Nimble by Lynx
Dash through the suburbs, city, and out-lands in search for a tasty treat to bring back to your family.
Beware, not to misstep though, as a mistake will draw too much attention with all those pesky civilians around...maybe give them a good scare while you're at it!

Nice game, as an expected. Good gameplay and graphics, but i want more levels of this ;)
Tried to speedrun levels, its too hard for me
Best for me - A level speed ;) Very interesting!
On this LD now i am created beat-music-game, check! ;)
Good thinking with the level select, I think that works well for LD.
At first I thought I had to go when the policeman-looking dudes weren't looking, so I was getting scored badly for speed. But then I figured out they can't do anything to me. I AM ABOVE THE LAW.
Great job.
btw: everything else is very nice as well.
I'm always a fun of this kind of rythm/keyboard game (see Promoted, my LD24 entry ^^) so I really enjoyed Nimble.
Great work!
awesome work!!
Also it was nice to chat with you on Twitter!
Thank you for making games!
Cool game. Maybe you should've incorporated the scare in the final result somehow; like, minimum amount of scare required to complete the level?
really cool game, love that the gameplay is so simple & responsive. The art also does a really good job at supporting the theme and fantasy too.
I could totally see this being successful as a mobile game with swiping controls. :)
Cheers,

My biggest gripe is that I can't really "queue up" inputs without failing. If I try to press "up" while in the animation to arrive at a "left," the game just fails me because up isn't *technically* the next button in front of my character. In a game whose primary mechanic is a test of player's input speed, it feels a little silly to be penalized for providing inputs too fast.
I also found the scaring mechanic to be a bit clumsy for two reasons. The first is that performing a scare covers up your entire screen for a few frames (which are precious things in a game as quick as this) in an abrupt and awkward fashion, which makes it feel like a generally clunky thing to do. The second problem with scaring is that, when a character is scared, this is only indicated by a fairly subtle change in their animation which is easy to miss when you're trying to read the entire screen at a quick glance. It might help if scared characters were color coded to make it more clear who you have and haven't scared yet.
That aside, this is still a very nice start to a game which could quickly turn into an addictive time-killer with just a bit more attention to detail on the mechanics.
Though I wish there was more to the game than just quicktime events. It's well made but lacks depth. But maybe that's too much to ask from a Ludum Dare game.
Getting an S left me satisfied with the game.
Overall, I enjoyed this a lot nonetheless, good job!
