Awesome game! :) My favorite that I've played so far.

The art was really good, especially the special effects.

I loved the small touches that your eyes turning red when you started killing people.

I did the good ending first, and would have liked to see how many people were left alive from what I started with. May have made me play again to try and beat that.

Then I did the bad ending which was lot's of fun. I had to do it after I saw at the end that it was an option.

Really awesome work!

**This is my favorite game so far!**

I totally love the art and the sound-effects!
The transitions in the beginning feels so smooth.
I mostly find this game very enjoyable because of the aesthetics and the mood!

**Overall** I had an amazing time playing this game. I’m very impressed!
Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future!
Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Amazing game. I loved every second of it. And the choice between good and evil was cool.

Wow, this is the best game I've played so far. I really have almost no idea how to make it better, as it's a complete mini game.

The only thing I would suggest is maybe put people in the houses at the border of the map to avoid the most obvious tactic of killing no people (go to the nearest border). :)

Keep moving forward.

Dude, this game was awesome! I found it through itch.io :)

The entire concept is super original and humorous, and the gameplay and music are intense! Love the art style too, and the way you click through the intro at the start.

Very impressive, especially since you made it by yourself and it was for compo!

5/5 would avoid electrocuting people to death again

Funny game. First i tried not to kill everybody. In the second try i wanted to know what happens when i kill everybody. It was fun. Great job. I also liked the animations of the characters.

Great entry! Had more fun killing everyone, so it was nice to be rewarded with an ending for that :)

This game was super fun, I loved the art and all the effects that make it feel chaotic. It's an impressively original idea, especially in 48 hours.

I think this may be the best use of theme I've seen. Clever, funny, and fun. Excellent game!

This game was really fun, it's really clever with the use of the theme, the audio here was nice, the graphics were really nice they really gave this game a lot of personality. The game had a lot of attention to detail and it shows, it was really nice to have 2 endings for the ways that the player wanted to play.

If I had to give some criticism it would be that the bullets should be a little more powerful as they really aren't too useful. If you don't want to kill anybody the shots almost do nothing so they can be ignored, and if you want to kill everybody, it's better to just run straight to them instead of shooting them. As how they are the bullets don't add anything to the game.

Great job with this entry.

Awesome game! Fun as hell! And I cannot see someone getting the good ending since it is the ultimate goal of a machine to kill all the puny humans!
Loved the intro and the pixel art style. Everything just matched!
I hope you continue to work on this game afterwards.

Why didn't they listen to me! Oh, the madness, the chaos, the horror! So I had to go back and make them listen....muahaahahaha! That was very fun! Music and sound blended together, the avatar has character, and the gameplay was smooth. Great work!

This was an awesome game, and I really loved the "do not kill" aspect that made it so much more challenging.

Fantastic across the board; smooth controls, great use of theme, hilarious premise, good audio/graphics. I love the multiple endings :P

Nothing but praise for this game, especially as a compo. The 'don't kill anyone' objective was a fun inversion and the multiple endings were great. This is the first game I've seen where I can honestly say you should work on this more after the jam. New levels with obstacles to both paths would be super fun.

This game is great, it grants you great and uncontrollable power and tell you not to kill people with it.

The story board is simple but convey the ideas well. it feels intense seeing people running away while you shouting 'I don't want to kill anybody'.

And it features double endings, it would be much better if there's a boss fight, maybe against self.

Nice game concept, good implementation.

Awesome entry! Very polished in every aspect. I turned to the dark side on my first playthrough, there were just no turning back after a certain point >:D.

Very nice. I wouldn't mind a slightly bigger line of sight but it was a really funny and innovative game. Good job.

Such a fun game, liked how simple it was but how well executed it all was brought together. The art worked well in presenting the story and the use of the theme was nice and different. Liked that you had to try and not kill anyone instead of the usual. Also was addictive and short enough that it kept me playing till I'd completed with a good ending.
