Mr. Blue is finally here!

The city is running out of power due to its sad and cranky citizens. Mr. Blue is here to empower the city with his go to attitude and hip moves.

Nice concept! I think it's not a very good idea to make Space a restart button though :-)

I really liked this game from the moment i saw the Gif of mr Blue high-fiving the little girl. I wish it was easier to tell if i was inline with the other characters, maybe some shadows or something. A very entertaining game thanks.

I really liked the graphics and animations of the characters. Also, it's a very nice interpretation of the theme.

Striking animations, got some real character to them! I ran in to a few problems finding where I needed to stand to trigger the cheers but other than that I have no complains. Seems like a very realized idea to me :)

Great idea for interpretation of the theme of LD! This is a very funny and cute game! Everything works smoothly and nicely, even when you're using the wrong action. The smile didn't left my face throughout the game =)

This was a really good entry! The animations felt lively and fluid as fuck and the gameplay was pretty smooth. The music was very good too! The only strange thing was sometimes I greeted 2 persons at the same time. Enjoyed it!

Really interesting take on the theme, fun game however the hitbox for interaction may need improvement i found myself right next to people and not registering but then i would hit 2 or three at once.

Very interesting idea. Animations are cool, and music fits the style, making it really moody. It's quite funny, animation of fist bumping girl killed me xD The controls, however, were not that precise. I often ended up doing handshake in the air, even though I was ceratin, I'm in front of guy. Maybe adjust moving speed, or decrease number of rows enemy can spawn on. And I don't know if it was intended, you could really make a gesture with more than one character, often in the large area. Beside that, very funny game :)

Cute animations. You can change the second label to say "web" instead of "source code" and probably get more plays. Way easier ( for me at least to play the webGL version.

I love this game. The graphics look really good. The gameplay is ridiculous simple, but that makes it easy to play and it still make a lot of fun. The use of the theme is extremely creative and unique. The sound fits the mood and it's even funny due to it's simplicity. This is currently the best game I played on this Jam. But you might consider to remove the audio voting, if you did not make the sound yourself.

Fantastic game! I love the mood of this game. The happy music reminded me of the classic Tom & Jerry style of music. The animations were surprisingly fluid and their little happy faces were adorable.

I did have a little bit of trouble with the controls. Hitting the spot where the gesture would actually connect was a bit difficult and sometimes frustrating. Especially with the office workers.

I think your take on the "Running out of Power" theme is a lot of fun, though. Great entry!

I really love the mood and art style of the game. High fiving, fist bumping, and hand shaking are all really satisfying. My biggest complaint is that I'd sometimes be high fiving right next to somebody and they wouldn't respond. Great work!

That was really fun and unique. I enjoyed playing it. The waves were a little too fast and the objectives to close to each other making it easy to miss many :( But the animation was fun to watch especially when using gestures incorrectly. lol
