George is rich. George is famous. Every one knows who George is.
But unfortunately for him, George drinks... *a lot*.

NB_2.png
After a crazy mondane party night, George wakes up in the street... entirely naked!
With no memories of how he found himself into this situation, there is only one thing he can do: reach a taxi as fast as possible so that he can go back home discreetly.

No one needs to know about this awkward event...

Notorious Bum is a stealth game in which you play as famous George, who must reach the taxi to go home while being *completely naked*.

NB_3.png
But the city is *crowded with people*: don't get pictured, or your notoriety could fall down irredeemably!

#### Instructions:

- Use __UP__/__DOWN__/__LEFT__/__RIGHT__ to move George.
- Avoid the citizens who want to take pictures of you.
- Once you reached your taxi, *you win*!

#### Update:
We did a hotfix as some people experienced some bugs and freezes. We also adjusted a bit the global balance of the game as some values where clearly not the one we wanted to upload. You can pick whichever game version you like both are available : in jam time version, and bugfix version. You can check the patchnote to make up your mind.

#### Bugfix patchnote:
- Adjust detection radius of certain ennemies, as well as the size of the cones.
- Tweets now hurts your notoriety more hardly.
- Adding a bit more ennemies in the map
- Fix a bug provoking latencies when switching musics

George's reputation was saved once again! Great game, had a lot of fun and the touitters made me laugh. Would really love to see more levels (different parts of the city and etc.)

The audio is great here. The sneaky music that ramps up when you have less reputation makes me feel a great sense of urgency. Simple but well executed game. The addition of the tweets is excellent. Nice! :frog:

Good idea, and a fun little game! It would be great if it were expanded on more to give it more gameplay but what you have is a very fun and well polished mini arcade game.

Very funny take on the theme, great art and audio, a bit stress inducing

This game sadly just doesn't want to work for me :/ I tried both versions. I get through the intro bit and then I'm just stuck looking at a grey screen with the twitter bar on the side and because I can't see anything I can't get to a taxi in time so that ends the game. This concept looks cool though and the music is nice. The artwork from what I can tell is also quite nice.

Aww @norris-eldridge so sad to hear... We realized we had some troubles with our html export, tried solving some issues with the updated version but seems like everything is not covered yet. Maybe it depends of the browser, you might try with Chrome if not already. But thanks for your review!! :)

Wow this was stressful(in a fun way), the music really helped with the mood and it was pretty difficult which I enjoyed
Xotsu12 Oct 2019, 23:12

Funny idea and executed well. You mean I have nothing? Not even clothes?!?
I enjoyed this game a lot and the side bar with the tweets really helps this game. You should add a replay button when we lose, because we have to refresh the page when that happens.
Incredible job!
