made by pnkthrepwood for LD25 (JAM)
Chaos and mayhem in the city!

Genre: Arcade/stealth

=== Background ===
Move the villain around there and kill as many citizens as possible without being caught by the police.

Use your knife, do the job and get the money. Hide in the surroundings if things turn bad!

Try to no get caught, though. If nobody sees you killing anyone you are in shape to go. Otherwise, time to run...

=== Controls ===
*W/A/S/D: Move the villain
*Spacebar: Stab with your knife

=== Some notes ===
The AI is what makes this game fun. If you kill a citizen and nobody sees you, the police won't come. If a random citizen sees the corpse, he will be alerted, but won't recognize you. And if he recognizes you, he will remember you for the rest of the game.
Try to be observant with the surroundings and you will enjoy it more! : D

I love how you can hide in the tall grass to evade pursuers. It took me a while to get used to differentiating between policemen and regular folks, and it's really cool that citizens have different levels of awareness when you walk by them.

Some of them are aware of the fact that I just knifed 50 people in the past five minutes.

Fun game, I liked the frustratingly normal walkspeed; made you feel even more like a deviant.

that was suprising
very quickly you go looking for people in blind alleys, stalking them and if someone sees youm you try to silence them
a quick as you can.
So you turn into a real jack the ripper. Great game mechanic. The graphics were simple but good.
It could use some more sounds, like people screaming, shouting, cops yelling.

And crime really doesn't pay: what a bunch of poor people!

I'm just interested, how fast does this game run? And how many citizens does it have? Really cool stealth game, I liked that mechanic: You stab someone, quickly grab the money, quickly run away, hope nobody has seen you. Nice game! :)
