This was so much fun!! I got a pretty solid giggle out of “it is I, John Capitalism” at the end LMAO

Art style was very nice, platforming was solid even without coyote time, and the music/sound design was awesome :) I would have loved a speedrun timer at the end to try and see how fast you can get everyone, but overall I really enjoyed playing it!

A really well rounded and complete entry - thank you so much for participating!

Cute and Funky Game, My favorite character here is John Socialism.  Luv it!

Submitted

Are john capitalism and john socialism related in anyway? I'm sure there's some brotherly rivalry there.

All jokes aside, this was a nice short platforming game. I enjoyed the tunes playing the background quite a bit. Also the controls felt pretty tight and I never was frustrated with them. The game may be simple, but I did enjoy my time with it. Nicely done for just a couple days! Keep up the good work!

Fun game. Good interpretation of the theme. Really simple and good pixel art style.  Ok music and sfx.  Its pretty short but for what it is, it's pretty fun

Submitted

this was fun! i thought the aesthetic was a really fun play on the theme

This was a ton of fun. I liked the simplistic but well-done pixel art. The music was great, and I liked the story as well :) Very well done, nice job!

I really enjoyed playing it although I don't usually play games like this. A pause menu would have been great though

this is nice! the soundtrack is simple and the 8-bit sounds are great, it would be cool if people you recruited can follow you

I'm impressed you did all this in 10 hours... The game feels nice and smooth and loved the end cutscene and the expressions used by the npcs.... Maybe I'm just spoilt but did miss the coyote time... I have a bug to report when the inspector is on a 2-way platform pressing the down key makes them fall down

Good soundtrack! very catchy. We need a sequel where you must escape soviet Russia under the nose of John socialism

The game lacks coyote time but it's fine. I got genuinely scared when I saw the first inspector.

The dialogue with the boss got me chuckling! Really cute game, nice work!

Dude, the idea for this game is amazing congratulations! I had a lot of fun playing. The controls are very responsive, and I didn’t encounter any issues. I just found the enemies a bit easy to avoid, but since that doesn’t seem to be the main focus of the game, it’s not really a problem. Great game!!

Very cool!
