I liked the game mechanic a lot, especially how you get a second chance to get them on the way back. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics were simple but did the job. (a billion times better than my own entry). The look would have felt more complete, if instead of changing the mouse cursor to a square, you had changed it to a hand. Good on you for having a go at making music. Music is very time consuming. Unfortunately only one bar of music repeated over and over quickly gets annoying. Of course you know this that's why there is a giant mute button. I think it would have been better to have had some simple sound effects, which could have added to the humor. People could shout at you as you push them. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I couldn't see a restart button? So I had to refresh the page each time to play again."},{"author_name":"badlydrawnrod","author_uid":"745","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 1:03pm","epoch":1418043480,"text":"Black Friday gone mad.

For the first while I found it much easier to steal the package that to push the guys of the bridge. Takes a while until you feel like you have to do both. Good job overall."},{"author_name":"jpmit","author_uid":"38953","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:11pm","epoch":1418051160,"text":"I like the idea, the interesting controls and the graphics.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It is quite tricky though!  Even after playing it for a while I couldn't last for long.  I guess it is Black Friday though."},{"author_name":"elliottd","author_uid":"27074","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:26pm","epoch":1418052060,"text":"I found the interaction boiled down to matching the speed of the people and drawing a diagonal up or down. I think that felt kind of awkward with mouse input. the way customers could pass through you seemed to deny the illusion of a physical interaction. I think there is a lot you could do to make that feel better. nice scoring system"},{"author_name":"bubblemapgaming","author_uid":"45245","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:42pm","epoch":1418053020,"text":"Very interesting idea, rather simple graphics but did the job."},{"author_name":"Andrea","author_uid":"44353","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:59pm","epoch":1418054040,"text":"A dream come true for all people working retail at the end of the year :D\r<br\/>Fun and challenging!
