I liked the concept. Ican't wait to see a more polished version.
The only problem is that it is difficult to distinguish the ones you can shoot an the others.
Haha thanks, we're looking forward to improve and the fact that is hard to distinguish some people that you can shoot and some people that you can't shoot is being fixed in another version :^)
I thought this was a unique take on the idea, and I also liked the aesthetics :) Nice job
Looks and controls nicely; I often found myself lost though - there's certainly more to it than RNG but it felt like that was the 'out of control' part, which RNG always is. Might be something to do with not having strong reactions in the game, you're 'winning' you shoot someone, bar goes down, do it again, screen goes dark, "oh I lost". There's a nice opportunity to have some chaotic reaction from the people you shoot or some stronger feedback - either way it's an interesting interpretation that can certainly be further explored!
I really like the aesthetic of this game! The core game mechanic is really cool as well and definitely could be expanded upon on a post-jam version!
This game has a really cool concept! I like the more randomized element of who you can control and who you can't, and it's got a fun look! Good job.
I really liked the concept of winning people over to your side and feel like that could definitely be expanded upon. It did feel a bit like I had no idea if someone would be able to be assimilated or not and it made me feel like I didn't really have a choice as a player.
Amazing :)
Cool title :D
Nice game and visuals! It wasn't always clear to me based on what you can "assimilate" someone -- in later game you can easily lose with one bad coin flip, since the score of the person is high and you lose the rep. Esüecially liked the old-screen shader ;)
Well done for making a game, and I believe you made this in Godot? Which I always like. The way I thought this game would work is by getting more characters, it would make it easier to get more characters, does that make sense?
Good game! :)
Super impressed with the game. Maybe you can do some work on making the players decisions have a bit more impact on the game/situation.
Good job on the whole :)
Btw check out my game and tell me your views yeah? :)

Cute little game, really like the art and music!
Tho at first I didn't really know what I needed to do, but after a bit (and reading the dialogue XD) I got it and it was kinda fun!
But overall really nice game, well done!
Haha, thanks! i did the art :^D
I was confused. I mean I wasn't making any meaningful decision.
loved the presentation btw :)
Cool idea and concept, well executed but felt more rng than skill and could this be exploited with just holding a certain amount of people and standing still just watching your points go up? Clever way of fitting the theme though and definitely original, good luck! :D
Thanks! You too :^D
Im not the biggest fan of the gameplay here. The only danger of playing is just you might get a chance of not being able to control someone, and if you dont shoot them a second time fast enough, you're screwed. It seems that's the only challenge and I honestly dont see too much point to it. The idea of controlling people is cool (though why do you shoot them for it) but you need to figure out another way to draw out challenge. The art and audio is nice though, so nice job on that. Could be nice to have the tutorial text not wrap around as it makes it a bit hard to read.
Haha, i agree with ya bud, also the shooting thing is because, since you have a brain wash gun, you need to shoot them to get in control, also, i did the art :D
i feel like it should have a better tutorial.
i like the game style and the idea
Love the presentation and the idea overall! A bit more explanation at the start would have been nice, but that is all.
I didn't really understand the mechanic to control people if I'm being honest. I thought the number above people was related to my score and that it had to be above their number for me to control them. I think making it clearer about what the player can do and who they can influence would make for a better experience however I still liked the core concept as it has some potential in there.
Interesting concept, but I think it depends too much on luck. Also it would be nice to know what the odds are. The art and especially the music is very nice. Overall very good game jam game.
Nice game but I felt like it is too random that it became frustrating. Nice music (I am mentioning it because you created it during the jam)
