Streaker 2013 by ashdnazg
All them fancy football games never included the important institute of streakers.
Since running nude in a football pitch and avoiding security personnel is quite important, I've decided to simulate it in this humble game.
These are your 10 seconds of fame, use them well!
Arrows: Run.
Space: Wiggle!
P.S. The headlines in the end screen are based on amusing situations, if you didn't get "Police Brutality" you're missing half the fun :D
EDIT: Four changes in the bugfixes+restart version:
1) Instead of exiting, the game restarts.
2) Prevented memory leaks.
3) Fixed a minor bug.
4) Added a readme. :)

@Josh: You have no idea how much I laughed during the development :D
nice nice :P
Could do with a restart option, but great otherwise.
Following the suggestions I've added a version that restarts instead of quitting. Have fun!
@mutilator: Please abide your local laws regarding indecent exposure.
@Arrow-x: Quite the opposite! I made this simulator so I don't have to do this in real life. :D
However, no particular goal except perhaps "surviving" the time limit, which is pretty brief. But that's the theme, so not much to do about it I suppose.
Avoiding being caught is pretty easy.
Graphics are very minimalistic, but they fit, they work, and I like them.
In the end, I guess the humor factor is what really makes this game, but that's not a criticism though.
The concept is awesome enough in itself, but the little wiggle dance and the different headlines really make this special :D
Good humour and great use of the theme!
@hbocao: If you aren't caught after 10 seconds it's quite probable that no one is chasing you, so the game isn't very interesting anymore... (and I'm not going to implement spawning any time soon)
@Everybody: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)
Some minor issues (i was trying the original, so sorry if they were fixed later):
Running horizontally or vertically works fine, but if you hold down multiple keys, the diagonal running is slower and jittery. I'm guessing it wasn't intended? Should be easy to fix or disable it though :)
And the other thing is, sometimes at game over, the black screen is not properly aligned over the field.
Overall: Simple yet fun idea that was executed really well! Nice graphics and funny sounds on top of that. Definitely worth the time to try out :)
About the diagonal running speed, it was my first attempt at doing isometric graphics, so movement wasn't handled correctly. :(
It won't be fixed in this game, but I've certainly learned something for next time!
