Ikigai: I am happy to complete the first LD I attend and both the game and the experience are definitely out of my expectation, feel couraged! XD
BxDaze: it's weeeeeeeeeeeeee
Ikigai: Oh and I have to give much thank to my partner BxDaze without whom I couldn't have lasted till the end *blink blink*
BxDaze: No I didn't help you and I was just chewing cookies while you were coding and I think you were just raged soooo much ```

The yellow numbers are hard to read on the characters, when they are in front of each other you also don't see them, it's hard to keep track on everyone. To not loose them, the best strategy is to just put them in the food because you can't keep track of everyone. (specially because of the hard to read numbers).
I like the mood of the game anyway ;) Good work!
Cool concept with sweet graphics.
I needed some time to figure out that I have to drag when on the head.
But it was worth it :grin:
The music is well choosen and fits great.
Nicely done guys! :smile:
@Aurelien : Hiding the HP number when one citizen is overlapped by another is intentional, but I didn't realize the colour of the numbers makes them hard to read until now. :O Thank you for pointing this out.
@Porcus-Pie : Yes, you are right. This is a flaw :X there should be indications, but we got too busy and tired during the last hours before the submission so we forgot to put them on... I would gonna fix it in the post-jam version if there is going to be one.
Is it actually possible to make a 100 survive ? I might loose a lot of time this week trying to achieve it depending on the answer
@kavehes : 100 will be too hard, you can try for a 40 or a 50... I made it to a 55 yesterday.
We settled 100 because there are theoretically 120 slots around all of the stations; we underestimated how hard the drag-and-dropping turned out to be.
The original idea was to make a citizen able to "teleport" to any destination, but during the last hours we kept feeling it strange so changed the movement into a "delayed" style, causing the challenge goal hard to achieve. :O
