Simple game but it's so funny, I felt myself giggling as I whacked them and fled. Looks nice too, I like the art style and the scale shift from the bottom to the top, which works really well. The music and style of the sound fits perfectly too, although got a little repetitive (clearly because I played it for much too long)."},{"author_name":"Jordan Kniest","author_uid":"17924","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 2:50pm","epoch":1418049900,"text":"60000 points :) yeay!

I did the music and sounds in the last 15 minutes, and I knew they would be really repeatative.

Silly fun game, with simple and effective graphics and sound. After all the Yolo\/Swag\/Salty word bubbles, I was pretty irritated at the InstiGator myself! As critique, I noticed after a time, people stopped chasing (I wasn't sure if this was a bug or intentional), and I also experienced a bit of slowdown when there were a large number of people after me. Some possible ways to build on this might be to create different pedestrian types with different abilities or movement patterns, and possibly some collectibles or terrain obstacles to mix up the obvious &quot;run circles around them&quot; play pattern. Good work, overall. I had fun!"},{"author_name":"alvarop","author_uid":"31332","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 10:45pm","epoch":1418424000,"text":"everything i said on the stream. :)"},{"author_name":"Taunia Sabanski","author_uid":"39989","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 8:51am","epoch":1418460360,"text":"The little animation of the gator walking\/running around is absolutely spectacular. I liked the speech bubbles with the different phrases, and while the music was a bit repetitive, it wasn't obnoxiously so. More humorous than anything. :)"},{"author_name":"rmc","author_uid":"45746","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 7:00pm","epoch":1418756100,"text":"Simple and funny....very good, the name is just perfect!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very nice job!"},{"author_name":"Code White","author_uid":"37086","time":"Dec 19, 2014 @ 10:11am","epoch":1418983560,"text":"Good concept and fits the theme.

The animations and the graphics style is perfect - everything from top to toe is just overwhelmingly charming. I love how the people calmed down after a while, and you had to hit them again or start losing points. The music totally fit too. In a way it felt completely random, but it's all &quot;random&quot; in a funny way that just totally works. The little 3D effect is great as well. I loved the game, and although it's really a bite sized piece of entertainment, not everything is supposed to be huge complex things. Sometimes you just need a little seed of joy in your life :)"},{"author_name":"DonovanWu","author_uid":"36681","time":"Dec 23, 2014 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1419377520,"text":"The game's simple but it's so funny!
