That was cute. Fairly simple little game, with a bit of a message. Good job.

Nice game idea. The audio was a bit annoying.

Good message to deliver. Audio is quite annoying, but so are bankers, so I guess it's fitting? Would be interesting if the workers had less linear paths to follow.

A very simple idea finished, and well executed. Tax collectors are evil, and the game was fun.

Interesting, I follow other on SFX, pretty annoying.

nice game.

I in contrast to some other comments above loved the audio. It made the game fun :D

This isn't really a "game". It doesn't have a challenge if you are careful and there's no real sense of achievement.

Did you create the graphics yourself? Whilst very nice they don't really fit the theme which makes me wonder if they were made for the game or whether you made them and then put them into the game regardless of idea XD

The audio is annoying but kinda funny. Not a bad job overall I guess.

Simple and fun! Really nice tutorial at start, lot of LD entries are very hard to figure out and start playing.

A mouse control here would improve gameplay, nice work anyway, congrats.

I gladly disregarded the suggestion to turn off the sound. It was too funny xD This is a cute game, and bad propaganda, which makes it even funnier.

I did not realized I could not use some free CC pictures.
I switched it into color squares.

it needs polishing, but it's a good idea

Moar, take eet, monee, moar! That was hilarious. The concept isn't bad and it was executed pretty well.

Love the idea, just needed some more polish in the graphics/audio department.

Though it lacks polish, the gameplay was pretty fun! Dodging activists while collecting money was just the right amount of challenge :D

There's definitely the strong beginnings of something here. I liked the timing aspect, getting big herd and a nice fat collection.

Great mechanics. Love the idea of a guy becoming the enemy. Like the audio and voice over. That takes courage.

Pretty cool , i like the tutorial ... it could be very good with enhanced gfx.

Interesting game, interesting topic that suits the theme. Maybe a timer would make it more challenging. After all, banisters always work on the short term, don't they ?

The tutorial wasn't necessary because the game is simple to understand, but I loved this attention and it's very well made.

I like the metaphor behind the game.

Maybe the Occupy protesters should stay still and expand, or convert other people, rather than bounce all over the place. Nice voice-over. Graphics leave something to be desired.

Excellent idea :) What is more evil than bankers who rule us in our well so called democracy ?

Smiple, didn't mind the audio. I liked that the people slowed after you got all their money.

Good: Fun game, I liked that you could take money from more then one worker at the same time. This added a nice strategic twist =)
Improve: Graphics =)
