Fits the theme well! Thought it was hard to find a good tactic, and kept losing, but maybe I just didn't get the gist?
cool little game for 48 hours maybe more features , variety and levels after the jam , thank u for making this game.
Hello to the creators and congratulations! The game is very well made, it's polished and has good aesthetic values. As other people mentioned, the core mechanic is a bit vague, although I sort of managed to figure out that targets with a lower score are easier to catch.
Given that, it kind of makes sense for this game to be a multiplayer game, where you shoot each other and try to become the most prestigeous, with the player with the highest score being the hardest to catch. I honestly don't find the output randomness to make sense in your game (see The Two Types of Random by Mark Brown), as it makes the precisive nature of shooting kind of meaningless.
However, my first encounter with the mechanism of shooting a guy only to have him join me gave me a nice chuckle, and I think that along with the overall great presentation it is a worthy experience to create in a 48-hour gamejam.
Good luck!
I love the old TV / VHS effect
This is interesting. The concept and presentation are really cool, but I wish it was a bit clearer what was going on, for example, what did the scores on people's heads mean? Is that how much I need to control them? Or how much score they give? I just wasn't sure. Overall, good job you two!
really neat concept :D
This game was a team effort from me and ToastedToast!

Amazing Graphics and very interesting concept
Thanks!
Best rate criteria : Presentation.
Best score : 130. Overall, interesting idea (I like the concept of "shooting" people to influence them). The only problem I got is "You can easily lose control" was in practice "You will, not knowing why, lose control". But I understand it's hard, in a game, to feedback something that by nature shouldn't require any ;). Good effort !
Thanks for the detailed response! Oh dear, 130! That really is bad luck, did you follow the strategy and target the lower score people first, since you have a much higher chance of getting them?
"target the lower score people first" Yep but I didn't found the system (that binds "my score / reputation" to the probability of gaining an influence) predictable enough :/
Interesting mechanic, polished looks, maybe an increase in difficulty would have been welcome, but overall it's a really nice entrey!
Visual looking good. But mechanic a little bit weird. Thinking idea is nice but need to work on it.
The visual style was nice, but shooting people felt a bit weird to get them on your side. At first I thought I was doing something wrong.
But after that I just shot everyone, but it became a bit repetitive after a while ... I just shot everyone until someone didn't got influenced and after that happend two times I lost. So not sure how I should've known not to shoot those people.
Overall nice idea, but could use some polish
Hello
I like the presentation of the game and overall idea altought I was not sure what cause some people not to subude to my influence. It looked like its random which would be shame because how i wrore..the overall ida was good.
I wasn't sure why some people wouldn't succumb to my influence.
The "influence people by shooting" was a bit weard as it could be anything else than shooting.. But the idea was really clever!
