The spotlight effect is neat, I like how the red person just looks like all the others in the dark. Wish I was good enough to clear the screen of all the people.

The red person running the same speed as the player makes catching them very difficult.  I don't think they have ai, but they sure do love to turn and run from me.

Sorry, you can't clear the screen: when you catch the red guy, it's not removed but its position is randomized instead. Don't ask me why I took this approach, I suppose it made sense at that moment.

Tip: you can move faster than the red guy when moving in diagonal due to 8-way movement not being perfect. They all move in a straight line but take a new random heading after a random distance or at screen bounds. So there's no real AI. I was amazed to see that a similar logic worked so well in another entry.

There are so many that I didn't notice that it was randomized. Lucky I didn't try to clear the screen for that long then. I noticed the diagonal, but it was hard to get them to run in a direction where that was useful.
