If you collect BAD DATA the controls become unstable. Also a few NOT SUBTLE hints about surveillance and stability.

Really polished and a great concept, good game!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Very interesting concept. Even though there seems to be some bugs, the game is visually very pleasing and it seemed to work fine for me, it felt very polished and I really enjoyed playing it! Got 9750 GB at the end.
Oh was there a particular bug you encountered? Thanks for coming by to play the game. I appreciate the kind words!
I was refering to the ones you put on the game page. To me they didn't really affect gameplay
No worries, just checking! thanks again!
Cool concept,
Ha, thanks for playing. I was trying to make it as simple but enjoyable as possible.
Very polished and fun! Graphics are really nice, music and sound design work well, feedbacks are good, it really feels "finished"! For me, the main thing that could be improved is the movement, which feels a bit too fast and can make it hard to control sometimes, which can be a little frustrating.
Very good job!
haha, thank you so much for the feedback! I genuinely laughed about the control comment because I totally agree (even if it's by design) but I literally almost smashed my keyboard on level 3 of YOUR game from blowing up too many times:) But truly I genuinely enjoyed yours and have recommended it to a few people! Thanks again for stopping by to play and comment!
Very engaging! My strategy was to just try and avoid bad data rather than chasing good data, as I found that good data just walks into you often enough
Ha, yes it does. And "easiest" way to get a true "high-score" is to pretty much exclusively go after the Person of Interest data NONSTOP. Thanks for playing!
I'm not sure if the text issue is still relevant, but I played on Mozilla and didn't experience it, so maybe it has already been fixed or depends on the browser version?
Anyway, the gameplay is really interesting! I just got a C because the movement felt a bit too slippery for me hahah.
It was still really fun to play though, nice job!
Ah, thanks for the feedback! And yeaaaah it can definitely be a bit too slippery but I was really going for a loose feel to add to chaotic nature of it all:) I appreciate you playing, thanks again.
Sure without the slippery movement, the game would be less chaotic and probably too easy, which would make it a bit bland. So I guess it's actually a good thing! I wasn't complaining because It's not game mechanics problem, just human mechanics problem.. To put it another way I'm just bad at it hahah :p
Haha, no I understand. One of the bits I wished I could've squeezed in was a quick restart button because "I" definitely wanted one for every time I also slammed into too much bad data on a run:)
It's weirdly addictive and really fun. I think it's one of the surprise candidates for winners! And you need teach me how the fridge you did this game in 3 days? Really it's like some of the challenging youtube videos. respect o7
Haha, thanks so much for the generous comments! I think one of the ways I was able to do this in just a few days was because I used a visual scripting system that I've had plenty of experience with:) I'm very glad you found it weirdly addictive and fun.
(Oh, and your game was great! I don't usually play games without web builds but I was intrigued)
Thx! I hope to see you in other jams🖐️
Extremely good for only 3 days!! Love this take on the theme! This is probably the best representation of the theme i have seen. Brilliant game! [rated]
Rate my game?
haha, thanks! I tried my best to think of a mechanic that I could implement in a short period of time that would work for the theme! Thanks for playing and I appreciate the kind words.
Such a unique idea! And it's well implemented and well polished, great work!
I really struggled at first to think of a good mechanic for the theme! Thanks for your kind words.
pretty cool concept! I like the art style and it's very polished. Enjoyed it a lot!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you leaving the feedback!
Such a great idea! Beautifully polished. The sound design is great, music is a vibe. I enjoyed that even when I hate like 4 bad data at once (on accident, I swear) it didn't feel bad. It was trippy and cool to figure out it went in reverse. Also nice addition of leader board. Fun idea.
Figuring out how to make the controls last JUST enough to not be too annoying was a fun challenge in itself:) Glad you had a good time and thanks for all the feedback!
Very polished and stylish highscore game, with a fun theme and many neat little details (e.g. the footprints as spawn indicators). I also think the reverse control "penalty" fits the jam theme really well. Great work!
Aw, thanks for coming by to comment and I really appreciate all the kind words. I wish I would've had more time to add things and tweak some stuff but I'm rather glad how it turned out!
The wonky controls when I caught the wrong persons of interest threw me for a loop! This was a fun, cohesive game to play. It reminds me of Find Mii from Wii Play, but far more chaotic.
Ha, thanks! And yes, I actually think in the back of my head I was thinking of the NDS version of "Wanted" which I believe is one of predecessors to Find Mii.
If I were to change one thing in the game it would be just making the wasd keys control the ui as well, not just the arrows. Other than that, it's a really fun fast paced game. Keep up the good work.
oh wow thanks! That IS a bug. I meant to add that annnnnd slipped my mind before release! I actually added WASD like very last minute. Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
I liked the design and gameplay of the game you submitted. However, I might have found a bug that would make my job easier :D When I move endlessly from right to left, I definitely don’t die. (Rated)
Oh, it isn't a bug! I mean, there is no "fail state" where you can actually "die". You only lose data (points) if you hit the BAD DATA. The whole goal is a to get a high-score so endlessly moving left to right WOULDN'T allow that since the HIGH-SCORE requires capturing many of the PERSON OF INTEREST data. Thanks for playing though and appreciate the comment!
Honestly, my score had dropped quite a bit, but somehow I managed to complete it every time. I'm on the list anyway. You can be sure I played :d
Ha, I understand. I'm just saying there is no way "NOT" to complete it. You'll always complete it. So it's just get a high-score OR get zero data (since bad data can only take you to zero at the lowest). And no worries, I always believed you played!
Cool fast-paced game, fits the theme so well!
Also, the art and UI are fantastic. (I'm a noob who only got 14500 GB...)
Ha, thanks! I'm you felt it fit the theme! And yeaaaah it can be a bit hard to get a highscore BUT its the journey (and surveillance) that matters!
At first I didn't like how fast I was zooming around but once I got in the zone I was loving it. The controls being unstable was great as well, reversing controls always tickles my brain hahaha. Awesome job!
Oh glad you finally came around to loving the speed! I tinkered with it a bit to try and make it slippery but still allow you to have a decent sense of control. I really appreciate you playing and thanks for the feedback/comments!
Really fun, just zooming around and eating people just feels great. Incredible work!
thank you, thank you! I tried to make the zooming around part as enjoyable as possible! Happy Surveillance:)
edit: after quite some trying I only got second place, sorry for messying the leaderboard!
Thanks for the feedback and comments! I actually DID have a way to speedup/skip the text AND quick restart in the level but there was a bug that kept making the text invisible ANNNND messing with some of the variables sooooo I decided to cut that out before the jam deadline instead of beating my head against a wall:) I 1000% also agree about the leaderboard UI but the wonderful overlords at gdevelop require you to "pay" for the ability to edit the leaderboard appearance. Thanks again for playing and all the genuine kind words!
