Made for Ludem Dare 40 - theme: "The more you have, the worse it gets"

A terrible fate has befallen the city. The only option left is to flee.

Help the survivors to escape, but as your group grows, so does your risk of capture.

Good luck.

Controls : Left click to select survivors, left click to tell them to move.

Made by E Swain and J Kapella.

A Culturebosh! game.

Very cool puzzle mechanic and great take on the theme. Loved the art style too!

Beautiful game!
I can really see this as the beggining of a stealth-operation game!

I would suggest to add a little more speed to the players, enemies and projectiles to make it more dynamic.

Really nice! Would be interesting to see the game expanded further, with more levels, larger groups and more types of hazard.

It's a shame there are only 3 levels, I wish there were more. Damn you, LudumDare clock!

Really mice music and graphics, I had a few issues with a character dieing but the game not ending, so I had to completely restart the game. Would love to see some more levels

Great game! You got all the building blocks for expanding this into an excellent puzzle game. Nice scaling up of difficulty & concepts without going wordy on the player.

Stuff that might work nicely:
- Add a 'commands issued' counter (so people can improve on levels / get the lowest nr of commands).

Very cool game ! :) You made 3 levels and that is great, although I wanted to play more of course :p The graphics were nice too overall. Nice mechanics, moving your characters one by one. One little thing is missing for me : you cannot select more than one character at a time. You could have added a "selection mode" (as in FTL) to move several characters, but I don't know if it would be like you wanted it to be then. Good job ! :)

Great setup and I really enjoyed how the mechanics was taught/difficulty ramped-up with no giant text boxes explaining what to do. That's always a plus in my book. Music sets the mood perfectly, the simple controls makes it easy to get going, the graphics are nice to look at, and the levels raise in difficulty nicely. A solid entry. Nice work.

Good job with the game. The art looked very clean and the main game play mechanic was pretty fun. Like a lot of people here, I wish there was more levels because the game has a lot of potential. I hope you continue working on it.

Good game but I have some suggestions. The people are too slow and why we can't mark more then one unit. But the game has climate and I like it! Good luck!
