  • Cool game ! The theme was well applied. The game was easy to understand, the art was cool and that finale with the bus was cool !

This was a really cute idea and I really like the graphics!

Lovely use of the theme, I tried so hard to get something like this working but I couldn't decide how to guide the "kids" around. I went for a more dangerous approach if you wanna check mine out :)

Solid entry, great work!

Great take on the theme! I really like how you have to manage increasing numbers of kids, and planning my route to grab as many as possible was a lot of fun.

Very nice play on the theme, the graphics are fun and distinct, the more kids there are the more is was laughing and the ending was fantastic,  good on you for sticking to simplicity, though kids are slow and hard to control and I felt like getting points wasn't very skill-based, I still think it's one of the best I've played so far, and I played 37 so far. My score eas 690!

Very interesting and fun. I really like how you used the theme in the game. I encourage you to try our game and see if you are able to see all the endings :P

The theme of this game was absolutely on point! The dashing around while towing kids is a frantic job of mapping and efficiency. Also, the ending - love it, that was hilarious! XD Nice work here!
