Nice game! I liked your take on the theme. The art was great, amazing giving the time constraints! I did have an issue with out of memory errors after playing for a bit, but I enjoyed the Grand Theft Auto-style mayhem.

Out of memory exceptions for me as well. However, I get the idea and the game feel, and it is a fun idea. Would be awesome if the club was a bit bigger - both the visuals and the collider... More havok!

Graphics and audio were nice, not entirely sure what the actual point of the game was and I couldn't do that much because it kept crashing when I broke out of the pens.

I like the theme of the human zoo and the alien creature art was very nice. The controls were a bit difficult and I had trouble hitting any of the things I was trying to. The webplayer crashed the first time I died.

I like the concept. It took me a minute to realise I was meant to be escaping and not killing my cell mate.
The game ended up crashing.

I played the solo version. I think it'll be better to play the multi version(at first I thought I could release the prisoners haha). Still I love the concept, good job !!!

when I killed other human, I have gotten this message.Cannot enlarge memory arrays. Either (1) compile with -s TOTAL_MEMORY=X with X higher than the current value 134217728, (2) compile with ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH which adjusts the size at runtime but prevents some optimizations, or (3) set Module.TOTAL_MEMORY before the program runs.

This was really cool. Loved the art. Some more variation would go a long way- different attacks and items maybe? And it crashed after playing for a few minutes.

Nice concept, graphic and audio. But a bit buggy and confusing. I didnt see any stunned human, so what about the grapping? and my hp went down to -50 before i lost for real.
