Mall Cop by CMahaff

made by CMahaff for LD27 (COMPO)

My first Ludum Dare entry. The code is awful. But I did it with time to spare.

Basic idea of the game is to memorize who you are looking for (in 10 seconds) and detain them. More AIs are added over time, and more people to memorize. Some AIs will flee, so you have to use your 'taser'. All the specifics are explained in-game.

Sorry I can't have a live version available to play, but I don't have time/money to setup a personal host tonight.

Note: Does 'require' internet to download the font from Google.

Note 2: Tested in Chrome, but should work in any HTML5 canvas supported browser.

Neat game! I was a little tired while playing this, so I didn't do well! But I liked it. Here's your ticket!

Send an email with proper package (I cannot find index.html in this one) to rezoner1337[at]gmail.com and I will host that one for you.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the hosting offer, but it's ok. I will try and set one up tonight. Hosting a live version definitely does make more people play it after all.

Thanks for the rating GrimGary! Will play your game when I have access to my Windows machine again.

Not bad, not bad. I especially like the "-redacted-" comment one of my innocent detainees gave me.

Tried it in firefox, opera and chrome and it only worked in chrome for me.

That's very odd. It works in Firefox and Chrome for me, should in Opera as well. It even ran in IE. Are you maybe using outdated versions of those browsers?

My version of firefox is quite outdated but opera is the latest version. Also it is only the third screen that doesn't work. It gets all white.

I mean the fourth screen. The one that should have lots of people in it.

Great game! Simple but nonetheless challenging. And a great memory exercise, too. Well done!

The difficulty does go up a bit fast, I definitely wasn't ready for two suspects after just three levels.

Congratulations on a successful first LD entry! :D

This is a fun game and very challenging. It gets really hard when you have to remember multiple different characters. I liked it a lot!

I would be a bad mall cop. Very good use of theme, and lots of humor thrown in, good job!
