I loved it. You've got mad skills.

It was a bit difficult to play on a trackpad, but other than that, it was great! I used to play a lot of Virtua Cop, so this really brings back memories. Great job.

Excellent! Difficulty was just right - died my first time, then beat it on my second run. Reminded me of Time Crisis. :) I love that you can shoot down the knives! Great job.

Nice work! I would've liked a cover mechanic (i was searching the keyboard for one, though i probably only needed it coz i was trackpadding). Loved the deadpan voice...

@pdyxs: The Shame of it is, that is my normal voice. I am just too self conscious to scream into the microphone. Also I did not want my neighbors calling the cops on my death screams.

Really cool entry. Again the trackpad difficulty was intense. But I enjoyed it and actually played it through anyway. One of the best games I've seen so far.

The intro screen is funny.
But the enemy's throw there knifes a bit fast. didnt get too far :(

* Very nice. Finished the level.
* Had a hard time with reloading. Is there a key for it, what I do is I click on the icon on the lower right
* Sometimes the enemies doesn't die at the first hit.

Very good entry, I liked it.
The only bad thing is the sound of the gun. But 5/5 for Theme and Graphics!

The gun sound is me flicking my note book right next to the speaker. I never claimed to be an audio engineer. But I am glad you liked the rest of the game.

I'm biased. I love railshooters to a fault. But this was an incredible piece of work for 48 hours.
Animations, scripted scene, ragdolls (I adore ragdolls - ragdolls are proven to make any game 83% more legendary) - considering I spent the better half of a day not making squares collide I must bow to you sir.

Excellent piece of work :)

Oh yeah, great twist on the prison break meaning :D

Great game.. I always wanted to make a lightgun game... maybe for the next LD. A lot of content and really fun. Good luck!!

matthias_zarzecki25 Aug 2011, 21:03

Neat. Although it took me 2 seconds to realize it was on rails :-)

Very impressive animations (and graphics in general) for being done in one weekend!

It was a little frustrating that once a knife was in the air, there didn't seem to be much you could do to avoid it (though it's possible I missed something).

Thanks for a great game!

Nice. I particularly like how you can shoot down the knives.

mpc17428 Aug 2011, 02:26

So much fun! Wish I had a light gun and a foot pedal. As skilled as this guard is, I doubt he'd be keeping his job for long after this incident.

angrygeometry29 Aug 2011, 01:54

i bet this would be fun as hell with a light gun. what you achieved in the time limit is utterly staggering. amazing work.

I really enjoyed this one!. Well done!

Virtua Cop in 48 hours? Consider me impressed. The game was also really fun to play. Top notch graphics considering the timeframe.

Nice game, I like the use of the rag doll effect, the graphics could be a little more polished but the animations are cool. The gameplay is well tweaked.
