I really appreciated the AI that you'd created - I could see the rioters all bunching together as a big group, the other people circling them as if to watch the riot, some other people dotted about just talking or... jumping ecstatically... even a little store with people looking at. You had a great atmosphere, just a shame you didn't manage to get the gameplay in there. Keep working on it, it seems like a novel idea. :)"},{"author_name":"zompi","author_uid":"18112","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 8:51pm","epoch":1355863560,"text":"Crowd like in assassins creed :D Very funny animation but...

Select weapon with 1, 2, 3 keys. Best is to play fullscreen. The mouse controls need a captured mouse cursor to work properly. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, it's not about shooting right away.\r<br\/>You're supposed to be a undercover \/ thug working for the police. The real villain. You need to infiltrate \/ fire up the crowd so that the police can justify their arrests and get rid of the demonstration.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Unfortunately, there is no negative effect to shooting too early right now."},{"author_name":"ahmedcab","author_uid":"16381","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 9:25pm","epoch":1355865600,"text":"very cool game, and nice mechanics."},{"author_name":"NeverAutomatic","author_uid":"18283","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1355866200,"text":"I still had more fun just messing around with this than playing some of the &quot;finished&quot; entries.
