Lil' Justin's Fame Escape by spierek

You're Justin Famous - an up-and-coming teen pop idol - and you need to get to your next gig in time... but the town is swarming with fans that will try and to anything to make that perfect selfie with you, even if it means that you won't make it in time.
Avoid fans' gaze, try to lose them by diving into crowds, throw them a pile of autographs to distract them as last resort, and make sure you're not late to the concert!

Great use of theme and humor :)
Laughed at the singing when I arrived at the concert.
Could do with some new mechanics introduced as the levels progress. Maybe different types of fans. Appreciate the limits of a game jam.
Very impressive and stylish.
I loved the concept of the game and the graphics was nicely done. Was easy to tell the difference between fans and normal people.
The audio was cool too. I will have those high pitched voices stuck in my head for the rest of the day :P
Played really well
Also how did you manage the AI so they avoid each other instead of running into each other?
The sound effects/voice acting was rather well done and really funny to listen to.
I enjoyed the couple of minutes I played the game for, and I understand the hard work needed to create something like this!. :smiley: Our team also worked hard to create a game for the jam. You can check it out [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/jazzy-beats)! :whale:

oh man this was a good one
My high score is 39 - and I'm one of the creators :P
@sharks - Yeah, team Effort - 4 guys core + support of friends :)
@wakka2 - The game is endless but it's constantly harder so I won't be surprised if there is a level that you simply cannot beat :)
@robinhoodpt - Thank you for your detailed feedback - we really like your game and we were discussing it before your post - good work! :)
[My record](https://image.ibb.co/h3cjub/Screenshot_2.png)

So, one thing was just having fans tagging around and ruining the idol's day, but another was implementing stealth mechanics, like lines of sight and the rockstar-but-not-really equivalent of a smoke bomb, which doubles as a hilarious node to the world of the famous.
The game by itself is cute and fun to play with, but the sounds really made up the experience for me. The quirky voices of the fans going all over the place saying OH EM GEE and the like? Just perfect.
Astounding display there. In behalf of my team, we hope that you get more stuff on the way in the future. We'd like to check that out as well. Kudos! :whale:
cool sound!
but things change fast. We start with a stealth game, but after 10 concerts it becomes more an action game (and in my opinion, it's less interesting)...
Also, there are some little streets between buildings where we can't run, and that's a shame..
would be cool to see different types of fans who slow you down in different ways
great job to your team
