Shoot or Don't Shoot is a Top-Down 2D reaction game. You will walk into a dark room and the room will fade in, you will then have to decided who to kill and who to spare.
Kill anyone with a gun, don't kill people without guns.
Left Mouse Button - Shoot.
Right Mouse Button - Spare.
This is a brief oversimplified description of the game, play it to find out more.
i didn't really find that the mechanics worked for me,i progressed past the first room once and it felt like random chance more than i had made an relevant contribution to why it happened
Game is interesting, different, control the results of the player. Good idea and picked up the theme. But I had a hard time understanding how to play, even with the instructions .. hehehe
That was very cool. First I actually tried to click at the people but later figured out that wasn't necessary. Tried a few times to get further and further. There's no sound correct?
Cool, really enjoying this although it's hard and it took me a little while to get the hang of how the actual shooting follows on from the choosing who to shoot. The one suggestion I have is that you might remove the timer for the first couple of rooms, or at least slow it down a lot more, giving people a chance to get the hang of things. (You know nobody reads instructions, right?)
Great 2 button controls! Really good idea! I liked it a lot

I like the idea here a lot. There's something nice about the simplicity of busting down a door, quickly reacting to the situation and then watching the result play out.
I frequently felt confused by why I ran out of time though. Sometimes I thought I was doing a room really quick but I'd just suddenly get shot! Other times it felt like the guys waited ages an I was sure they shoulda killed me. Could maybe do with some indication.
Fun. It took an embarassingly high number of retries for me to realise I wasn't selecting targets with the mouse, just LMB or RMB the targets in order.
I really like the idea and mechanics! Took me a bit to realize that you don't click /on/ the character but merely just the button. It's simple, but I like it.
Fun idea, took a while to work out what was happening though. Maybe point out in the instructions that you need to look which way the player is facing?
A really good approach of the theme. This game is really addictive. However after the fifth room, it seems to me that it is too hard. I like the minimalist aesthetic. It could be great on mobile device as a casual game. Thank you for your comment about my own project. It was very useful so as to fix some bugs ++
Nice game! It did take me a minute to get the controls down. For whatever reason I instinctively thought I was supposed to left/right click the people in the room in whatever order I chose. I didn't realize it picked the order you have to decide. Good work!
Pretty good game. I suck at these kind of games, but it was pretty good for what it is. I think it would be even cooler if the enemies and friendlies were randomly generated.
The game was awesome, Great Idea for a game! The only real improvements I could suggest is maybe procedural generation as well some better audio and graphics but still really well done the game is very fun and has interesting mechanics Good work!
(disclaimer: I don't read instructions, neither do many people - they just want to play right away).
Very tough, I initially thought it was a twitch game, because with a mouse its somewhat misleading - I tried to click the guys with guns as fast as possible, before realising that I was killing everybody in every room... when I realised it was good fun. You should have made the controls Y or N instead, then it would have been clear what was happening.

Good job!
It'd also be cool to get a recognition of the increasing difficulty: maybe a big red countdown timer before "blam blam".

Graphics and sound could have done with some work but good job nonetheless!
