Trippin' The Crowd by qdowngames

[raw]
made by qdowngames for LD26 (COMPO)
A simple concept with minimalistic controls.

As an undercover operative, you are in charge of eradicating the crime threat that ravages your city... the problem is who is the target? Only you can see when a citizen is an undercover officer (blue), a general citizen (black) or an enemy to kill (red); Planting your mines is about timing - a mistake could cost you!

I tried a different concept to a game; instead of play and stop, the game continues to run as a "simulator", and during the simulation you try get your best score.

I like it. simple yet, difficult to master. boils the risk,restrictions and act of anti-crime action down to a pretty minimal core.

I like the lack of game over state in this.

Simple, one button control, and fun. Nice work.

Nice presentation, but there wasn't a huge incentive not to blow up general citizens in order to kill an enemy. There also wasn't a lot to do when no enemies were on screen.

The look and feel of the game are pretty awesome. Simple concept executed well.

It was hard at times to predict which person would blow up when they were close together.

I didn't hear any sound.

Nice "one button" game! I love the scoring system and how it incorporates simplified versions of ideas like calculated and acceptable losses.

Got long stretches where I just got the black stick figures, but it certainly fits the theme.

Love the graphics, that wobbly walk is charming!

Maybe it could have used a bit more speed. Anyhow, loving the graphics.

Very simple, but more challenging than I thought it would be.

I didn't get any audio. Was there any? I like the simplicity of the construction. It would have been easy to overdo the gameplay. I think you got the balance right there.

Nice job. I like the way it works, just wish it ramped up a bit after you have some success.

You have a minimalistic game, not a simple-graphic-mmo-AI thing. Love it.

This game was really fun to play! A nice, simple concept that seemed easy at first but on some occasions would be quite challenging made this game well worth playing.

You have my same problem lol preventDefault!! =P
But yeah, I like your style. A bit repetitive but I like it

Took me a while to work out why I wasnt getting a score but after that it was pretty good. I like the sense of depth the shadows give

It started fun, but I didn't know what more to after a while.

Great game, but not particularly long-lived.

Interesting and fun little game. No sound or was it just me? Would benefit from a sound track or sfx. Also had long stretches with only black characters. Enjoyed the game and found the graphics and animation fun

I loved this. Managed to get up to 157 before blowing up another cop and realizing I really should go study for my exams xD. Great game though, very simple and addicting. Sound sound would have been great though.

Interesting but sometimes you can't do anything about it and you have to hit a innocent person.
