Really good game, I enjoyed playing it and looping a bunch of times! Legend has it that the prisoner will escape the cop one day...

Keep up the good work!

Nice visuals, but imo not the best use of the theme. Still a great game though! Well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing and feedback!

love the graphics and the atmosphere! cool idea and well exectued, i only wish for a more tuned difficulty curve as it seemed to suddenyl spike then stop getting harder (but game jam so understandable) and some of the hitboxes were a bit jank. otherwise well deserving of a high rating! 

if you have the time i'd really appreciate some feedback on my game too, its my first game jam and im trying to get better! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3780834

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the king words!

 Yeah, it was challenging to make a good difficulty curve, because of the random obstacle placement, so you can just get very unlucky. Although, I don't know what you mean by "it stops getting harder", there should be more obstacles every loop, maybe it was a bug?

Of course I will check your game, I play the games of all my commenters :)

very nice concept :D idk why it make me think about ultimate chicken horse.

i thougt the policeman would accelerate on each level, but it was a very good idea to add mor obstacle instead !!

goodjob overall :D

Developer

Thank you for checking out my game, and for the kind words. You won't believe it, but initially I actually was planning to make  something like the ultimate chicken horse, where you would place obstacles to slow down the policeman, but later changed the idea. It's funny that you thought about it :)

Really cool concept! I wish there was a bit more variation on replays, but game jams are short so I understand! Also some audio would be cool :)

Nice work! I'd like to see this game more fleshed out + I liked the artwork!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! Yeah, more variation and also upgrades were planned, but unfortunately didn't have enough time

Cool concept - I think of the dinosaur game, but with a little bit of disorientation thrown in for good measure!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game!

Neat little game but really short. Could have used some sound.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah.. I didn't really had much time these 4 days, so I'm glad I even finished it somehow
