cool concept for a game, and great tunes!
I liked the idea. More levels perhaps? Music and effects were well put through.
Rated! I like the idea, though I think the main mechanic can be explained better, as I thought the chances of controlling someone were totally random. The presentation was nice, and I liked the music / artstyle!
I liked the concept, would be nice to have a bit better explanation of the controlling mechanic in the game. Given a couple tweaks and some polish, this has a lot of potential! Good work!
Nice graphics and music! I didn't really understand the controlling mechanic, is it just luck based? I had a full reputation but still failed and started to lose rep. Anyway, it's a kinda weird but fun idea :)
Thanks for the feedback! higher scored people have a 60% chance of getting caught with max rep and 10-20% chance of getting caught with near 0 rep. while smaller ones usually have a 70-80% chance with max rep. because of chances, its easy to lose control if you know what im saying XD
Interesting concept, I liked the VCR effect, nice work!
Interesting game! The random chance made it a little bit frustrating at times, but I did manage to get past 1200 points!
Pretty fun game, though Im not sure what determines the fact that you will control the characters, I got like 10 people, then I shot 1 3 times and failed, because he refused to be controlled. Fun game overall, great job :)
Cool game concept and the game is really pleasant to look at and the sound is great too! I wish there was a bit more depth to the mechanics since as far as I understand while there is a lower/higher chance based on a person's score value, it ultimately still comes down to RNG. If there was more to this control process or if your crew of people did something somehow the game would be a lot more interesting!
This is a very clever idea that fits the theme nicely. Also the graphics are pretty good. Good job!
The game's idea is original and well polished, and I love the old TV effect. The only thing I'm concerning is the chances to fail controlling a person. Is it random or based on the score you've get?
Fun little game! I love how you also created all the art and sounds. It is nicely executed and makes everything fit nicely together. The screen filter also is a nice addition and adds to the atmosphere of the game. I share some of the feedback from other comments, some more depth in the gameplay would be nice, maybe some interesting stuff to add later on. But overall, great work, It kept me replaying quite some times!
Great concept! Would've been cool to do something with the people I controll tho
I also would have liked to do more with the people I controlled... Overall though... good job :)
It's a good idea, and generally I like the mechanic of gathering your army. It would be good though if there was an end to the means, I don't really get anything to do with my horde of people.

It would help a lot if you would rate my game as well, it's my first ever so would really appreciate the feedback! Thank you
What a dapper gentleman! The game is extremely polished with great art, music and post-processing effects. I liked capturing people, but I wanted to do something with my gang of peeps, like battle a rival gentleman and capture his followers!
Interesting idea, but I didn't really understand why I would fail to control characters sometimes.
This game felt really polished, especially with the post processing effects. I was a bit confused by the core mechanic, in that there were times where my reputation bar was full but I wasn't able to control people with fairly low levels. If there was some indication as to the likelihood of capturing someone, I feel that may have helped (e.g. invert the numbers so that the number above someone's head represents the percentage chance of capturing them). Still a really neat concept and a good submission for the jam.
Neat little concept, interesting take on the theme and the art was really nice. The game also felt very polished, some more variation in the layout wouldve been nice though :D Overall awesome job!
Very cute! Love the art and concept - I think it'd benefit heavily with some more level layouts!
