When you export from Godot, and you click "Export Project" and it asks you for a place to save, untick the "Debug Mode" checkbox at the bottom of the dialog. Then you will get an exe that is not in debug mode. You also have the option to embed the PCK so you only get one exe and not 2 files.

Anyway, the game was pretty interesting. I liked how curious kid came to you, and the others ran away. However, for the ones that run - they are a bit hard to direct and tend to get stuck in corners. 

Developer

Thank you for the advice! I'll try to do better next time.

I think the game would be more fun if the dog had more precise controls, there’s a little bit of an ice-skating rink feeling as you try to corral those annoying kids =P

Developer

Thank you for playing. Yeah, you're right. My only excuse is that finding controls that feel great is hard.

Thank you for your interest. Please make sure that OutOfControl.pck is in the same directory as the executable file.
