement types that would have increased the speed, but I didn't have time to do those and implement the additional enemies that would've been needed to balance. 
Cheers. I checked your game out and rated it. Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

Impressive game considering the time constraint, awesome work! I wish the stamina bar replenished a bit quicker because the map is huge, and I also had text glitches, but this is amazing. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Were you on Android also?
The slow stamina recovery was due to the limited finishing on the enemies. With only having one set of enemies running you down, I didn't want you to be able to get away no matter what, so it was done to add strategy to how you use energy. If I hadn't run out of time, I had a car planned (hence the gas station) & some additional enemy ideas that would allow for a speedier game.

I'm on MacOS, with Brave browser. Thanks for the explanation, makes sense!

Submitted

I am posting this again after playing this on pc browser really you made so much affort for this game it,z really breath taking to think you just made this game in just 9 days!! And what about of your health !! Are you fine !

Developer(+1)

It was a stroke of (uncomfortable) luck that I had time to get what was there finished. There was an incident that put my college on lockdown & canceled some of my classes all week, which gave me a few extra hours each day. 
I appreciate your comment. Glad you enjoyed it

Submitted

I know how much effort you take to make this type to game hats off sir !!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

I haven't played the whole game, i will later but this so far looks and feels like a good game and i am enjoying it so far. One problem is that it lags alot on android, it looks like its on 5 fps. Are you planning to make a windows build soon?

Developer

I can certainly do that once the jam ends. I can not imagine it would run well on anything but newer, higher-end android phones/tablets. My personal testing has all been done with an iPhone 12 Pro, so something with similar specs should run it. 

Submitted

alright

What a villain women lmao (I love the game rockstar must find a employe like you)
