Short and fun! beat it fairly quick and I really enjoyed the level where the little men come bursting out of the sides! It's cute and reminds me of Agar.io and the feeling of running away from a threat with your ball following the mouse. For the future I think simply making the player face the mouse would be a nice simple change that would add a lot to the feel of the game. Awesome job overall!

Fun game! I enjoyed the sound design a lot - the calm, relaxing music is a nice juxtaposition to the rushed footsteps chasing you. I wish there were more to the game - more levels, more mechanics - but I liked what I played. Good work!

Little funny game, but has tough controls)
Relaxing game and *snap* sound is cool!
Wanted to see more levels with more mechanics

Specially liked the last level, it shows how much potential this mechanic has. It's sad it is so short though. Really creative spin of the theme!

Hey! I loved the concept. It looks simple, but it’s actually pretty challenging. If you get stuck in a corner, you’re done for. Would love to see more levels in the future Gj!

PD: Made in C with raylib, so nice.

What a great and fun project! 🌟 The game pleased with its simplicity and original gameplay, reminiscent of Agar.io. I especially liked the level with "exploding" people - it was very cute! 😂 The music creates a relaxing atmosphere, despite the tension of the chases. 🎶 I would like to see more levels and mechanics to develop this idea further. 👍 Great job, guys! Thanks for the fun!

Cool game! Maybe it need some kind of delay on restart, because I always keep clicking the same spot as I was before and ruin the second attempt completely :sweat_smile:

The swarm must have been fun to program. It's a cool game mechanic and it could benefit from having more levels.

I didn't expect them to chase after you, ha ha. It was kinda scary when they all ran at me. Very nice game!

Ok that was quite hard! Liked the concept though and loved that winning always felt such such a close call. I liked the sound effects of the swarm and the stick-men graphic were v cute.

I didn't know what I was supposed to do and the controls felt a bit hard to use but overall a interesting game.

also odd things keep happening when I leave the tab briefly like all the men flying off (something to do with how you are calculating movement in relation to delta time?).

I really liked it! What a great game jam game idea - such a simple premise, yet so much fun. :) Nicely done!

The sudden swarms where you suddenly get rushed are really fun! It's a very charming game, I'd love to play even more levels of it.

A cool little entry you have made here with good progression. It was frustrating to get stuck if I wasn't precise but with how quick you got back into the action it alleviated some of that pain. Keep away from me you damn corporates. Well done on your entry! :smile:
