Nice game idea, the tutorial is a bit hidden but once I read it I finally understood what was going on :D.
Whish the game would be a bit slower though, it's hard to plan ahead if the victims are moving so fast.

I feel like the best thing you could do to improve this game is put a time limit on it. Or add a timed mode or something. It would add pressure that would enhance the fun. It's already really fun, though. :D

Neat idea but too difficult for me. If you continue development you should find a way of easing the player into the game. Introduce the victim types one at a time and let players learn how to deal with them slowly instead of all at once.

I had a go at this game blind, and I loved the idea even though I'm terrible at micromanagement. Although, maybe a way to score myself and try harder would've been nice too.

Thanks :P . Initially I wanted to introduce the victims one by one but I only managed to finish this at 3am(deadline at 10am) :X so I decided to cut features, which is an important lesson I learnt from this participation.

Couldn't run it (I installed the redist framework)
Windows XP 32-bit

you might need .net framework. If it is not a hassle for you

please advise on the step by step installation guide to this please.. :troll:

I realized that I can't even collect a single ransom and it takes too long , so I modified the parameters slightly and uploaded a second version that is slightly easier and enemy is slower.

The game crash quickly sadly (when I clic on the little man icon), the concept looks cool, but I can't rate it ! :(

what happen ? when you click the little man icon, 6 "box" will popup and you can click those to choose who you want to kidnap. I would be interested to know what crash it ._.

same thing happened to me. The game crashes when you click the "kidnap" icon If it helps, see this screenshot: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3783503/ld25tkcrash.png

Unrunnable :( Windows 8

Turns out I needed this as well: (XNA Framework 4 Redist)

Interesting idea - but I found it pretty easy, really... just walled up the edges, added loads of victims and then just left them to it. Only one out of about ten decided to go through the edge wall.

Really hard, it would probably play better in a more turn based style, or if there was more of a controlled setup time.

I am actually thinking of making a post-LD version that is turn based instead. If I do I will update here =)
