I had issues with it crashing every time I talked to someone but other than that, I really like it! Visually, it's very nice, the music is fun while having pressure and punching stuff feels great! I smacked all the faces, and flowers and lampposts!

Pretty cool having world generation too so your running about is always frantic! This would be a pretty cool level based game if you wanted to do more on it after the jam!

Same as above, crashing when talking. But I really want to play!

Cool game my highscore was 13.
Maybe have some indication / highlighting of the object you are searhing for when you are close to it.
Loved the humor and the fun design of the characters. I had some problems with lags when switching screens.

Cool art and sound design. :sparkles:

My highscore was 7. Finding some targets is really hard. Needs some indicator.

I really liked this game. However, there was some major stuttering issues. Other than that, the art was very good and the gameplay was fun and I liked seeing all of the different situations the sniper puts me in. It's definitely got potential I think.

major stutter, makes it pretty hard to play, every 3-4 seconds the game just freezes and skips. I like the idea and the art, the places were too big and it was a little too random, i had many times i just never found the person on round 1, maybe an arrow pointing you in a general direction? I didn't play too long though due to the stutter issue.

I really like the juxtaposition between hugging and killing. I was frantically running around and smashing buttons lol. The mood was good, I really felt the pressure. Good entry!

WHERE THE HELL DO I FIND AN UMBRELLA!? NOOOOOO WHERE IS IT!? *dies with score 26*

God damn this was unexpected and awesome. The pressure of hearing the rifle bolt as your time draws near!

Seriously though, where can I find an umbrella? I feel like I can do better than 26 :)

Nice and funny game! I noticed that if I move diagonally towards NE it goes faster and used the ground to determine what I am looking for. Here is my high score! Well done, I was hooked!

That was a bit disturbing.

Other than some graphics glitches, the game seemed to play well for me.

I got a 142 because I couldn't find a shop when I needed to kill one. I had punched some shops earlier in the game though.

The one game play issue I had was that I couldn't tell which flowers I had killed. I was trying to talk to dead flowers for a while.
