Pineapple Police
You are in charge of pizza delivery. Unfortunately, all your pizzas have pineapple on! We can't have that, so the Pineapple Police is after you trying to catch you before you can deliver your pizzas. How many pizzas can you deliver while they're still hot without being caught by the Pineapple Police?

Delivered a couple of pizzas!
What I liked
- pleasant graphics
- the actual difficulty of the game is ok
- the map is not too large, so you get the context of what's going on
- I like that you though about the pathing for police, so you can actually avoid it
The sound department left the chat (so did in my game partially lol), but hey. I liked it! I wish I could've understood more of the Police behaviour. Is it strictly random?
Good job!

I have now experienced turn based pacman, and it was pretty fun, so thank you!
I really like the graphics. As for the gameplay, I like it, but I'm not sure how far it's possible to get. I got to 17, at which point the police had me cornered, and a delivery due in three turns was on the other side of the map. I had two options. Either go straight to the delivery, which meant getting caught, or run away safely, which meant failing to deliver on time. Either way, the customer would never recieve their pineapple pizza. Truly a sad moment.

It becomes very hard the longer it goes. My highscore is 19

Nice puzzle game. It becomes quite challenging after the third police car.
I managed 13 points, not too bad but I believe you can go way higher :smile:
The style of the game is lovely. Good job!

Really nice to play, I got into it several times even if my score never went up very high ^^
In any case it is in the theme is well executed

On the other hand when you go up in the turns it tends to crash quickly

Got to a highscore of 25 :v: Did crash for me once though upon reaching 4 cars (may have to do something with the AI?). Otherwise great job - I particularly liked the art! Music and sound effects would have been nice though :)

11 points and 3 police cars, not bad uh?
I love :
* graphics
* isometric view and car movements on mouse only
* game easy to understand
* not too hard, not too easy. Hey it's a modern pacman ? (not the same map though)
Well done!

Great game the only thing is that you cant tell where the police are going so you end up hitting into them when you think you wont otherwise great game

The targets can be partially obscured by buildings making them hard to see. Noticed them when they turned red (becomes a bit problematic when multiple targets start spawning). Interesting game.

Cooool, i love strategic games and this is also very fast-paced (or atleast it feels like it!) i like the compact size and how the difficulty gets higher and higher =D

cool game, plays pretty smoothly, you can kind of move as quickly as you'd like.

Nice game! Very easy to understand and easy to play fast or slow. I wish there was more attention payed toward sound because this is a fun little game. I think it would work well as a small mobile game where you tap to move your car.

How dare you!
How dare you make such a pizza! :pizza:
Haha, just kidding, it's a very interesting strategy game! Thank you to the development team for bringing me such a good experience.:heart:

Pretty good job. Congrats!

This is a very, very interesting puzzle!
I really liked the difficulty progression, the pineapple pizza idea, and the graphics (although some tall houses block the road tiles that are behind these houses).
As correctly noted in one of the comments - this game is very similar to the turn-based Pac-Man))
Restart on F5 button xD
P.S. My record is 14 :-)

I like the take on the theme, really cute art - and I like the humor on the "Pineapple police" - gave me a chuckle.
