The police station of this city is a bit special, like all police squad worthy of the name there is one man that is fatty, huge, immense..., and in this case he can be rolled!. These cops have known how to take advantage of this "problem" into the team.

For do it you must place the cops on the board and push to the chubby man with they to its goal.
We have three cops to place on any section of the board. They can aim to the eight directions. For have control of the strength of the push, we have three bars of power that will determinate how many sections will be moved the chubby.

Very nice graphics, audio, humor and theme interpretation, but the game isn't very playable. I couldn't even get past the first level
nice game! really fun to play!! need votes on my game aswell: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=20784
I played the web version and I couldn't hear any audio. Windows 7 firefox. Anyway, loved the art and the gameplay was nice if a little difficult to control.
Nice pixel art and the music is fitting.
But damn, that interface and those controls are just so hard to use. I gave up before completing the first level. Took me so song to figure out how to even roll the policeman.
ratboy2713: Yeah, the web version is a bit bugged about the sound, however, in google chrome it work good.
Waynetron: I added one gif to the post that can be used as a guide for the basic control, we thought the in-game tutorial would be enough, sorry for the inconvenience!
Great job on the pixel art. The HUD though is frustrating. It would be better if they stayed visible all the time, or at least bind keyboard shortcuts. Or a way to move the keep the policemen in place after trying a failed roll, and allowing to move them around. Other than that, nice level design too!
Amazing graphics and audio! And the concept is pretty good too but it really is very hard to play. It's frustrating to have to keep restarting until you figure out the puzzle, spending many clicks to tweak one variable. I would have liked to just be able to move the policemen instead of restarting. That said I did beat a few levels. Could see this becoming a full game easily!
this game has nice graphics and audio, but is unplayable, would really like to play it after some edits, though.
The controls and gameplay were pretty hard to grasp, which is a real shame, since the game looks very nice and sounds even nicer. Despite this, I think the mechanic was pretty neat.
Amazing graphics and music and general presentation. But as others have said, the interface is basically broken, which is sad because the look and feel really made we want to keep playing. And the idea is actually really solid, kind of a different take on chu chu rocket's gameplay. Keep working on it, seriously. The game has a lot of potential.
I enjoyed the graphics and audio a lot, and your use of the theme was funny! It took me a little while to understand what to do, but your gif helped a lot. I got to the third level but it stumped me!
Great mood, but it just needs a bit more polish, like a more useful restart button and the like.
Very hard and addicting game, I love thinking with these kind of games, good work!
It took a while for me until i knew how it worked, but i really like the idea. The graphics are also very nice.
Given some time to iron out the interface issues, this could be cool. This would totally make a good mobile game.
So much epic. I like the concept, when you play the first time, dont understand, but when you know how to play, its so much fun. I like the animations and the gameplay Good job guys :D
Nice music and visual art. The gameplay its tricky but once you get the mechanic the concept it is very well done. I enjoyed it a lot.
Positive: Original concept and very nice graphics and sounds.
Negative: Non-intuitive controls (putting the control-guide in-game would have helped) and apparently no way to restart a level.
Very niceart, but maybe you need to make to controls better or make a tutorial on how to play.
Graphics and music are amazing! Concept is also really good and humorous! Excellent work! Mechanic is really difficult, though. Couldn't finish the first level due to the difficult interface.
I wanted to love this so much but it just doesn't work correctly. :(
Charging my shot sometimes resulted in moving 3 spaces, sometimes 1. I reloaded and tried several times and got the same inconsistent results.
Lovely concept and awesome art, though. Nice take on the theme. I just wish it worked as intended because I really wanted to play it.
-SonnyBone: When the bar stays charged for a while it reload again since the start, maybe that is your problem.
I recommend charge the bar that you wanna use only to the middle.
LOVED IT !
I was hoping to hear some cool music. But the game idea looks unique for me. And I meant to not check the "Controls Guide", to see how easy I can get the idea. And I found it in couple of tries. Good luck !
Such a good looking game and awesome idea! The music was nice to! But the gameplay was nothing but frustrating for me. The game would have been 10x better if the HUD wasn't so clunky and if you could reset the fat guy without removing all the other police men. It was also a pain to reset everything if you just wanted to move a single police man. Clearer instructions would have been nice too.
One of the best game i tested so far. It's would be awesome if instead of restarting the whole level, we could just restart the "deplacement" part.
Good game! The controls are a bit confusing, but nice work!
Took me a little to figure out, but I love the concept. I think it needs a bit better dictation on how the power bars effect the cop. Maybe make tutorial levels that are skippable over using an instruction gif. really solid game though. Not sure how it fits the theme i must admit.
Graphics, mechanics and sound were really innovative. A great game!
Very beautiful graphics! Needs a bit polishing (cops should stay on the board after a failure so that the player may move them around instead of placing them all over again) and debugging (sometimes z-fighting between border of roof and cops), but very unique idea.
Quite a fun game, and nice visuals! Too bad we can't restart without removing all the cops, would be nice to be able to retry faster. Good job anyway!
Perfect and fun pixel art, complex (but rewarding) gameplay - is there an 'Undo' button or something? :D
Nice game but hard to play. The web version doesn't work very well and I couldn't figure out what to do when the round guy rolled away from the policemen...

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.
Such beautiful pixel art.
