Running with Scissors Planner (A Ludum Dare 40 Gamejam submission):

Running with Scissors Planner is a frantically-paced topdown puzzle game, where you guide
a classroom of savage, scissor-wielding five-year-olds back to their desks safely!

Their delicate dance is choreographed one leg at a time, until your entire room
somehow manages to get back safely in one piece!

Each child had a given length of time to find their desk!

If you take too long to finish a leg, or you have a deadly mishap, the leg resets,
with one second deducted from your timer!

We present 4 levels, with an extra special finale!
