You need some personal space but the people on the bus won't let you, shove them away for as long as possible.

You'll probably get RSI from this game.

Controls:

Left to move and push crowd left

Right to move and push crowd right

R to Restart

If you get stuck in a crowd, tap left and right to get unstuck.

Sound, Art, Gameplay made by myself.

Great idea for the theme! This reminded me of something you would see in a Wariorware game. The character felt a little buggy/glitchy when moving around but it wasn't game breaking. Overall I think this was a solid entry for the jam, nice work!

@esther128 The game is quite slow at the start but then starts to ramp up around the minute mark. There's actually no way to win.

Great game! And so relateable! I really like the soundeffects. Maybe some small effects like little explosions or some sparks might be a neat addition.

Fun, little game with a simple, yet fun gameloop.
But i would liked to have a longer audio-loop, since you can hear the cut in the music. But you did make the game alone and in limited time, so thats understandable!

So simple yet so effective! I was totally engaged and survived for 131 seconds. Now I see double :laughing:

Well done!

I can definitely relate. Nice interpretation and something different! Really appreciated the audio feedback when trying to push them off.

I lasted for 132 seconds, during which I came to believe the following:

This game is an exploration of the importance of, but also the ultimate futility of, first-strike doctrine. All I needed was room to sit in peace, but if I was not extremely aggressive then my right to space would be trampled. The only way to take a mere sufficience of space for myself was to aggressively and constantly take ALL available space for myself, mercilessly stomping faceless dehumanized neighbors. No friendliness here, friend - we all know where that leads. Instead I will SMASH YOU and take this entire bench, nay entire subway car, nay the entire WORLD for myself!

Until my neighbors-turned-enemies amassed against me in such a large and relentless horde that no amount of frantic aggressive button-mashing could hold them back from smothering my rights and snuffing my candle.

Well, man was made to mourn.

Thank god for that beautiful crunchy sound effect.

Interesting entry - I enjoyed.

I really enjoyed the game; it's quite simple but has its unique twist. The gameplay is quite original, in my opinion. Keep it up. I won't mention all the shortcomings and bugs in the game as they have been described above
