I could see a flocking + fleeing behaviour working well. I feel like I should get a splinter when I step on those houses ^_^ Also, +1 kudos to releasing source code for a jam game and for making a game that zips up to 0kb! 0kb people!

We had a lot of similar ideas, but in the end we didn't have time to implement them.

Pretty fun game, I especially liked the sound effects.  I thought the movement was a little slow but I guess someone with giant feet can't walk too fast.  Throw in some more variety in the gameplay (like more stuff to avoid) and this game can be great.  Overall, nice work."},{"author_name":"blob","author_uid":"12252","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 6:38pm","epoch":1335292380,"text":"Fleeing behavior would be awesome indeed. Its a very funny idea you have there. A way to move faster would be good too ( maybe a sprint where you cant control the direction for a short time )"},{"author_name":"Ace","author_uid":"10247","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 6:42pm","epoch":1335292620,"text":"Maybe not hiding the mouse pointer would make the controls just a slight bit better, nice game mechanics though.\r<br\/>The big blue footprints made me chuckle, the tiny president and his magical powers too."},{"author_name":"barigorokarl","author_uid":"3036","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 7:24pm","epoch":1335295140,"text":"HA, very cool.

One thing that was somewhat frustrating was standing directly on top of a single human trying to kill them-- perhaps both feet could go down if they are stopped? Also, the concept of this is almost exactly the opposite of our game :P."},{"author_name":"sampyxis","author_uid":"6533","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 10:30pm","epoch":1335392700,"text":"Loved the idea - cursor moved a bit slow - but otherwise fun."},{"author_name":"ilo","author_uid":"12377","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 11:35pm","epoch":1335396600,"text":"Wavy feet, man!
