The window is huge - it does not fit my monitor in windowed mode. I guessed right, though - hitting Alt+Enter made it full screen.

A little music or sound effects would do wonders to your overall feel. The graphics are cool and you can interpret the scene very easily. They lool so polished that the absense of sound is especially noticeable.

The graphics are really good, they look awesome and are very consistent. The background, health bar and people all go along very well, great job!

I find it funny that I hit every obstacle but the people walk through walls and cars like Corona-zombies :-) You could have given them a fixed path to walk on, that should not have cost too much time actually.

I see that you put a lot of effort into the graphics and they are really cool. But next time consider balancing all aspects of your game more equally. I found that using sfxr and BoscaCeoil worked wonders for me. I never thought I would be able to create good background music myself but BoscaCeoil makes it so easy, it's amazing.

The game could have been a little longer, but then again, you have some unique drawings in every scene and that is really good. I think you actually have the right length for the game. It does not get repetitive and levels are all unique. The time constraint did not hurt you in this case I feel.

Overall a really cool game, keep up the great work! :-)

Great game on the current situation, a lot fun.
It's sad that people could pass over obstacles and not you.

Thanks for your game !

Really cool and fun game to play in these obscure times.
A fun way to tell everyone to :mega:GO HOME:mega: !
too bad for the lack of sounds and too few levels to me..
Difficulty is great :D

There are some nice ideas here, and lots you could add to it! Makes me excited just thinking about it.

One comment I have is that there seems to be a dominant strategy in the levels, meaning there's really only one path you can follow to make sure you yell at everyone in time. Other than that though, nice work!

Was fun running around yelling at people hehe, would been nice with a nice yell sound effect.

Game has a simple concept, and works well.

I wish I could do this in real life! Solid game. Some sound would really push it to the next level!
