What do you like about your game?
It's currency is the same as the health, so is it worth the risk to buy something expensive?

Fun to play, but severely lacks sounds

Nice twist on the survivor formula. Surprised I haven't seen it for running people over yet. Quite fun and enthralling even in the current state. Has potential.

I didn’t expect to lose by selling all of my blood. I guess it would be nice to put some kind of a limit on that. Other than that, neat.

Developer

the selling blood thing was very last minute, so i didn't have time

What philosophcal ideology is this?? Anyway, good game, i had a lot of fun killing people and filling their blood in a bottle to get upgrades. Good job :)

i really like the idea that trolley needs to kill as many people as it can instead, also the currency = health thing is very nice! it lacks some sound effects and/or music to keep player engagend. nice work!

Great game with a nice concept.

Liked:
- Mechanics
- Idea of health being a resource to be used great!
- Visual

Could be improved:
- Speed of the game: Currently the game encourages the player to go slow (which is boring :( ) . When slow not many cops spawn and it is easier to react to them. This way the player can farm blood for the more costly upgrades.
To fix this maybe make it so that more cops spawn the the player is moving slower.
- Upgrades: I would liked to see the introduction of scaling upgrades. Each roadblock upgrades gives - 0.10% speed on hit or something like that. Same with the guns. That way the player can try to achieve high scores and doesn't run out of upgrades (like I did in my run)

Overall great game! Which asked the question. What if the trolley needs to kill the people tied to the track to survive/ feeds his family :D

Developer

thanks for the feedback, if i continue the game, ill be sure to keep those in mind

Game idea with potential. Needed sound and juice to make it more immersive.

Developer

you can read my mind of features i would add if i had more time

Wow! This is a really simple yet fun game! I love your take on the theme, and the addition of the chromatic aberration makes the impact just a little more impactful. The idea that currency is also health is also a really fun mechanic that i'd love to see explored in other games. Overall, for your first full game at 14, this is really good! Getting into game dev that early is always a good thing (I've been doing it since before I was 14 too lmao)
Great job!
