How does the game fit the theme?
You are climbing up a mountain. The Hike+ app will tell you about nearby hikers. If the hikers in front of you do not match their profile they cannot be trusted. Can you even trust the app?

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
None

How many people worked on the game?

Very creative! My only criticism would be the binocular closing the app, other than that, still a great submission!

Developer

Thank you! I had it close the app so you could see what you were looking at although I guess then you can't see what your looking for lol. I'll make it so the phone auto opens when you stop looking through the binoculars. Thanks for playing and leaving feedback!

Such a good concept xD

From now on I will never trust hikers with cameras. Never.

It’s a little tough to play without a mouse but overall, great entry!

Developer

Yeah they have the camera so they can take a picture as you fall off the mountain lol!

I didn't even think about playing without a mouse. I'll have to think of ways to make that easier. Thanks for the feedback and playing!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This game really made me feel on edge (pun intended)

Grabbing and throwing people off is really fun and the fact that they scream and then explode after is satisfying for some reason haha

Nice entry and keeping to the theme

Developer

Lol! Glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for playing! Appreciate your kind words.

I hope I never meet any of you in a mountain. I will not hold back. 

also, did you guys record the sounds yourselves? it made it even better. 

Developer

Noted. Next time I see you in the mountain I will be ready. Thank you for playing!

I recorded the sounds myself with a webcam and briefly edited them in Audacity. It was kind of funny doing it but I thought they came out pretty fitting for the game.

LOL I laughed when I can throw them away

Developer

Lol! Thanks for playing!

This is very fun! Very creative with the auto movement mechanic and the theme idea. The first few times I played I just got thrown, so later I threw every single person, trust NO one lol. Cool game!

Developer

It's safest when everyone gets thrown lol! Appreciate your kind words. Thank you for playin!

nothing beats going for a chill hike and throwing suspicious hikers off a cliff on a laid back Sunday afternoon.

Hilarious and creative game idea, enjoyed it a lot.

Developer

It has been my favorite activity of mine for years. Finally decided to do it in a game instead of real life...  ;) Thanks for playin!

You're mental, you know that? Lol. This is more fun than it has any right to be. Also, screw Garret! I die to Garret more than anything.

Developer

Appreciate it! Thank you for playing. And for all future hikes throw Garret on sight!

Trevor: "Okay guys, did you update your Hike+ account."

Rachel: "Yeah, whatever Dad."

(Unfortunately Rachel had forgotten her camera and brought her backpack instead)

She was never seen again...

Developer

Sometimes they have to learn the hard way... RIP Rachel :(  Thanks for playing!

FuN game, i thought the art fit the game very much, on my first run i got killed immediatly then i went on a killing spree till i turned the corner and got thrown off a cliff

Developer

Those corners are fatal sometimes! Glad you enjoyed it thanks for playing!

Fun and funny, pretty easy to get the hang of,  until normal a** caleb with nothing wrong grabbed me and threw me off the mountain, ending my spree.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I hate when Caleb does that... Appreciate you playing!

Very cool game.

Little sidenote for people playing on chrome. If it lags, you most likely have graphics acceleration turned off. It's under Settings > System.

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate the tip as well!

Submitted(+1)

This is brilliant :) Also, 10/10 accurate happens to me every time I hike

Developer

Thank you! It does happen quite often :)

Very cool game. The idea is very fun, but sometimes it can be very annoying to spot what hikers are holding, especially when walking in a line. But besides that the concept is fun, and the idea of using a phone as your UI is really cool.

If you have time, i would love if you'd check out my game too :D

Developer

Thanks! I will look into adding a left right stagger as they walk so the items are easier to see. Appreciate the feedback! I will check out your game as well!
