You need some personal space but the people on the bus won't let you, shove them away for as long as possible.

You'll probably get RSI from this game.

Controls:

Left to move and push crowd left

Right to move and push crowd right

R to Restart

If you get stuck in a crowd, tap left and right to get unstuck.

Great idea for the theme! This reminded me of something you would see in a Wariorware game. The character felt a little buggy/glitchy when moving around but it wasn't game breaking. Overall I think this was a solid entry for the jam, nice work!

@esther128 The game is quite slow at the start but then starts to ramp up around the minute mark. There's actually no way to win.

Great game! And so relateable! I really like the soundeffects. Maybe some small effects like little explosions or some sparks might be a neat addition.

Fun, little game with a simple, yet fun gameloop.
But i would liked to have a longer audio-loop, since you can hear the cut in the music. But you did make the game alone and in limited time, so thats understandable!

Got to about 136 before it became impossible. Nice short simple game.

So simple yet so effective! I was totally engaged and survived for 131 seconds. Now I see double :laughing:

Well done!

I can definitely relate. Nice interpretation and something different! Really appreciated the audio feedback when trying to push them off.

I lasted for 132 seconds, during which I came to believe the following:

This game is an exploration of the importance of, but also the ultimate futility of, first-strike doctrine. All I needed was room to sit in peace, but if I was not extremely aggressive then my right to space would be trampled. The only way to take a mere sufficience of space for myself was to aggressively and constantly take ALL available space for myself, mercilessly stomping faceless dehumanized neighbors. No friendliness here, friend - we all know where that leads. Instead I will SMASH YOU and take this entire bench, nay entire subway car, nay the entire WORLD for myself!

Until my neighbors-turned-enemies amassed against me in such a large and relentless horde that no amount of frantic aggressive button-mashing could hold them back from smothering my rights and snuffing my candle.

Well, man was made to mourn.

Thank god for that beautiful crunchy sound effect.

Interesting entry - I enjoyed.

I really enjoyed the game; it's quite simple but has its unique twist. The gameplay is quite original, in my opinion. Keep it up. I won't mention all the shortcomings and bugs in the game as they have been described above
