How did you choose to implement the Theme: State of Anarchy in your game?
My interpretation of the theme, "State of Anarchy", is chaos. The game implements this theme by having a variety of different enemies that the player must manage simultaneously, with the intention of inducing stress and panic in a chaotic situation.
Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
No.

Just a few thoughts on your game: It was a bit confusing trying to figure out how to avoid the enemy. To be honest I played about ten different times and could not figure it out, even hiding or turning on lights seemed to do nothing. Flashlight seemed to do nothing to deter it either. I think a little upfront instruction or even a hint would make players enjoy this more. Also, after losing, sometimes I would have to restart and close the program in order to play again, it would freeze for some reason. I kind of liked not being able to see the enemy until it gets to you, and the minimalism of the game. Good luck!
The scope of the game was originally a lot bigger, and I had planned to have a little screen show up when the player dies with a hint on how to beat the enemy that killed them. I didn't have time to implement it for the jam version of the game, but It'll definitely be something I fix in future updates.
Not sure about the freezing issue, I haven't encountered that while testing. I'll look into it.
Thank you for the feedback!
Yeah, time pressure is really hard sometimes. My own entry has some big flaws due to time restriction also, but check it out if you feel like playing!
Thanks, I will! I have your game sitting in my downloads folder but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
