Had to play your other game after coming from your submission for GWJ #92. Took me a while to realize the mall cop was on a Segway... dying!
Hahahaa thank you so much!!! This really made my day!
very fun to play, nice job!
I LOVED every design aspect behind this one, definitely a game made for me among few others, you've got my thanks for the experience!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that :)
So good! This one is oozing with personality, the sfx specially were so much fun. The upgrades were really well made and all mechanics really well thought out! Awesome game, I loved it!
Thank you so much!!!
Awesome game, the artwork and polish are fantastic! I struggled to track all the teens and couldn’t pass the first level.
Starting with fewer teens or adding a tutorial level would really help ease players into the mechanics.
Yes we’d really like to go back and do a tutorial level first after the feedback. Thank you for playing and letting us know what you thought!
Not many things in life are able to give me as big of a dopamine rush as John Mallcop's signature guitar riff. The graphics and gameplay bring me back to the NES. The game manages to do a lot with as little visual feedback as possible, and in a game about keeping track of many different things at once I appreciate that a lot. Needless to say the sound design goes hard.
Also, the pop-up you get after catching someone is very much appreciated, I feel like I'm always pressing space on the wrong teen!
Thank you so much!!!
This game is awesome. I love the artwork and level of polish! I had a really hard time being able to keep track of all the teens and couldn't even pass the first level! I think starting out with only a few teens on the first level (or a tutorial level) to introduce the mechanic would be a really nice addition. Fantastic work, such a solid game!
Yes we really need to add a tutorial or a slower level at the beginning. Thank you so much!!!
LoL! Funny game and interesting concept. I played a dozen or more games and this is the first one you’re actually trying to catch the thieves instead of robbing.
A few things to check: The controls sometimes don’t work right away when using a joypad, maybe one or another component isn’t being focused. In the game over screen I can’t use the controller at all, only the mouse.
Original concept and fun gameplay! The audio complements the art style perfectly. My only complaint is that it was hard to interact with teens when standing too close to them, especially after drinking a lot of soda. Other than that, I had fun with this one.
Great work!
Had a fun time the SFx consufed me thought I was wrong at first but realized I was just dumb. Fun concept that I can see a fun mobile game.
The sound when you catch someone is soooooo satisfying. When my both guards and me get someone and it plays nearly at the same time I just get so happy. Perfect chosen sound.
Great art and driving around with the segway really enhances it.
Good job, I had fun! :D
Really cool game I like the concept and style. Also very funny that everyone is either stealing or does nothing. no one ever buys haha
Haha it's true! Everyone's shopping online nowadays :) thanks for playing!
it's really hard I haven't beaten the first level I wish there were more way's to see who stole, but good job
Great game! It’s difficult to see who tried to steal when there are a lot of people. My only problem was selecting the right kid near the entrance because there were a lot of people moving around. Congrats on the entry! :D
Nice game, really good idea and mechanics. I am just to blind to finish a level :(
Beautiful game - great work with the pixel perfect art and all the sound design to go with it. I couldn't keep track of everything going on and lost pretty quickly, but I was having fun learning!
Thank you!
Didn't know being a mall cop could be this cool haha
It was pretty hard at first but gets easier with upgrades. I really like the audio :)
Nice work!
Thanks! Yeah, it sounds like some people had some issues with the starting difficulty. That's definitely something I would have changed looking back.
Wow, we really made basically the same game! Great minds think alike? :B
Cool idea! I esp. love the art style
I played for a while in endless mode
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Very original idea, and very catchy gameplay. The audio and music are peak and the art style makes me think of Habbo Hotel. One thing, related to controls that I had a problem, is that sometimes when the guard is in the same position of the teen its hard to interact (It got me going up and down trying to make to interaction pop up appear).
Got it, thanks for the feedback!
