Awesome job! I loved the mood that was set at the beginning of the game with all of the shoppers freaking out in front of the store. Fun and well done.

This is really well done! The way things totally break loose in the store feels like Hotline Miami and the game play is pretty twitchy (Which is good). It's difficult but I managed to get a few items out before dying.

Never could get more than three items :P Damn security guards, after me for innocently throwing knives at bystanders.

But that was fantastic, the mood you set up was awesome, and I just found it hilariously fun! :)

Had a minor problem with my fellow law-abiding customers blocking the door and preventing my lawful shopping experience. But I reacted rationally by forcing my way through to the store then throwing things at them until they cleared out. Love the gameplay, just like the first GTA (which I assume is your inspiration for it). Awesome job.

Jesus that intensity went from a 2 to an 11 in no time O.O
Loved the art!

Interesting, funny game. Was fun to play, although still kinda confusing, an in-game tutorial would help, but I understand that's always hard during these Jams. I figured it out, and had a good time.

Great game, graphically reminds me of GTA.

That was hilarious! Gave me pleasant memories of Postal :) You did a great job of setting up the scene and making everything go haywire. Great job!

While I find this game extremely hard, it is also incredibly fun! The music choice was great and everything in the game fit its theme and mechanics very well.

This game was a blast!

You did a great job of setting up that moment when the action starts.

Sounds fit perfectly, even if they weren't your creation. The game was hilarious! A note; you can steal items by going around and grabbing them through the wall of the shop. All in all great job!

Wow, once I got to the doors and saw the swarm of all those people, I knew all hell was about to break loose. And boy did the game not disappoint. Great work.

Absolutely hilarious, saw it on Taunia_sabanski's twitch stream and had to check it out. Controls are a bit unclear at first, but the sheer thrill and absurdity make this a masterpiece given you only had 72 hours. Kudos. -Evan/Solidplasma of Impossibleleaf

Great use of the theme.
You've conveyed the Black Friday madness really well.
I'm using a MacBook with a track pad so it's a little tricky to pick up and throw. I would have had the option for keyboard keys for picking/throwing.
The screen shake while the madness is happening is a bit over jarring, but I understand why you did it. Perhaps screen shake for every hit/kill
Good use of an upbeat rocking soundtrack after the serene walk up through the carpark.

It was hard to tell what items I picked up at times. Funny game though! :D

One of the best openings I've seen for an entry yet. Pretty hard to keep track of which items you needed while managing to stay alive, but a clever entry overall

Really fun to play. Can't say I had the skill to finish a round though.
