Love the simplicity of the setting but the baseball bat needs a little work. Reminds me more of a flashlight right now. On the other hand it does fit the abstract style. The Sound is excellent and makes playing feel very smooth. Best of all is the AI behaviour though. Just like real people they run away and then stand around in groups to watch... ! Overall: it's a bit too easy, probably depending on your mouse settings. I was able to run around for quite a long time (600+ points) without any problem by swinging the bat rapidly around me. I guess we have to hope you get a Unity Pro version soon :D"},{"author_name":"NiceAlexanderAS","author_uid":"7045","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 2:46pm","epoch":1356014460,"text":"This is fun! i liked it!! :D great job! :D"},{"author_name":"dray","author_uid":"5284","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 2:48pm","epoch":1356014580,"text":"Very Simple game, but very fun with a nice feeling.

Your feedback has been most helpful.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm aware of the mouse weirdness on some of the mice, because the rotation speed is directly mapped to your mouse sensitivity, which means that game experience may differ on different computers (which I recognize as a valid problem), as opposed to, say, Super Hexagon. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>This issue has already been fixed, and I will upload the new version once the voting is over, because it's a pretty big fix and would be against the rules of the compo, which I respect.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Cheers, and thank you for your time."},{"author_name":"Dark Acre Jack","author_uid":"2947","time":"Dec 26, 2012 @ 8:59pm","epoch":1356555240,"text":"Very nice, clean little game.

Very nicely done. I don't think I have any suggestions to improve it right now.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The fact that the game is just squares and that trial version at the bottom right corner just add to the experience of why the developer is pissed off :D \r<br\/>\r<br\/>You might be surprised, but I had a &quot;Drive&quot; feeling from the cops. Was that a part of it, or did you mean more the aesthetics? I watched it recently and the introduction of the movie really stuck to me, with the police cars. I saw somewhere it was intended to be like &quot;swimming in a sea of sharks&quot;, and my first feeling was: maybe I'll make a game with this concept!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, good going."}],"images":["ld25\/9963-9916681a0157226ab647f90162071157.jpg","ld25\/9963-ddb7a2b7c5962e34f44982a03ef8008c.jpg","ld25\/9963-2dd295a303c0441e81f335375e5879b6.jpg","ld25\/9963-a18232a42e2d12fe15c28d7fe52a50a9.jpg","ld25\/9963-830efecc65031df889274fa01f055639.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download.php?m8n1uwyhzk571ma","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download.php?koa6930vekal7tt","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download.php?upj213ov9a6dpac","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/sergeymohov\/pineapple-dreams","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/?ly1sp4p7zule99e","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"27608","g_author":"9963","g_event":"LD25","g_eventkey":"14","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"27638","g_title":"Pineapple Dreams","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"368","g_commentcount":"29","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\/\/201083\/9963-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/9963-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/9963-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/9963-shot3.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/9963-shot4.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Pineapple Dreams is a game about the good old ultra violence, in which I am the Villain, quite literally.
