Hit By A Car by Jonathan Lorenz

[raw]
made by Jonathan Lorenz for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Hit By A Car is a short game about preventing pedestrians from getting hurt. Every 10 seconds a new pedestrian appears. Make them stop or spped up to avoid death. How long can you save them?

Left click : pedestrians in the circle walk faster Right click : pedestrians in the circle stop

I didn't had enough time to create music, but I had fun mixing together sounds of crushing kiwis for the "gore" sfx.

Hope you'll have fun playing the game!

What a bloody game, I.... like it! haha :)
Really nice idea and I like how random but not too random the npc move.
Funny, simple and hard!

Okay those mechanics are brutal! I lasted just over 4 minutes. The physics on death is great, of course. And the sound effect choice is fantastic. The mechanics are totally unique.

Very unique game. The pedestrians turning around and going back across the street was kind of frustrating, but it was also kind of funny in twisted way. Nice sound effects and death animation.

You can totally broke the game by stopping only one pedestrian and wait as long as you want ^^ I decided to stop after a few minutes.

This is cool, exactly what a jam game should be. Simple but saturated. Great job!

Very fun and cool concept. Some music could really help with the mood.

This is great! I felt like I was suffering from some form of target fixation and accidentally forcing people into cars :joy:

Simple game that's fun to play. I wish the layout of the game was better so you can see the cars coming better. Also I think that adding music would be really great for the game. I had a good laugh. Good Job.

Funny game, the physics and sound effects are very good. With more work and a set goal this could be an engaging sort of puzzle.

I look at all this and understand that I have grown too much to enjoy a great game. Everything becomes more complicated when you involuntarily begin to calculate the cost of repairs after an accident)) Has anyone had this? Usually I know everything about the car. For example, how much does a new set of tires cost at online tires canada store - https://tireplanet.ca/ So my crisis calculator is always in my head. But I'm used to it. Sometimes it's even convenient))
