Awesome style and concept! However, I was shooting in my room and got stuck in the wall behind my bed and missed several days of work...
Good social commentary. It would've been nice if there was a way to close up shop or something- can you, once you get enough money?
So funny ! We really had a good laugh with my friends testing your games. I'm fond of the puzzling style with an exit door. Hilarious to see all the guys going crazy with weapons on the street :)
Yes. I was wondering if someone would be able to effectively show this idea. Excellent work.
I love the simple bouncing circle-guys. The social commentary is as good as the gameplay.
solid. May sound odd, but I really like the game's dimensions. Really fits the experience well
I was waiting to see something like this pop up. Very nicely done! You're already featured on indiegames, too! Excellent work.
I could not for the life of me figure out how to play it. It looks okay, good colours anyway. The gameplay is, as far as I can tell, completely non-existent. Could you post better instructions?
Clever concept, zaratustra. I don't think it would work as well with more realistic people.
Oh noes now they are shooting each other :(
Awesome work!
Amazing take on the theme! Loved the pacing of it and the multiple endings.
Lovely concept. Walking back to your house to see the destruction you've sold is really awesome
Nicely done! Wasn't expecting that! Cute animations as well.
Interesting interpretation of the theme and the graphics are great :)
Was a bit lost at first, but once you get a grasp on it, it becomes pretty darn cool :D
I wish there was an ending for allowing your store to go under and allowing 0 deaths. Otherwise I thought the graphics were quite good and the concept was well executed. Some sound would've been appreciated.
I love how I can start shooting while customers still buying my guns. Feels like a psychopath
I never get tired of replaying this. It would be nice if you release a full version
awesome!!! :) thanks for this little gem
This is very clever, and actually quite fun! One of the best take of the them I've seen yet.
The characters are disturbingly adorables.
Alright, that was quite awesome. Great idea, made well, although you should probably have better described the controls. Overall a really neat little game.

Oh, I really liked this little game. It's so simple and straightforward, but the message kind of gets to you still.
I also love the graphics. The actual gameplay is not bad at all, it can be quite engaging. So good job, person who made this.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Very clever concept
