Nice and evil but I find the controls a bit rough

By playing that game, i'm more a victim than a villain. :<

Adorable game! But minimap not perfect, too small targets.

It's cool, and there is a lot of thing to do. It's very difficult, and everyone help the choosen victim. I have not managed to get a gun.

Nice, I really liked it once it got to the point where you could actually talk to people and each one is unique, thought to start with they were just there to mug.

P'tit soucis : si on commence avec le minigun comme arme, on ne peut plus parler (et donc avancer dans le jeu) =/

Wow, a lot of content for a compo entry. Music gets a little repetitive after a while, but there's so much other things done here, that it's not a big deal... Great job!

Haha, that old lady was loaded :)
I also don't really like the controls, but the diversity of things to discover kept me hooked for a while.
It reminded me of some of the games I had on my calculator in high school

Nice work, a surprising amount of content. The music ended up driving me a bit nuts though, and I couldn't find a way to turn it off!

awesome !

This game is so cruel, and thats why I love it Nick.

Great job! You packed a lot into this! I really liked the art style :D

As usual, a lot of play time and plenty of stuff to do/unlock. The minimap is a bit hard to read and the music kind of annoying but overall nice entry!

Good entry as usual! Except for some issues with controls and game balance, the game is great ; the amount of contents for 48hrs is impressive.

Impressive for such a short amount of time. Very well put together. My only comment would be that the mini-map is difficult to see.

There are a lot of fun things in this game ! I like how the drug people rush to protect the old lady, how you can talk to people 2s after having shot them with your pistol, how you have to hurt people enough to rob them but not enough to kill them because you couldn't rob them later, how the dog protects people so bravely (At first I thought it was a goat), how everybody runs faster than you, etc.

Some suggestions for improvements
- I think the game could be more dynamic if the character moved a little faster.
- The minimap could be bigger (I didn't notice it at first) with icons for the different buildings. Also when you look at the minimap it seems that the roads are wall, so I was always trying to avoid them when I walked with the minimap as only guide.
- It could be more obvious when you have "talk" selected and when you have "attack" selected. Maybe put the icons in a box with a reminder of the shortcut.
- It's a little frustrating to discover that there are missions when you already have killed the targets :)

Great game ! A lot of content in 48 hours !

Less alpha on the map and this would be perfect, although I found him to be rather weak for a thief... ;)

I destroyed a truck with a knife and killed an angel with a mini-gun. My life is fulfilled.

There's a lot here. It's pretty cool. The minimap was difficult to use. It wasn't showing the the dot when it said it would. I also got stuck on mission 8 when it says "talk to glaze again". I try talking to him but nothing happens.

Nice mini GTA.

holy shit, so dark!

Pretty nice game, but it takes too long for an interesting part, I think.
Yet I love your style, good job as usual!

I searched for your entry as the your last one for LD24 was simply my favorite for all LD events so far.

And this one is pretty cool to. (I actually thought about using the concept of GTA for my game too, as it fits perfectly to the theme.)

I agree with some of the previous comments, that the minimap is really hard to read. I almost quit early because I couldn't find the person to give the drugs.

But nevertheless a great game. Good job :)

Deep gameplay, the feel of completeness of this entry is awesome given the time was made. Top 10 for no doubt.

I stumbled across your game while checking out haxe - it seem that it really speed up development, as you managed to put really a lot of stuff here. Great job :)

i found the attacking at the beginning to be a little frustrating, but i'll keep playing more based on what everyone is saying
Demurgos6 Jan 2013, 21:58
Certainly my favorite game. It's incredible what you have done under 48h !

Highly ambitious, with a lot of stuff going on.

I think there are kinks you need to work out, like others have pointed out, but the game is really promising.

Extra points for style.

Ouch ?
Je suis surpris de ton classement, tu m&eacute;ritais le top 10 l&agrave;. Hormis peut-&ecirc;tre le copyright :p, je ne voyais pas de gros probl&egrave;mes &agrave; ton jeu. :/
