Thanks!
Interesting, There should be a bit more explanation though. What do the scores above peoples heads mean? How does the gun work? I kept thinking of the old game Syndicate, which would be basically this meets x-com and you could mind control enemies and civilians. It's an interesting concept, but I would be intrigued to see what you can build with the mechanic.
Cool idea! Maybe too luck-dependent
Nice aesthetic, I managed to break out of the level though and get stuck in the green void beyond the tiles :(. I like the idea, maybe let people know what the odds are of influencing a given character?
I feel like theres an interesting concept in there, but I can't find a very compelling game loop unfortunately. Sometimes whether or not you control people feels totally random and out of my control (not in a good, themey-way). Art and music were fun though!
I like it but wish things were explained bette
cool concept for a game, and great tunes!
I liked the idea. More levels perhaps? Music and effects were well put through.
Rated! I like the idea, though I think the main mechanic can be explained better, as I thought the chances of controlling someone were totally random. The presentation was nice, and I liked the music / artstyle!
I liked the concept, would be nice to have a bit better explanation of the controlling mechanic in the game. Given a couple tweaks and some polish, this has a lot of potential! Good work!
Nice graphics and music! I didn't really understand the controlling mechanic, is it just luck based? I had a full reputation but still failed and started to lose rep. Anyway, it's a kinda weird but fun idea :)
Thanks for the feedback! higher scored people have a 60% chance of getting caught with max rep and 10-20% chance of getting caught with near 0 rep. while smaller ones usually have a 70-80% chance with max rep. because of chances, its easy to lose control if you know what im saying XD
Interesting concept, I liked the VCR effect, nice work!
Interesting game! The random chance made it a little bit frustrating at times, but I did manage to get past 1200 points!
Pretty fun game, though Im not sure what determines the fact that you will control the characters, I got like 10 people, then I shot 1 3 times and failed, because he refused to be controlled. Fun game overall, great job :)
Cool game concept and the game is really pleasant to look at and the sound is great too! I wish there was a bit more depth to the mechanics since as far as I understand while there is a lower/higher chance based on a person's score value, it ultimately still comes down to RNG. If there was more to this control process or if your crew of people did something somehow the game would be a lot more interesting!
This is a very clever idea that fits the theme nicely. Also the graphics are pretty good. Good job!
The game's idea is original and well polished, and I love the old TV effect. The only thing I'm concerning is the chances to fail controlling a person. Is it random or based on the score you've get?
Fun little game! I love how you also created all the art and sounds. It is nicely executed and makes everything fit nicely together. The screen filter also is a nice addition and adds to the atmosphere of the game. I share some of the feedback from other comments, some more depth in the gameplay would be nice, maybe some interesting stuff to add later on. But overall, great work, It kept me replaying quite some times!
Great concept! Would've been cool to do something with the people I controll tho
I also would have liked to do more with the people I controlled... Overall though... good job :)
