The graphics are amazing and the use of the theme is very good! I really like the audio bits when the people turned happy. The story bit at the end was pretty funny and unexpected haha! Good job!

I was expecting the audio to be worse, haha! I like how there's no penalty to missing, matches the mood of spread of the happiness carelessly. You should though work on gameplay variety or make it even shorter. The story at the end is what made the game imo

I'm sorry, I can't play this, Linux and Web only.

The visuals are really the high point of this game, but the mechanics are absolutely solid and serviceable as well. Nothing wrong with the audio either, although maybe some music would have been a cherry on the cake. Cool entry!

Nice story and graphics, even if the gameplay lacks a bit!

I really liked this game, thanks for the part at the end. >:( Good job. For sound effects and music try out things like SFXR, Autotracker, and abundant-music. These allow you to make easy sound effects for songs.Loved the art, keep it up!

Final words is awesome. You're not saving them, just killing with delayed weapon. Great.

Nice concept, graphics are great. I did find that the background changed a little too quickly into happy land. It would have been nice to see a more gradual change, maybe localized around the player to encourage exploration. Overall a great entry!

Ouch, I did not see that coming. Great fun entry. I liked how satisfying it felt to convert the gloomies into happies. Seeing the background change with every pedestrian was also very fun. Great job!

Even though this game feels slightly unpolished, I don't know why but I really love it.
Great humor, great art, great idea, fun to watch it transition. Takes exactly the right amount of time to transition. Really great game all around. Lots of 5/5's from me.

Okay, that was great! Put a big smile on my face that even the ending couldn't wipe off. Great mood and style, a really enjoyable experience!

Really enjoyed the details you put into the graphics, and the concept is fun. I like watching the town transform. More details to change or new maps would be awesome.







Really good job. Artwork is terrific, and really liked the transitions. Would have liked to see (uh... hear) a little background melody going through the same transition... but I completely understand.
Thanks!
