Arrow keys or WASD to move. Please make sure you can hear the game since the sound is an important part of it. Also be sure to play through to the end, it's worth it.

1: Oh no, everyone hates me, they're all running away.
2: Yay, there are other people like me out there after all.
3: But they're all finding partners... with the people who don't like me and going off to live their lives.
Eventually: All my friends have left to go be with their partners and live in isolation. Guess I better get together with the last person left, even though at first they showed me nothing but scorn. <3
I liked it.
- Oooh.
- I HAVE A POSSE.
- CHASE THEM DOWN, LADS!
- Wait. Why are they pairing up!? MY POSSE, NOOOoo!
- Stringed instrument kicked in. Synthesized, or real? I cannot tell.
- The echo chamber/churchy effect is nice. Surprising how much that adds to something with such simple visuals.
- Ohh. The grey ones wave their arms to signal.
- Another layer of instrument added. I like it.
- Why are you afraid of me, little grey people? I am here to help! My posse means no harm!
- The sounds these little people make are adorable.
- There are yays all around.
- Another instrument! This excels.
- Aww. None in my posse will pair up with this little grey one. I'm sorry! I blame Ben!
- They all got paired up! WE SAVED THE LITTLE PEOPLE RACE!
Things I would change:
- I would only fix the compression on the title image. This is great otherwise.
Pretty interesting!
Good job :p
By far the most meaningful entry I've played... it's like the game version of a good poem.
In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
— Ezra Pound
Good job.
"yey" <3
It is very very relaxing, sounds great. A philosophical and unique experience.
Nice atmosphere, love the sounds "yay!"
While the game went on I pictured myself as some sort of a leader who made people hook up with eachother, and feared that there ironically would be noone left for me. :c
Luckily the ending was way better than that, good job! ~
5/5 overall!
I love how it starts off not being obvious what you're trying to do, but then it becomes pretty clear once people in your crowd start pairing off with others. Really a sweet little game.
I enjoyed herding the people who were not ready to be matched up XP
