Nothing I haven't seen before, but it was still pretty fun. The graphics and sound (apart from the missing sprites) are quite well done! As is common with procedural map generation, the challenge level can be inconsistent. Sometimes I made it through the first level easily, and sometimes not."},{"author_name":"zazery","author_uid":"2362","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 12:21am","epoch":1314058560,"text":"The spotlight effect works quite well in creating tension.

Also needs some audio. The levels seem really imbalanced, as the ones I got seemed to have most of the enemies on one side of the map, and next to none on the rest. After some more work, it could be really cool :)"},{"author_name":"siebharinn","author_uid":"1450","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 3:02am","epoch":1314068220,"text":"Ok, I tried it again with a non-sucky browser, and it worked.\r\rGraphics were good. Light effect was nice. Targets were pretty small.\r\rYou seemed to have some kind of collision error. There were times when I couldn't advance down the street until I moved to other lane, even though there was nothing visible in front of me.\r\rNice job overall!"},{"author_name":"onefineline","author_uid":"4670","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 3:40am","epoch":1314070500,"text":"@siebharinn: there are little rectangles that block your path. I think that's what you mean. I have to agree that the enemies were SO SMALL! Geez!

I also went with an "escape the city" type game, and about halfway through developing my game, I realized I should have gone with a maze generator instead of randomly placed buildings- great minds think alike, maybe?"},{"author_name":"rawbits","author_uid":"5167","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 12:27am","epoch":1314145320,"text":"It is frustrating that not all the foe try to catch and if so then they do it from where they can't see me.\rAlso turrets are shooting or not, rapid or not.\rAnd you can get back from exit when the screen fades.\r\rBut aside from that this is a good game. Are you made Atom Zombie Smasher or played it a lot? I programmed labyrinth generating algorithms when I was 10 on my C64 and this idea hasn't popped in my mind... How simple and yet entertaining. Thanks for making it. Please get rid of the bugs and post it sometime!"},{"author_name":"Shigor","author_uid":"5242","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 6:38am","epoch":1314167580,"text":"There's several game of this type in the LD21 that I've seen, but I'd guess yours is probably slightly better then the others in the terms of gameplay."},{"author_name":"N0_Named_Guy","author_uid":"5344","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 8:59pm","epoch":1314219240,"text":"Good game, but I really dislike the sound... Too repetitive... Can't distinguish the sound of my own bullets versus enemy fire... Shop feature is nice. Overall, a fun game.

Not sure why I'm being paid to kill the red guys, but it does seem like a reasonably solid mechanical ground for an interesting game. With single-click shots it feels like I should also conserve ammo, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The speed of movement on the other hand would favor autofire.

Mostly the difficulty was very unrealistic since those little things just clouded you, or you just sniped them outside of their range. The turrets couldn't be defeated so. A couple bugs where you could get stuck against a wall."},{"author_name":"Winterblood","author_uid":"4051","time":"Sep 11, 2011 @ 10:29pm","epoch":1315779840,"text":"Nice idea, very polished. But very fiddly to shoot enemies, and my bullets didn't seem to fire directly at the cursor. Also a brief glimpse of the exit would be nice so you have half a chance of reaching it deliberately instead of by happy accident :)"}],"images":["ld21\/4668-4e82783cd0dee08c2f75982f9bafe27d.jpg","ld21\/4668-997f655ad602cf6f3018293fc25de352.jpg","ld21\/4668-6630f97c207e46e3290066926dfa8fa3.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dannygoodayle.com\/CityRun.html","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/dannygoodayle.com\/CityRun.html","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/dannygoodayle.com\/CityRun.html","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/dannygoodayle.com\/CityRun.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.dannygoodayle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ld_warrozo_cityrun.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"32403","g_author":"4668","g_event":"LD21","g_eventkey":"7","g_subevent":"-","g_urlkey":"32433","g_title":"City Runner","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"165","g_commentcount":"21","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\/\/62148\/4668-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/62148\/4668-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/62148\/4668-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is my first LD, and its been really fun!
