Pretty good idea for a game, I do however find the graphics confusing (not clear which ones are the harassers) and I got stuck inside a friend-symbol (I think it was a friend at least). The soundtrack is cool though!

Good idea. If you continue to develop it, since sexual harassment don't just take place on street some level can be at home, at work, at school etc. Also there's no need to clearly identify the harassers since they can be almost everyone, not just bums.

It's good idea to raise up serious theme, but realization not good enough to share with friends.

Good theme, but there were a few problems in the implementation.

Besides avoiding the harassers, the player has to avoid getting stuck. Friends are more of a danger than a help because they will block the player from moving, and sometimes get the player completely stuck.

Did you use a box collider on the player? Because I had trouble sneaking around corners without getting momentarily stuck. Perhaps you should consider a circle collider for the player if you didn't.

Another option would be to be able to pass through friends. It's very problematic that you see an opening to get through the enemies and win, but your friends block it.

I was able to win after a few plays, so it certainly isn't impossible, but I did avoid making any friends to make it easier to win.

Last point, I couldn't see any way to retry after losing except to end the program and restart.

Nice music, and unlike some other commenters I thought the graphics were pretty clear about what was what. I think it's just a few gameplay issues that get in the way of the message here.

Good idea and nice try though!

I agree with what others have said about the friends being a hazard that block your path. It also wasn't clear under what circumstances my "health" bar would deplete, or even what that health bar represented.
I also didn't find the music very appropriate. For women, walking and trying to avoid street harassment is tense, but the music made it sound like a scene in an action movie!

I like that you took a simple avoidance mechanic and tried to say something important with it. Best of luck if you continue developing this!
