Great game. Nice background, textures, and shooting audio. The cops would glitch out and get stuck on walls, and i could seem to kill the other things. Nice idea with a start menu and pause menu most games dont have those.

Nice entry for your first jam! I liked the menus, but the other "things" didn't seem to die from the bullets, or else they had a ton of health. The bullets just went right through them.

Haven't seen too many games based on mazes, this was a nice surprise
Enjoyed the game, keep up the great work!

I personally would've preferred it if the mouse also controlled aiming, since clicking shoots the gun.
Other than that the game was pretty fun. Nice job!

Lovely first entry, welcome to the community. The game plays well, has defined goals, and a good pace. Unlike modern games yours actually makes me want to be a cop and not a bad guy, with them always dodging every shot! Really looking forward to hearing of your next entries.

Congrats on your first game. Pretty well done.
Adding a separate animation for the legs of the characters (bellow them to give depth) would add more fluidity to their animation and help characterize more the avatar and the enemies. Adding a darker border line to the maze walls would help to differentiate them from the ground.
Telling the controls on the start menu or on the description would help too :) .

Pretty good, I liked the idea and everything worked well enough. No real challenge, but as far as concept goes, fairly solid.

Nice game, just keep in mind giving feedback to the player is very important. I wasn`t sure if I was even able to harm the things at the start.

Congrats on the first game! It didn't seem like the bullets actually do anything?

More game features could make this unique. Good demonstration of programming nonetheless if this is a beginner's entry. Hope you guys continue to make games in the Jam!

fun game :)
well done guys

there are some obvious things to improve, but that's true for all entries (48/72 hours aren't that long after all), but this is nicely done, especially for a first entry

looking forward to your work next LD

Whoa! Nice splash and title screen! :P

The graphics are nice, but I'd make the maze a bit more colorblind-friendly, you never know when you're gonna have a colorblind player. ;) But it's nice the way you built and designed the maze. :D

Playing the first version I couldn't kill anybody, only on the updated version.

Nice work on SFX and soundtrack also.

It's nicely done for your first time, so keep it up! :D

Cheers!

(rating Original) Nice infrastructure. Couldn't kill anything, but would have otherwise seemed really decent.

This is a good first game :) I like the way the cops move - they don't move predictably straight towards you, and they give you some space, but if you run away they charge after you!
The updated version is much better, I'm glad you're motivated to keep working on it after the competition!
