The cop moved a little slow, and at times it felt like the hit boxes on the civilians were too big and made it easy to hit the wrong target. The graphics were good, if a bit rough around the edges, and the sounds did a good job helping set the tone of the game. You hit the mark on mood, for sure, and I can definitely feel the setting you were trying to create. I just wish there was a bit more to the gameplay itself."},{"author_name":"sprawl","author_uid":"29314","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:37pm","epoch":1418218320,"text":"Well... It gets to the point I guess.

I do like the message, and the game itself is solid. Your way of getting the message across however might be a little brute force style. :D Not necessarily bad, but as somebody said before a more subtle approach might have worked better. Anyway it's always cool to see some sociopolitical commentary in LD games!"},{"author_name":"csanyk","author_uid":"10473","time":"Dec 29, 2014 @ 1:00am","epoch":1419814500,"text":"Nice to see someone else had basically the same idea I did."}],"images":["ld31\/31427-5d291b45bdeb2815f08637b7cacbfb06.jpg","ld31\/31427-0e9eecf6ce85d957522a29b87f44b5db.jpg","ld31\/31427-a4fedfcb6843db41c9ae0057a3f21f45.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/infernohawke.com\/Ludum31\/web\/dpweb.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/infernohawke.com\/Ludum31\/DeathPolice3000.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/infernohawke.com\/Ludum31\/LD31.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"15573","g_author":"31427","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"15603","g_title":"DEATH POLICE 3000","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"893","g_commentcount":"12","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/31427-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/31427-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/31427-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"DEATH POLICE 3000 is a satire based on the current social issues in the USA ... shooting of unarmed civilians by our police force most frequently black males but also homeless and mentally ill men are targeted as well, and combined with the old movie Death Race 2000 where sport was made of killing people.\r\n\r\nWARNING: Features blood, killing innocent people including cartoon violence.\r\n\r\nGameplay is very simple; attempt to underprivileged people while avoiding killing privileged people. As long as you don't kill too many privileged people you will probably win!  (AKA satirically the game is somewhat rigged like in real life)\r\n\r\nThere is no way to die; just try to get the most kills you can in 30 seconds.\r\n\r\nIf I had more time and was able to work more in to the game I would attempt to make a better challenge for the player than just a timer, some threats to avoid; perhaps try to kill people while not being filmed or to try and break iphones and cameras to destroy evidence and such but those were things I did not have time to get in!\r\n\r\nThe satire comes in at the end depending on if you \"win\" or \"lose\" you get slightly different messaging about your actions.\r\n\r\nThanks for playing, I hope you enjoy and please vote and leave feedback!\r\n\r\nNOTES\/BUGS:\r\n- Made with Unity ; requires a browser that can run Unity web plugin and permission to do so\r\n- QUIT does nothing in web mode\r\n- there is nothing stopping you from running out of bounds of the screen at this time\r\n","title":"DEATH POLICE 3000"}
