You have to make people bald in order to save them

Always happy to help Bulk Bogan lol
It was pretty fun :) the fren hands holding the letter are funi
I hope you guys can iron out the bug with randomly being bugsted cause this could be fun as a properly working game, the poLice pun is funny and the beam mechanic is neat
You might also want to A) lock movement in the menus because right now you can still move around and in fact you can go ahead and bald people before hitting start, and B) also put an invisible wall at the top of the map cause you can go back up to the menu screens and press buttons which completely fucks up the camera lmao
Thank you for the advice and for trying out our submission!
We became aware of the litany of bugs almost a day or so after submission and due to personal time constraints, I wasn't able to code some bandaid solutions until today, haha. I have patched out some critical bugs (the northern barrier was turned off by mistake when testing something else, and the nightmare-ish bug where the music beam sounds and people + poLICE despawned synced into a jumpscare were among some of the most reported problems and hopefully fixed) but I'm not sure if I should include a couple of features due to trying to be "in the spirit" of the Jam. I've opted to remove the esc key crashing the game though because I have no idea why I coded the game to do that.
As for the menus, I think this new version will prevent players from messing with the camera again lol
Thank you again!

Glad to hear you managed to get round to fixing stuff, I'll give the game another go tomorrow and hopefully all of the gamebreaking stuff is gone lmao. Didn't even know the Esc key crashed the game, that's funny as hell
I really like the big beam mechanic! I think it's a great gameplay bit to work with. I do wish the lice spawns were telegraphed because they often just spawn on me and I lose, but I like the concept.
Our Artist (aredmarkerI) was the one who pitched the beam mechanic and we all thought it was really cool too! I do apologize for the strange "instant from nowhere" spawns on the poLICE. As the end of the Jam aproached, I think we reworked how the poLICE spawned about 3 times and I started slapping things together as fast as possible and forgot to play a noise or put a marker where they spawn on the map other than "in front of the poLICE StaSHUN".
The good thing is that the bug that made them spawn and then lost the game was patched out today. I do appreciate you playing our game and letting us know what you thought about it!
Thank you!

The beam mechanic really was awesome, I still am thinking about it. I wanna beam in more games, it's fun. Good stuff you guys.
I like the music alot! Tho there is a bug where you get busted randomly and there isn't a restart
Our Sound Designer, Lor1n, was the one who made the music at the direction of our Artist, aremarker, and I think the music came out wonderful!
As for there being no restart button, I do apologize for that! Personal time constraints unrelated to the Jam prevented me from funnelling as much time as possible into adding features this time around. I did, however, end up patching out a couple of bugs that caused people to instantly lose for no reason today and hope that helps alleviate the issues people were having, though still no restart button unfortunately. I didn't want to add stuff beyond the jam time limit so I opt's simply to fix the biggest issues instead.
We appreciate you taking the time to play our game and taking the time to let us know what you thought!

Game is kind of buggy no pun intended. I would get busted randomly for no reason and some times busted when going near the edge of the map.
sorry about that! Thanks for the heads up I'll let our programmer know!
lice, licey licey
I don't want to be bald

a
I got Busted, the screen shook, pushed a button and screen froze
Really interesting survivor take with people running away but poLice running toward you.
uh oh we might have to fix some bugs thanks for letting us know and glad you had fun!
Hello!
I believe it was this comment that alerted us that something was wrong after we submitted the game for the Jam! After aredmarker let me know what happened, I spent a couple of days trying to figure out what the heck happened between the build I had and our submission! Today, we pushed out an update that hopefully addressed the strange bug that cause both the sound to oscilate in a strange way many times a second while the screen shook forever while frozen.
Thank you for both playing our submission and letting us know that something was wrong!
