My two biggest gripes, though, are that the default speed is a little slow (although this is a nitpick considering you can speed it up), and that the background is very bland. Even if it's just 2-3 building/tree tiles, or some dirt thrown in with the grass, you could really improve the visual quality of your game by spicing up the background a bit. Otherwise, very nice job!
Pick with mouse is not fun but when we pick with the keyboard is more fun that with mouse.
Graphics/audio are great but the maps/tiles background are little forgot (I mean a little bit too neutral^^ depending of the rest of your game). :sob:
My main criticism is from a game-level-balance perspective, as I felt that the cop level was a bit frustrating cause he seems to be slightly quicker and too smart - at least for a 2nd level :see_no_evil:
BUT, the audio, assets are very nice and work very well together - maybe make the map bigger so that people can see the assets with more detail, because I am a fan of that bus's design and I wanted to see it closer. THE BUM. :peach: was great.
The difficulty curve is good and you explain things very understandable but not to extensive. I personally stoped the second level after you introduce the party-goers that can be picked up by cops aswell. At that point the indirect time limit and numbered tiles you can place plus the different mechanics got too much for me too handle.
Overall, I liked it very much :)
edit: i also freely admit that i'm a huge dum dum and didn't try and maneuver the cops around with the lights at first. good god. maybe have that in big red text for people like me who are going to just not think all the way through a mechanic? lmao that's also... man i really should have thought of that.
