Neat little game. I especially like the art! Some more levels, like different train stations would have been great.

Really fantastic! Great graphics with an adorable art style. Did you make that incredible font?? I love this thing. Humorous and original.

You are crazy! liked it, easy to understand and hard.
Nice job.

Simple and quick. I love the Gameboy feel!

I liked the art, but there was no sound. I think it would have been better with more levels.

Nice game, although it would have been fun to have more levels. I like the art, but some sound would be nice. I did find that if you moved to the edge, you could win very easily.

Good combination of theme and mechanics. Adorable graphics. It's a cute little game.

Like the concept and the old-style graphics. Good work!

Wish it wasn't so yellow.

I notice that moving left or right at the edge of the field causes the enemies to slide off to one side or the other, making it easy to bypass them.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! I really appreciate it :D

This was pretty cute and fun! I like the pixel art. Though simply walking against the left/right edges sort of breaks the game by moving the crowd out of your path (and the camera doesn't seem to scroll).

WOW I loved the art! Good use of theme. Too bad it lacked sound. Like kirbytails7 said, I really liked the Gameboy feel :)

Haha. Nice! Graphics are really good.

OK, so...

I kinda sorta fell head over heels in love with this silly little game. I loved it so much I decided to compose a soundtrack for it. Mr.Greenhat, please use this however you wish.

I really like how the theme fits in this game.

Also, it's a pretty cool concept!
I like the gameboy-esque graphics as well.

Nice work!
